Correlates of Psychological Distress Among Mothers of Children and Adolescents with Hemophilia and HIV Infection
Abstract
Evaluated the correlates of mood state (psychological distress) in a multisite study of two groups: (a) mothers of HIV-positive children and adolescents with hemophilia (n = 91), and (b) mothers of HIV-negative children and adolescents with hemophilia (n = 92). Socioeconomic status, quality of family relationship support, and frequency of negative life events accounted for significant variance in Total Mood Disturbance (psychological distress) as measured by the Profile of Mood States in the overall sample. Severity of hemophilia was unrelated to distress. A significant interaction between HIV status and frequency of stressful life events indicated that this variable related more strongly to distress among mothers of HIV-infected children and adolescents with hemophilia than among mothers of HIV-negative children with hemophilia. Findings suggest that the presence of HIV infection in their children and adolescents may heighten the impact of negative life events on the psychological distress experienced by these mothers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
