Description
Summary:碩士 === 中原大學 === 心理學系 === 87 === ABSTRATE The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between children’s appearance deformity and their mothers’ care function and adaptation with cleft lip and palate. Research in the field has utilized conceptual model by Wallander(1992) account a framework for the differential children and maternal psychosocial adjustment in chronically ill and handicapped children. This models have incorporated a wide variety of risk and resistance factors rather than tranditional stress and coping model. Subjects were cleft lip and palate came from the outpatient department of craniofacial center of Chung Gung Memorial Hospital. Mothers of 80 children (40 boys;40 girls) completed the Coping Health Inventory for Parents, Modified Symptom Checklist 90-Rivised and Child Behavior Checklist. The variables were scores of high and low severity of appearance deformity. And the dependent variables were children’ adaptation, maternal care function and adaptation. The result revealed that (1)The comparison of the high and low severity of appearance deformity revealed no significance differences on children’ adaptation and maternal care function and adaptation.(2)Maternal care function were significantly positive relationship with maternal adaptation.(3)High levels of maternal care function were associated with increased adaptation in children.(4)Maternal adaptation were siginificantly positive relationship with childrens’ adaptation. A good deal of attention has been paid to social-ecological factors in understanding childrens’ adaptation with cleft lip and palate. The implications of this findings for the methodological limitation and continued study of chronically ill children adaptation are discussed.
