Identifying the causes of poor disease control and medication non-adherence is indispensable so that patients can benefit from treatment. The aim of our study was to determine the relationship between parental attitudes, the development of psychological resilience, and systematic medication adherence in a group of adolescents after kidney and liver transplantation. The analysis included the results obtained from 96 families. A total of 52 patients after kidney transplantation and 44 patients after liver transplantation, aged 12–18 years and their parents were examined. The types of parental attitudes were assessed using the Parental Attitude Scale. The patient’s resilience was determined with the Resiliency Assessment Scale. The MMAS-8 was used to assess the regularity of medication-taking behavior. A total of 61% of the patients in the study group displayed high levels of psychological resilience. The analyses showed a positive correlation between resilience and the systematic taking of medication by the patients. Moreover, it was found that the analyzed link between psychological resilience on the degree of the regularity of medication intake was enhanced by a specific type of parental attitude. The obtained results confirm the importance of psychological resources in developing better disease control. The relationship between the type of parental attitudes and medication adherence indicates the need to take into account the family context during the child’s treatment.

The concept of helicopter parenting is used to describe a parental disposition that is excessively child-oriented, intrusive and limiting to child’s autonomy. It is characterized by parents being overly concerned about child's future, making great efforts to avoid possible negative outcomes, preferring to plan and handle child’s life and even executing child’s tasks in his/her place. The objective of this study is to establish the relation between helicopter parental attitudes and ego inflation. The Perceived Helicopter Parental Attitude Scale and Ego Inflation Scale were applied to 432 people with an age group of 24-34 years. Hypotheses of the study were tested using structural equation modelling after results related to the fit values and factor loads of the scales were determined to be appropriate and adequate. The study found that 42.80 percent of the change in the inflated ego reported in young adults can be explained by a helicopter maternal attitude (R2 = .43). Helicopter paternal attitude accounted for 22.10 percent of the change in the inflated ego observed in young adults (R2 = .22). It has, thus, been demonstrated that ego inflation is triggered by helicopter parental attitudes and helicopter attitudes of mothers are more successful in creating ego inflation than those of fathers. We hope that the findings of the present study can be used in parent education and family counselling practices.

This paper presents data from a Parental Attitude Scale completed by 132 parents of adolescents in crisis admitted to the Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center. Factor analysis of the attitude scale delineated three bipolar factors: (1) the gratifying adolescent versus the nongratifying adolescent, (2) the nondelinquent self-controlled adolescent versus the prodelinquent impulse-ridden adolescent, and (3) the loving adolescent versus the rebellious adolescent.

The differences between the perceptions of parental attitudes in children of working and nonworking mothers and whether gender influences parental attitude perceptions were investigated. A General Information Form and the Bronfrenner Parents' Attitude Scale (in Turkish; Güneysu, 1982) were used. The data obtained were evaluated with t tests and Pearson correlation tests. Results indicate that the work status of mothers has a significant impact on the parental perception of their children, in particular how loving or punishing children perceive their parents to be (p < .001). Children of working mothers view their parents as more loving and less punishing compared to children of nonworking mothers. It was also found that gender impacts on perceptions of parents as punishing (p < .05). Girls scored higher than boys in perceiving both their mothers and fathers as punishing (p < .05). Moreover, a positive and significant relationship between the perceptions of mothers and fathers was observed (p < .001). In other words, children who perceive their mothers as loving perceive their fathers as loving, and children who perceive their mothers as punishing view their fathers the same way.

The aim of the study is to examine predictive effect of parental attitudes and socio-demographic variables (age, gender, time spent on smartphone, number of siblings, students’ feeling social, and parental education level) in university students’ addiction to smartphones. Participants included 670 university students whose age ranged between 18-30 years (M=21.6, SD=6.3). Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS) and Parental Attitude Scale (PAS) and Socio-Demographic Information Form were used to collect data. The results showed that age, gender, parental education level, time spent on smartphone, number of siblings, and state of feeling social and parental attitudes predicted a significant amount of variance (11%) in smartphone addiction. The students’ perception of feeling social and parental attitudes functioned as a moderator on their smartphone addiction. It was revealed that the perception to be social softened the relation between authoritarian parental attitude and smartphone addiction. Furthermore, students experienced less smartphone addiction when their perception of feeling social and democratic parental attitudes were taken together. A negative and significant relation was found between democratic and authoritarian parental attitudes and smartphone addiction. A positive and significant relation was established between protective parental attitude and smartphone addiction.

This study was designed to examine relationships between adolescents’empathy and aggression and parental attitudes. Two hundred and one high school students aged 16-18 completed the Polish Retrospective Parental Attitude Questionnaire, Interpersonal Reactivity Index and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire. Results showed that paternal attitudes have a great influence on the level of aggression in children, either raising (inconsistency and excessive demands) or lowering it (acceptance and autonomy). In contrast, the role played by empathy is considerably lower and only supports the relationship between parental attitudes and level of aggression. It also turned out that empathy partly plays the role of a mediator between fathers‘parental attitudes and the level of aggression in adolescents.

INTRODUCTION: Raising awareness in the emotions and behaviors of child / adolescent mothers diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder balances the relationship between the mother and child. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between parental attitude and emotion regulation in children / adolescent mothers diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). METHODS: The study was applied to mothers with children aged 8-18 years who were enrolled in the pediatric psychiatry outpatient clinic of a university hospital and served between July-November 2019. The population of the study consisted of 119 mothers who made appointments via telephone and internet, and the sample consisted of 60 volunteer mothers who agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected by using socio-demographic form, Parental Attitude Scale and Emotional Difficulty Scale. RESULTS: According to this, the mean EES and DSSI were 8.91 ± 2.38 and 37.28 ± 8.15, respectively. “Extreme Loose Attitude ından, 3.49 (SD = 0.98),“ Overreacting Attitude ”3.11 (SD = 1.27), and“ Aggressive Attitude were found to be 2.31 (SD = 1.26). A positive correlation was found between “Extreme Loose Attitude” and PAS (p <0.001). There was a significant positive relationship between “Overreactive Attitude” and “Aggressive Attitude ((p <0.01); There was a positive positive correlation (p <0.001) between “overreactive attitude” and mean scores of PES (p <0.001). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: There was a relationship between mothers' parental attitudes and emotional regulation and this affects children / adolescents. Therefore, mothers should be taught to regulate their emotional state towards children / adolescents, to control this process, and to contribute to the positive development of their democratic attitudes and behaviors. Ensuring that Pediatric Adolescent Psychiatric Nurses play a supportive, caring, consultant and educational role in clinics will have an important place in the services of Pediatric and Adolescent Mental Health and Diseases.

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between parental attitudes toward nature and their child's outdoor recreation and how these attitudes related to their reports of their child's health problems. The sample for this study consisted of parents of 6- to 13-year-old children from the United States, who accessed the survey from an informational website for gardeners between Mar. and Aug. 2009. Surveys were collected until 142 completed questionnaires were received. The online survey included questions about parents' attitude toward nature, parents' attitudes toward their child's outdoor recreation, an inventory of potential children's health problems, the time children spent in various indoor and outdoor activities, and demographic questions. Descriptive statistics were used to tabulate mean scores on the parental attitude toward nature (PAN) scale and parental attitude toward their child's outdoor recreation (PACOR) scale, both of which indicated overall positive views. Pearson's product–moment correlations indicated statistically significant relationships between the PAN scale, the PACOR scale, and time children spent outdoors. Relationships between time spent indoors on video games or watching television and health problems in children were identified. Time spent outdoors in free play was inversely related to reports of health problems in children.
