Psychological Adaptation and Adjustment of Mothers of Children With Congenital Heart Disease: Stress, Coping, and Family Functioning

Abstract: The findings are in accord with previous research among other chronically ill populations in suggesting an association between stress, coping, and maternal adjustment. Within the limitations of the study, the data were interpreted to support the utility of theoretical models in identifying areas in need of intervention across chronic illness groups.

“…The literature (Davis, Brown, & Campbell, 1998) clearly shows that mothers of children with CHD experience high levels of daily stress. In response to this difficult situation, this study's conceptual model would predict that these mothers should be more likely to engage in an overly protective and more permissive parenting style permission has been granted for this version to appear in e-Publications@Marquette.…”

“…224 Notably, maternal perceptions have been found to be an important predictor of a child's emotional adjustment. [225][226][227] Adaptation in children and adolescents with CHD can be fostered by helping them to develop improved perceptions of competence in areas they deem important or by helping them to reduce the level of importance assigned to areas in which their competence is hindered, such as daily living, social, communication, and community living skills. Therefore, a partnership among families, educational personnel, and medical caregivers may be useful and beneficial in recognition and management of problems and to maximize adaptive functioning.…”
