Literature Review on Support for Children and Families Experiencing Parental Bereavement

Purpose: This study aimed to understand the actual nursing support in a wide perspective by reviewing overseas literature on support for children who have experienced parental bereavement and their families. The goal was to identify future challenges in nursing support in clinical practice in Japan. Method: Literature searchable as of May 2023 was retrieved using PubMed, resulting in 11 relevant articles. Result: The results revealed the following: 1) For support provided to children, 13 codes were condensed into 5 subcategories and 4 categories. 2) For support provided to families, 36 codes were condensed into 11 subcategories and 4 categories. Conclusion: Open communication was found to be essential for supporting children and their families who have experienced parental bereavement. Moreover, involvement of multiple professions facilitated the provision of specialized support to address diverse needs of children and families, playing a crucial role in overcoming grief. Additionally, the effectiveness of support systems for bereaved families highlighted the need for nursing professionals in Japan to gain knowledge through learning opportunities and to establish a multi-disciplinary approach to support, thus indicating future challenges in nursing support.

The Development of a Feeding Coparenting Scale for Japanese Parents of Fifth- and Sixth-Grade Elementary School Children

Aim: Recently, the role of feeding coparenting has gained attention in the child eating research field. The Feeding Coparenting Scale (FCS), a measure of how caregivers interact with their partners when feeding their children was developed in the United States in 2019. However, there is no valid and reliable measure to assess feeding coparenting among caregivers of school-aged children in Japan. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a Japanese version of the FCS (FCS-J) questionnaire for caregivers with school-aged children. Methods: This was a web-based cross-sectional survey completed by caregivers of children aged 10-12 years. A preliminary survey using interviews and a web-based survey was conducted and found that the translated items of the FCS into Japanese were understandable to Japanese people. The developed survey was administered to parents of children at an elementary school. The reliability of the survey was assessed using both test-retest reliability and internal consistency analysis. Exploratory factor analysis was used to test construct validity, and known population validity was examined in relation to attributes, marital satisfaction, and feeding tasks. Results: Findings with 135 parents of school-aged children showed good internal reliability and validity of the FCS-J. The mean score for the overall FCS-J score was 46.2 (SD = 6.2), with Cronbach’s α of 0.72. For the subscales, Cronbach’s α ranged from 0.75 to 0.79. In sum, the present study’s results support the three-factor structure of the FCS in Japanese caregivers in Japan. Conclusions: The developed FCS-J was found to have a certain degree of reliability and validity. In this study, a Japanese version of the FCS-J was developed. .

Children’s Health, Parent-Child Activities, Using Digital Devices, and Social Competence: Serial Mediation

Background: Studies have pointed out the influence of different children’s activities and prolonged use of digital products on their social development. However, whether the parent-child activities and using digital devices were serial mediators of the relationship between children’s health and social development needs further verification. Purpose: This study explored how parent-child activities and children’s use of digital devices influence the relationship between children’s health and their social competence. Method: This study used data from Kids in Taiwan: National Longitudinal Study of Child Development and Care. A total sample of 2164 participants was used in this study. Serial mediation analyses were performed using model six of Hayes’ PROCESS (2012). Results: This study found that parent-child activities and the use of digital devices can serially mediate the relationship between children’s health and social competence. Children’s health could directly improve their social competence, but it could also serially mediate social competence by increasing parent-child activities and reducing the use of digital devices. Conclusion: Childcare policy planners and parenting educators should not only call on parents to reduce the use of electronic products for their children, but also encourage parents to spend more time interacting with their children, so that children can learn social skills by interacting with others in their daily lives.

