AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores the link between emergency room (ER) visit frequencies and different parenting styles, as well as their impact on psychological issues in children with sickle cell disease (SCD).
- Ninety-eight parents of children aged 6-18 with SCD completed assessments on parenting styles and child mental health, along with reporting ER visit frequency over the past year.
- Findings indicated that ER visits significantly related to withdrawn/depressed behaviors, and various parenting styles affected different types of psychopathology, highlighting the need to consider both factors in future research and treatment strategies.
Article Abstract
Background: To examine associations between frequency of emergency room (ER) visits and various parenting styles, both conjointly and interactively, and psychopathological outcomes among pediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD).
Procedures: Ninety-eight parents/caregivers of 6- to 18-year-old patients with SCD completed instruments assessing parenting style, child psychopathology, and reported on the frequency of ER visits during the previous year.
Results: ER visits were found to significantly explain Withdrawn/Depressed problems and parenting styles were found to incrementally contribute to the explanation of all forms of psychopathology. Further, Permissive parenting was found to explain Rule Breaking Behavior for those patients with low ER visit frequency but not for those with high ER visit frequency.
Conclusions: Results of the current study confirm the importance of considering both the frequency of ER visits and parenting style in the explanation of psychopathology among pediatric patients with SCD. Results have important implications for both research and treatment.
