Depressive symptoms in parents of adolescents with myelomeningocele: The association of clinical, adolescent neuropsychological functioning, and family protective factors

摘要

RESULTS: Parents' depressive symptoms correlated significantly with NP functioning in the domains of Mental Processing Speed, Psychomotor Speed, Executive Functioning, Fine Motor Skills, and Language, and with each self-reported family protective factor. Multiple regression analysis revealed independent main effects for the NP variable, Executive Functioning and the Family Protective Factors Composite (p < 0.05); there was no interaction (p > 0.10).
