Abstract

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to investigate predictors of psychological distress in grandmother kinship care providers. More specifically, it was hypothesized that social support, family resources, and physical health would predict psychological distress in grandmothers raising grandchildren. Method: One hundred and two grandmothers raising grandchildren in parent-absent homes completed the Brief Symptom Inventory, Short Health Form-36, Family Resource Scale, Family Support Scale, and a questionnaire requesting background and demographic data. Results: Results indicated that psychological distress was predicted by family resources, participants' physical health, and to a lesser extent, social support. Conclusion: The findings indicate that family resources, social support, and physical health affected psychological distress in grandmothers raising grandchildren. Grandmothers who reported fewer resources, less social support, and poorer physical health tended to experience higher levels of psychological distress. This study suggests that greater attention be given to interventions aimed to decrease psychological distress and improve the financial resources and physical health of grandmothers raising grandchildren. Key Words: Grandparents raising grandchildren, Caregiver stress, Kinship care.

Abstract

Ritualistic abuse of children appears to be a real phenomenon, although proving its occurrence remains problematic. Establishing a history of ritual abuse is complicated by societal denial, the lack of direct evidence, and the possibility of hypnotically implanted memories. However, a review of the literature and an analysis of medical records of children at a psychiatric hospital document increased symptoms and more severe symptoms in children reporting ritual abuse. These include physical symptoms, emotional disturbances, fears, and expressive artwork.