Parental Anxiety and Quality of Life of Epileptic Children

Objective To investigate the prevalence of parental anxiety associated with epileptic children, and to explore whether and how this specific condition affects children＇s quality of life （QOL）, and what are the significant determinants for parental anxiety. Methods Three hundred and forty parents whose children were affected with known epilepsy were enrolled in the study. Questionnaires for quality of life in childhood epilepsy （QOLCE）, and hospital anxiety and depression （HAD） of parents were used to collect demographic data of both children and their parents, as well as clinical manifestations of epilepsy and family status. Results Parental anxiety （of any severity） was observed in 191 subjects at interview, giving a prevalence rate of 56.2%. Of the 191 subjects, 18.5% reported mild anxiety, 24.4% moderate anxiety, and 13.2% severe anxiety. Factors associated with parental anxiety included frequency of seizure in children, average monthly income per person and parents＇ knowledge about epilepsy （P〈O.05）. Parental anxiety significantly （P--O.O00） correlated with quality of life of children with epilepsy. Conclusion Parents of children with epilepsy are at high risk of having anxiety. Factors associated with parental anxiety originate both from children and from parents. Parental anxiety is significantly related with children＇s QOL. It is important for experts concerned to recognize such a relationship to improve the QOL of children and their parents.

中国家庭母亲语言输入特征及其与儿童语言发展的关系

一直以来,亲子言语互动被认为是推动儿童早期语言学习和发展的重要动力。母亲的社会经济地位不同,其语言输入质量也不同。从语言输入的交互性、语言性和概念性三个维度看,母亲语言输入的语言性和概念性预测了儿童的语言能力发展。因此,在家庭语言环境中,应建立交互性、语言性和概念性为一体的语言环境支持系统,且家庭语言教育要关注概念性语言的输入,家庭语言互动中应注重提升亲子言语互动质量。

母亲抑郁与幼儿社会适应:母亲的悲伤反应与亲子冲突的中介作用

本研究以上海市两所幼儿园的205名3~6岁幼儿为被试,探讨了母亲抑郁与幼儿社会适应的关系,并考察了母亲对幼儿消极情绪的悲伤反应和亲子冲突在其中的中介作用。结果发现:(1)母亲抑郁可以显著正向预测幼儿情绪问题,显著负向预测幼儿亲社会行为;(2)母亲的悲伤反应在母亲抑郁与品行问题之间起完全中介作用;亲子冲突在母亲抑郁与幼儿多动分心和品行问题之间起完全中介作用,在母亲抑郁与情绪问题之间起部分中介作用;(3)母亲的悲伤反应和亲子冲突在母亲抑郁与幼儿多动分心、情绪问题以及品行问题之间起链式中介作用,但效应量较低。本研究结果进一步揭示了母亲抑郁对幼儿社会适应影响的内在机制。

目的:为探讨流动儿童社会排斥、自尊、亲子依恋与抑郁的动态关系。方法:以班级为单位对385名流动儿童进行为期一年的纵向追踪调查。采用协方差结构方程模型对前、后两次4个研究变量间的动态关系进行检验。结果:控制年龄和性别作用后显示:①流动儿童前测社会排斥可以预测其后测抑郁水平(β=0.12,P<0.01);②流动儿童前测自尊在社会排斥对抑郁的即时和延时预测中均起部分中介作用,中介效应值分别是0.11和0.03;③流动儿童前测亲子依恋在其前测社会排斥影响后测抑郁的中介路径前半段中起延时调节作用,调节效应值为-0.12。结论:①社会排斥可以预测流动儿童的抑郁水平;②自尊在社会排斥和流动儿童抑郁中起即时和延时中介作用;③亲子依恋能够延时调节流动儿童社会排斥与自尊的关系。

计划生育特殊家庭老人的社会关系变迁

计划生育特殊家庭老人群体数量的增加和年龄的增长将带来更大的社会服务需求。理解这一群体社会关系的动态变化,不仅有助于明晰其社会支持网络的演变特点,也有助于制定更有效的人口政策,防范家庭陷入困境的风险。本文采用扎根理论作为收集和分析资料的主要方法,选取某市某养老机构计划生育特殊家庭专区为主要的田野点,深度访谈了21名70岁以上的独生子女去世的老人。计划生育特殊家庭老人的社会关系主要形成了四种模式,分别为收缩型、扩展型、替代型和平衡型。这四种模式都是他们在子女去世后重建社会关系的方式,一些模式可能存在不稳定的风险,有必要在政策上对该群体提供更精准的回应和关怀。政府部门和社会服务机构从社会关系角度切入,将能更有效地为这一群体提供服务。

