Having an adolescent with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) can be stressful for the entire family. This study examined the impact of parents' relationship maintenance on their ability to manage the conflict associated with their child's T1D, the parents' physiological health (inflammation), and the relationships within the family. Sixty couples and their adolescent children with T1D participated. The couples engaged in a stressful conversation about their child's T1D in their home, followed by random assignment to a 2-week intervention designed to increase the relationship maintenance in the marriage. Results from the home visit revealed that when husbands and wives received greater maintenance from each other the past month, they perceived less conflict when talking about their adolescent's T1D, which was associated with less relational load and lower levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). For wives, greater relationship maintenance was also directly associated with less relational load and lower CRP levels. In addition, the relationship maintenance received was directly and positively associated with parent-child relationship quality for fathers, but this association was mediated by interparental conflict for mothers. Finally, the 2-week intervention reduced parents' relational load and the number of stressful conversations and improved the mother-adolescent relationship but did not significantly reduce parents' CRP.

父母的关系维持可以缓解青少年1型糖尿病的压力。

患有1型糖尿病（T1D）的青少年可能会对整个家庭造成压力。这项研究检查了父母关系维持对他们处理与孩子的T1D相关的冲突，父母的生理健康（炎症）以及家庭内部关系的能力的影响。六十对夫妇和他们患有T1D的青春期孩子参加了比赛。夫妻俩在家里进行了有关他们孩子的T1D的紧张谈话，随后随机分配了为期2周的干预措施，旨在增加婚姻关系。家访的结果显示，在过去的一个月中，当丈夫和妻子彼此得到更多的抚养时，当谈论青少年的T1D时，他们认为冲突减少了，这与较少的相关负荷和较​​低的C反应蛋白（CRP）相关。对于妻子来说，保持更大的关系也直接与更少的关系负荷和更低的CRP水平相关。此外，父亲之间的亲子关系质量与父母的亲子关系质量有直接的正相关关系，但这种联系是由母亲的父母之间的冲突引起的。最后，为期2周的干预减少了父母的关系负担和紧张的谈话次数，改善了母子关系，但并未显着降低父母的CRP。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。更高的关系维护量也直接与更少的关系负载和更低的CRP水平相关。此外，父亲之间的亲子关系质量与父母的亲子关系质量有直接的正相关关系，但这种联系是由母亲的父母之间的冲突引起的。最后，为期2周的干预减少了父母的关系负担和紧张的谈话次数，改善了母子关系，但并未显着降低父母的CRP。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。更高的关系维护量也直接与更少的关系负载和更低的CRP水平相关。此外，父亲之间的亲子关系质量与父母的亲子关系质量有直接的正相关关系，但这种联系是由母亲的父母之间的冲突引起的。最后，为期2周的干预减少了父母的关系负担和紧张的谈话次数，改善了母子关系，但并未显着降低父母的CRP。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。为期两周的干预减少了父母的关系负担和紧张的谈话次数，改善了母子关系，但并未显着降低父母的CRP。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。为期两周的干预减少了父母的关系负担和紧张的谈话次数，改善了母子关系，但并未显着降低父母的CRP。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
