    Author: Stephenson C.
    Journal: J Pediatr Nurs; 1999 Jun; 14(3):164-76. PubMed ID: 10394220.
    Abstract:
    This descriptive, correlation study was guided by the Double ABCX Model of Family Adjustment and Adaptation. The purpose was to explore the relationships between stressors/strains, coping, and well-being of families with healthy and technology-assisted infants. A total of 172 families participated in the study (Healthy: n = 87; Technology-assisted: n = 85). The families completed a demographic instrument, Family Inventory of Life Events; Family Crisis Oriented Personal Evaluation Scale; and Family Well-Being Assessment Scale. Increased stressors/strains were related to decreased family well-being. There were significant differences between families with healthy and technology-assisted infants. Families with technology-assisted infants experienced more stressors/strains and lower well-being than families with healthy infants. However, level of coping for both groups was high; there was no significant difference between the two groups with regard to family coping.
