Family functioning as a moderator in the relation between perceived stress and psychotic-like experiences among adolescents during COVID-19
2021, Comprehensive PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :There are a few tools to measure family functioning, for instance, McMaster Family Assessment Device (FAD) developed by Epstein et al. [25] and Family APGAR index introduced by Smilkstein et al., which assesses the family functioning from five components: adaptation, partnership, growth, affection, and resolution [27]. Previous studies have suggested that good family system has a protective effect on youth mental health, such as reducing suicidal behavior among adolescents with mood disorders [28]. It is also reported that satisfying family functioning can help reduce stress among both adults [29] and adolescents [30].
Improving youth mental health through family-based prevention in family homeless shelters
2014, Children and Youth Services ReviewSelf versus maternal reports of emotional and behavioral difficulties in suicidal and non-suicidal adolescents: An Israeli nationwide survey
2013, European PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Possible explanations for the underreporting of mothers are lack of awareness, parental denial, absence or differing interpretation of events [43]. Decreased parental awareness may reflect low levels of family support, that had been associated with higher rates of suicidal behavior [23] or low parental bonding [12]. Thus, the combination of all these factors may leave the suicidal adolescent at even greater risk for a future suicidal attempt [25].
Adolescent and caregiver perception of family functioning: Relation to suicide ideation and attempts
2012, Psychiatry ResearchCitation Excerpt :Although the discrepancy variable produced a nearly significant association with ideation in a simple linear regression, only adolescent ratings remained significantly predictive of ideation when negative affect was included in the model. Previous research with adults has emphasized a relationship between suicidal behavior and the discrepancy between patient and family perceptions of family functioning (Keitner et al., 1987). The current findings suggest that, while family–patient discrepancy in perceptions of family functioning is consistently observed in suicidal inpatient populations, this discrepancy is not predictive of suicidal ideation or attempt status in adolescents.
This research was supported by a Biomedical Research Grant from the University of Michigan Medical School. Preliminary findings were presented at the Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association, San Francisco, August 1991, and the International Conference on Suicidal Behavior, Pittsburgh, PA, June 1992.
