We explored whether reports of three dyadic relationships (marital/partner, parent-child, sibling) were related to perceptions of family functioning in 467 mothers of children with intellectual disability aged 4-15 years. Structural equation models were fitted to examine associations between relationship indicators and family functioning. The final structural model showed that partner relationship satisfaction, partner disagreement, child-parent conflict, and sibling relationship warmth accounted for the most variance in family functioning, with partner relationship satisfaction having the strongest positive association. Dimensions of dyadic relationships appear to be associated with broader constructs of family functioning in this sample of mothers, signifying the potential for systemic intervention.

智障儿童母亲的家庭关系及其与家庭功能感知的联系。

我们探讨了3种直系亲属关系（婚姻/伴侣，亲子，兄弟姐妹）的报告是否与4到15岁的467名智障儿童母亲的家庭功能感知有关。拟合结构方程模型以检验关系指标与家庭功能之间的关联。最终的结构模型表明，伴侣关系满意度，伴侣分歧，儿童-父母冲突和兄弟姐妹关系温暖是家庭功能差异最大的部分，伴侣关系满意度具有最强的正向联系。在这个母亲样本中，二元关系的维度似乎与家庭功能的更广泛的构造有关，这表明了进行系统干预的潜力。