感知父母婚姻冲突、亲子关系与青少年心理危机的关系:认知灵活性的中介作用

本研究采用多项式回归和响应面分析技术综合考察感知父母婚姻冲突、亲子关系与青少年心理危机的关系,及认知灵活性在其间的中介作用。结果显示:(1)感知父母婚姻冲突和亲子关系的综合作用可以显著预测青少年的抑郁和非自杀性自伤行为。(2)当感知父母婚姻冲突和亲子关系一致时,相较低亲子关系−高感知父母婚姻冲突,高亲子关系−低感知父母婚姻冲突的个体具有更高的认知灵活性,进而降低了抑郁和非自杀性自伤行为的发生风险。(3)当感知父母婚姻冲突和亲子关系不一致时,相较低亲子关系−低感知父母婚姻冲突,高亲子关系−高感知父母婚姻冲突的个体具有更低的认知灵活性,从而增加了抑郁和非自杀性自伤行为的发生风险。

论妨碍探望的民事责任

探望被妨碍的救济问题应纳入债之关系进行处理。增加直接抚养方父母压力不能成为排斥适用债法规范的当然理由。根据双方是否存在探望权行使约定,可相应形成违约损害赔偿责任、法定义务不履行责任与侵权损害赔偿责任等形态。探望权约定作为纯粹身份关系协议具有一定的法律约束力,在不直接损害未成年子女利益的前提下,可根据《中华人民共和国民法典》第464条第2款,参照适用违约责任规范。即使欠缺双方具体约定,双方之间亦存在法定义务,直接抚养方父母不仅有协助间接抚养方父母行使探望权的义务,而且有保护间接抚养方父母相关财产利益的义务。在直接抚养方父母不履行义务时,可经由《中华人民共和国民法典》第468条链接债务不履行责任规范。探望权在对外层面具有绝对权性质,受侵权法保护。无论基于何种责任基础,均应采一般过错归责,无益费用均可纳入损害赔偿范围。

三孩政策下父母合作育儿研究

三孩政策和性别观念变迁背景下,“父母合作育儿”模式有利于缓解生育意愿和生育政策之间的差距问题。实现父母合作育儿有四个成功的经验:母亲要引导父亲参与育儿,双方要积极沟通,达成共识,采取明确而有弹性的分工;工作单位支持、祖辈支持、托幼服务和社区支持是三个有利于实现父母合作育儿的条件;父母合作育儿在孩子多元发展、夫妻关系发展、父辈-祖辈关系和谐、父母自我成长中起到促进作用;要从社会共育理念、育儿支持政策、公共空间构建、弹性工作安排、育儿人才队伍建设上采取措施,推动育儿友好型社会的建设,缓解父母合作育儿压力,促进该育儿类型的发展,增加个体响应三孩政策的可能性。

显性断裂与隐性承袭:从代际共育看家庭伦理的现代化

本文以“农二代”城市新移民家庭的代际共育为经验研究对象,讨论农业家庭进城后中间一代在同居共育过程中重建家庭平衡的实践过程。一方面,面对强大的现代化压力,中间一代有意识地依据培养现代个体的观念与技术来抚育子代,他们对自己儿时被抚育经历的反思强化了“为人父母”时抚育理念的现代化,造成祖代与中间一代观念上的显性断裂。另一方面,在共居育儿的生活实践中,中间一代又隐性承袭了亲子一体的传统意识,既会无意识地调用亲子一体的伦理资源来平衡家庭关系,也可能在不同程度上存在“文化自觉”,体认到育儿的现代实践依赖传统一体的支持。“一体”与“个体”的交织塑造着家内行动者尤其是女性的感情世界。这一过程既展现了中国式现代化进程中传统伦理深沉而恒常的支持力量,又蕴含着其在当下实现创造性转化的可能。
