E-mail: melanie.page@okstate.edu.Received December 14, 2010; revisions received June 10, 2011; accepted June 21, 2011Objective To examine the relationship of parent and child ratings of illness uncertainty to depressivesymptomotology in children with a chronic illness using a mediational model framework.Method Mother–child dyads (N¼103 pairs) each completed measures of perceived illness uncertainty,while youth also completed a measure of depressive symptomotology. Results Maternal uncertaintywas directly related to child depressive symptoms; however, this relationship was mediated by childuncertainty. Conclusion It would appear that a key mechanism by which parent-related uncertaintyinfluences child depressive symptoms is through child uncertainty, underscoring the importance ofexamining cognitive appraisal variables and means of transmission in parent–child interactions.Key words adjustment; chronic illness; psychosocial functioning. |
