Interactive effects of family functioning and sleep experiences on daily lung functioning in pediatric asthma: An ecological momentary assessment approach

Objectives: Children living in urban, underserved settings are at risk for experiencing sleep difficulties as well as poor asthma outcomes. The family is important for both asthma management and ensuring children are getting the necessary amount of sleep, but how family functioning and sleep patterns influence children’s asthma remains unclear. Methods: Fifty-nine children (7–12 years old; 90% African American) diagnosed with asthma, and their primary caregivers, participated in this study. In a single research session, caregivers rated overall family functioning via the Family Assessment Device. Caregivers also completed daily diaries delivered via smartphone for a two-week period rating their children’s daily sleep quantity and quality; a home-based spirometer (AM2) was used to assess children’s pulmonary functioning across that same period. Two-level multilevel models tested associations among overall family functioning, children’s sleep quality/quantity, and pulmonary functioning. Results: Child sleep quality, quantity, and general family functioning did not predict child pulmonary functioning directly. Family functioning and sleep quality interacted to predict children’s pulmonary functioning; children with poor family functioning and bad/very bad sleep quality had the poorest levels of lung functioning. Conclusions: These findings highlight a subset of children who are at higher risk for poor lung functioning based on sleep quality and family functioning. Results may inform routine monitoring of family functioning and sleep difficulties at pediatric asthma visits and intervention strategies to augment children’s lung functioning.

Effects of family function on depression, activities of daily living, happiness index and quality of life among elderly hypertension patients

Objective To explore the effects of family function on depression, activities of daily living, happiness index and quality of life among elderly hypertension patients. Methods From October 2015 to October 2017, we selected 80 elderly hypertension patients of Cardiovascular Department in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University by convenient sampling. All of the patients were divided into group of good family function and group of family dysfunction according to the Family Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection and Resolve (APGAR) . The scores were compared with the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) , Activities of Daily Living (ADL) , Index of Well-Being Scale and 36-item Short form Health Survey (SF-36) . SPSS 21.0 was used to statistical analysis. Results There were 47 (58.75%) patients in group of good family function and 33 (41.25%) patients in group of family dysfunction. The adaptation, intimacy, affection, growth and partnership of patients in group of good family function and the total score were superior to those in group of family dysfunction with statistical differences (P<0.01) . The scores of SDS and ADL of patients in group of good family function were lower than those in group of family dysfunction; the happiness index of group of good family function was higher than that of group of family dysfunction with a statistical difference (P<0.01) . The dimension scores of life quality of patients in group of good family function were higher than those of group of family dysfunction with statistical differences (P<0.01) . Conclusions We should pay attention to the family function of elderly hypertension patients, improve patients' happiness index, depression and ADL, so as to promote rehabilitation of hypertension patients.

The mediating effect of family function and medication adherence between symptoms and mental disability among Chinese patients with schizophrenia: a cross-sectional study

ABSTRACTSchizophrenia is a debilitating, chronic, and high-refractory mental illness. Researchers should focus considerable attention to patients with mental disability. This study aims to explore the mediating effect of family function and medication adherence between symptoms and mental disability among Chinese patients with schizophrenia during the convalescent stage. Data from a cross-sectional sample of 499 Chinese patients with schizophrenia were used in this study. The participants were recruited and independently interviewed using the General Information Sheet, Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule II (WHO-DAS II), Family APGAR Index (APGAR), and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) as outcome measures. A structural equation modeling strategy was used to analyze data. To analyze the correlation matrix, we applied the maximum-likelihood method to estimate the parameters. Bootstrapping was used to validate the mediation effects. Findings from the structural equation modeling demonstrated that family function and medication adherence played mediating roles between psychiatric symptoms and disability. This study presents a partial mediation model. Psychiatrists and nurses should assess the level of family function and medication adherence for schizophrenia, as well as provide interventions to improve family function and medication adherence, thereby eventually mediating disability.

대학생의 가족 및 타인에 의한 대인외상경험과 심리적 증상의 관계에서 가족기능의 매개효과

본 연구에서는 대인외상 유형에 따라 가족기능, 심리적 증상(우울, 불안)이 차이를 보이는지 확인하였다. 또한 구조방정식 모형을 통해 대인외상경험자 전체와 가족 및 타인에 의한 대인외상 집단을 대상으로 심리적 증상의 관계에 가족기능의 매개효과를 검증하였다. 이를 위해 서울, 강원, 충청, 전라, 경남, 부산, 제주 소재 대학교에 재학 중인 학생 645명(남 209명, 여 436명)을 대상으로, 외상경험 질문지, 가족기능, 심리적 증상 척도로 구성된 질문지를 사용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 가족 및 타인에 의한 대인외상은 가족기능에서 집단 간 차이가 없었다. 둘째, 가족 보다 타인에 의한 대인외상 집단이 심리적 증상의 평균이 높게 나타났다. 셋째, 가족기능이 대인외상경험과 심리적 증상 사이에서 부분매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 대인외상경험이 가족기능을 매개로 심리적 증상에 간접적인 영향을 미치는 동시에 직접적으로도 심리적 증상에 영향을 미친다는 것을 의미한다. 넷째, 가족기능이 가족에 의한 대인외상과 심리적 증상 관계에서 매개효과가 유의하지 않았다. 반면, 타인에 의한 대인외상은 심리적 증상 간의 관계에서 가족기능의 매개효과가 있었는데, 이는 각 대인외상 유형별 특성이 다름을 밝힌 것이다. 끝으로 본 연구의 의의와 한계점을 논의하였다.

