Roles of Psychological Flexibility, Parenting Competence, and Asthma Management Self-Efficacy in the Functioning Outcomes of Parents of Children with Asthma Co-Occurring with Atten... by Yuen Yu Chong, Pui Tik Yau, Joycelyn Yee Man Kwan, Wai Tong Chien

“…Baseline data were analyzed from 130 parents (mean age = 40.3 years, SD = 5.5; 88.9% mothers) of children diagnosed with both asthma and ADHD (mean age = 8.0 years, SD = 2.2; 74.6% boys), who were participating in a randomized controlled trial evaluating an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based parenting intervention. An adjusted structural equation model revealed that greater parental psychological inflexibility was significantly associated with poorer family functioning (β = −0.61, 95% CI [−0.74, −0.33], <i>p</i> < 0.001) and increased psychological maladjustment (β = 0.48, 95% CI [0.32, 0.63], <i>p</i> < 0.001), accounting for intercorrelations with parenting competence and parental asthma management self-efficacy. …”
