Maternal Stress in DMD versus CP Groups
| PSI-SF Subscale | DMD (n = 112) M ± SD | CP (n = 28) M ± SD | F | df |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parental distress | 28.15±6.55 | 25.64±7.57 | 1.62* | 3, 1 |
| Parent-child dysfunctional interaction | 24.62±6.93 | 22.67±7.77 | 0.86* | 3, 1 |
| Difficult child | 31.71±8.93 | 25.96±10.1 | 32.91** | 3, 1 |
DMD = Duchenne muscular dystrophy. CP = cerebral palsy. PSI-SF = Parental Stress Index–Short Form. Gender and age were covariates in the analysis. Findings are ns at .01 level.
p > .05.
p < .05.
