Article Abstract

Based on attachment theory and the McMaster family functioning model, this study explores the protective role and mechanisms of a caring parenting style in protecting adolescents from bullying, from the perspective of the family environment. Study 1, conducted in Southwest China with middle school students (n = 4582), investigates the relationship between a caring parenting style and adolescent bullying victimization through a large-scale cross-sectional survey. The results show that both parents' caring parenting styles are significantly negatively correlated with adolescent bullying victimization. Study 2, a two-wave study (n = 302), explores the protective mechanisms of a caring parenting style in adolescent bullying victimization. We not only observed again that a caring parenting style significantly negatively predicts bullying victimization but also found that family functioning and constructive conflict resolution play a chain-mediating role in this relationship. This finding not only supports the core hypothesis of attachment theory regarding the role of a secure base but also expands the theoretical model of bullying protection from a family ecological perspective by revealing a three-level transmission mechanism of parenting style-family system-individual capability, providing a theoretical anchor for the construction of a "family-school" collaborative intervention framework.

Background And Objectives: Over 12% of older Latinos in the United States have Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), facing earlier onset of the disease and severe symptoms compared to non-Hispanic Whites. These disparities in ADRD among Latinos can lead to significant caregiver strain and burden in Latino ADRD caregivers. Notably, Latino ADRD caregivers have poor overall health outcomes and face systemic inequities including limited access to quality dementia care resources that impact their well-being significantly.

Mapping Perceived Impact, Facilitators and Barriers of Cystic Fibrosis Management in Children and Adolescents: A Qualitative Study From the Parents' Perspective.

Scand J Caring Sci

September 2025

Lab3R - Respiratory Research and Rehabilitation Laboratory, School of Health Sciences (ESSUA) and Institute of Biomedicine (iBiMED), University of Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal.

Background: Cystic fibrosis imposes a significant treatment burden on children and their informal caregivers, who have to change their routines to carefully adhere to medication and exercise as treatment regimes. Although informal caregivers are known to be key players in the daily management of these children, their own voice is scarcely explored, often hindering personalisation of care. The main objective of the study was to map the multifactorial impact of cystic fibrosis, as well as identify barriers and facilitators perceived by parental caregivers in managing the disease in the paediatric age.

Background: Preschools are important environments in shaping young children's lifestyle behaviours, including movement (physical activity, screen time, and sleep) and eating behaviours. Few studies have investigated how teachers and principals can be supported in promoting healthy lifestyle behaviours in the preschool setting and whether a digital support tool could be a way forward. This study aimed to explore preschool teachers' and principals' perceptions, needs, and prerequisites for promoting healthy lifestyle behaviours, as well as their preferences for a potential digital support.

Background And Purpose: Siblings of children with chronic health conditions face unique psychosocial challenges, yet their voices remain underrepresented in research. While existing studies primarily rely only on parental proxy reports of sibling well-being or focus on experiences of older siblings or are confined to specific conditions like cancer, there is limited understanding of siblings' experiences more broadly from their voice. This study investigated the experiences of siblings of children with chronic health conditions in Australia from both sibling and parental perspectives.

Objectives: Careers in cardiothoracic (CT) surgery can substantially impact home dynamics, specifically influencing relationships and interactions with children. Factors impacting family experiences of CT surgeon-mothers have not been well-described. We sought to describe co-parent perceptions of child emotional and psychological well-being in families with CT surgeon-mothers.