The effects of family structure and function on mental health during China\u2019s transition: a cross-sectional analysis

BackgroundSocial change, intensified by industrialization and globalization, has not only changed people’s work lives but also their personal lives, especially in developing countries. The aim of this study was to provide evidence and recommendations regarding family structure, function, and mental health to actively respond to rapid social change.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted face-to-face and door-to-door from July 2011 to September 2012 in Hubei Province, central China. Family structure comprised alone, couple, nuclear family, and extended family; family function was measured using the family APGAR (Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve) scale, and mental health was measured using the Chinese version of the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12).ResultsThe urban-vs-rural difference of family structure among alone, couple, nuclear family, and extended family was statistically significant (5.21% vs 4.62%; 27.36% vs 13.14%; 33.22% vs 27.74%; 34.20% vs 54.50%, respectively; p < 0.0001); and those difference of family function was not statistically significant (8.11 ± 2.13 vs 8.09 ± 2.27, p = 0.9372). The general linear regression showed that the effect of family structure on mental health, whether urban or rural, was not significant, however, the effect of family function was significant, especially regarding better family functioning with better mental health.ConclusionsCombined the effects of family structure and function on mental health, the external form of family (family structure) may not be important; while the internal quality of role (family function) might be key. Improving the residents’ family function would be a priority strategy for family practice with their mental health.

The mediating effects of resilience between family function and geriatric depression

Objective To explore the mediating effects of resilience between family function and geriatric depression. Methods By convenient sampling, 212 elderly people who were from the communities in Yuexiu, Guangxhou city were analyzed by using Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-30) and Family Concern Index Questionnaire (APGAR) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and the self-designed General Condition Questionnaire, and a mediating model was proposed and the impacts of resilience on family function and geriatric depression were tested. Results The incidence rate of depression among the community elderly was 23.6% (50/212), and the average score of APGAR was 7.87 ± 2.83, and the average score of CD-RISC was 83.66 ± 12.88. The scores of GDS-30 showed significantly negative correlation with the scores of APGAR (r=-0.582, P < 0.01 )and the scores of CD-RISC (r=-0.425, P < 0.01), and there was positive correlation between the scores of APGAR and the scores of CD-RISC (r= 0.335, P < 0.01). The mediating model had high degree of fitting, and level of path had statistical significance (P < 0.01). Resilience was the mediator between family function and geriatric depression. Family function had direct effects (0.50) on geriatric depression and indirect effects (0.11) through resilience, and the combined effects of family function and resilience determined 45% changing range of geriatric depression. Conclusions Family function was a direct predictor of geriatric depression, and resilience had mediating effects between family function and geriatric depression. Community mental health work should pay enough attention to the effects of family function on the life of the aged, and increased the care to the elderly with family dysfunction, while promote and develop family-centered mental health education, propaganda and psychological guidance, so that improves resilience of the aged and help the aged positively coping and maintain good mental health status.

Effects of Family Functioning and Parenting Style on Early Entrants’ Academic Performance and Program Completion

The purpose of the current study was to examine the predictive nature of parenting style and overall family environment on the academic performance and program completion of early college entrants. Furthermore, gender and family form were examined as possible moderators to these relationships. A total of 88 early college entrants participated in this study. Results indicate that gender and family form had no measurable effect on grade point average or on program completion among early college entrants. Parenting style combined with overall family environment was not predictive of program completion or changes in academic performance. However, further analyses revealed that an authoritative parenting style was related to increases in grade point average among those students who showed an increase in grade point average during the program.

Family function and its relationship to injury severity and psychiatric outcome in children with acquired brain injury: a systematized review

The psychological and psychiatric outcome of children with acquired brain injury is influenced by many variables. A review was undertaken to clarify the contribution of family function, how it relates to injury severity, and what particular aspects of family function influence psychological outcome in this group. A systematized review of the literature of studies published between 1970 and 2012 from OvidMedline, PsychoInfo, PsycARTICLES, and Cochrane was undertaken focusing on family function, injury severity, and psychiatric outcome. Thirty-six papers met the inclusion criteria. Injury severity was linked to the development of organic personality change. Family function before injury, measured by the Family Assessment Device or the Clinical Rating Scale, had a statistically significant effect on general psychological functioning in six out of eight studies. Family function had a significant effect for oppositional defiant disorder and secondary attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder. The effects of family function may differ depending on the age of the child and the severity of the injury. Some styles of parenting moderated recovery. After injury, family function was related to the child's contemporaneous psychiatric symptoms. The level of evidence for these papers was 3 or 4 (Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine criteria). Screening for some aspects of family functioning before injury and family function during the rehabilitation phase may identify children at risk of psychiatric disorders.
