Abstract:
We used exploratory data analysis to examine parents--adolescents congruencies and discrepancies and their correlates in assessing stress and symptoms in adolescents with schizophrenia. A total of 40 adolescents diagnosed with schizophrenia and their parents were drawn from a study of self-management therapy for youth with schizophrenia. Low to moderate congruencies in stress and symptoms were reported (r = .22~.41). Factors including adolescents' age, time spent with children, the number of hospitalizations, and level of disability explained the discrepancies. The results imply that health care providers should be aware that several factors are associated with the discrepancies between parents' and adolescents' reports.
