Objective |
To evaluate whether effects of congenital heart disease (CHD) severity and family life stress on behavioral and emotional functioning are mediated by disease-related chronic stress and psychosocial adaptation.
Study design |
A cross-sectional analysis of the Pediatric Cardiac Quality of Life Inventory Testing Study was performed. Relationships between CHD severity (comprising 3 groups: mild heart disease, moderate biventricular disease, and single ventricle) and family life stress, on patient- and parent disease-related chronic stress, psychosocial adaptation, and behavioral–emotional outcomes were assessed using structural equation modeling. Patient and parent models were reported separately.
Results |
There were 981 patient–parent dyads: 22% had mild heart disease, 63% biventricular, and 15% single ventricle; 19% of families reported moderate to major family life stress. Path models revealed that CHD severity and family life stress were mediated by disease-related chronic stress and psychosocial adaptation factors (R2 = 0.18-0.24 for patient outcomes and R2 = 0.33-0.34 for parent outcomes, P < .001, respectively).
Conclusions |
The effects of greater CHD severity and family life stress on behavioral–emotional outcomes were mediated by worse disease-related chronic stress and psychosocial adaptation factors. Both disease-related chronic stress and psychosocial adaptation factors may be targets for interventions to improve behavioral and emotional outcomes.
