“…Better family cohesion was associated with lower risks of depression among both parents and grandparents, which is in line with the relationship found in previous literature [40]. Although grandparents have some different experiences of adjusting to a child's disability than parents do, several studies showed similar adjustment: initial shock and denial→adjustment and acceptance→settlement and coping [41].…”

Family caregivers of children with disabilities might face high risks of depression, whereas the existing literature focused more on parents neglecting grandparents. This study investigated 380 parents and 108 grandparents of children with disabilities to identify depression and associated factors. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, Mann–Whitney U test, and multivariable logistic regression were performed to describe the participants’ characteristics and risks of depression and identify significant factors. Results showed that parents (35.5%) had higher risks of depression than grandparents (32.4%), but statistical differences were not found. Children’s sleep problems (AOR = 1.751, 95%CI = 1.019, 3.008), harmonious family relationships (AOR = 0.694, 95%CI = 0.569, 0.846), and better barrier-free construction (AOR = 0.742, 95%CI = 0.568, 0.970) were significantly associated with depression among parents. As for grandparents, higher education (AOR = 4.108, 95%CI = 1.526, 11.057) and caring for children who experience frequent mood swings (AOR = 2.242, 95%CI = 1.161, 4.329) were associated with higher risks of depression. Further, house ownership (AOR = 0.167, 95%CI = 0.031, 0.887), higher family cohesion (AOR = 0.545, 95%CI = 0.297, 1.000), and better barrier-free construction (AOR = 0.401, 95%CI = 0.185, 0.869) were associated with lower odds of depression. Therefore, both parents and grandparents of children with disabilities had high risks of depression and thus required urgent attention. Healthcare providers and policymakers should develop and implement interventions considering intergenerational differences to reach optimal efficiency.

IntroductionFamily cumulative risk (FCR) is predominantly regarded as an antecedent for adolescent mental health, as the prevailing perspective continues to emphasize the influential role of parents, despite recognizing the child's influence. To identify the interplay between family adversity (FCR, process‐related FCR, and sociodemographic‐related FCR), life satisfaction (LS), and anxiety and depression (AD), this study examined the cascade effects among these constructs.MethodParticipants (N = 707; 52.9% male; grades 10 and 11) from four high schools in Wuhan, China, were recruited to participate, and they completed the measures in October 2018, April 2019, and November 2019. Family sociodemographic risk (e.g., single parenthood) and family process risk (e.g., low family cohesion) were simulated in the models for FCR, sociodemographic‐related FCR, and process‐related FCR.ResultsThe random intercept cross‐lagged panel models (RI‐CLPMs) revealed a lagged effect from LS to FCR; lagged effects from LS and AD to process‐related FCR at the within‐person level; and significant associations between LS, AD, and family adversity at the between‐person level.ConclusionsThe lagged effects provide evidence for the influential child perspective and suggest that FCR and family process risk are sensitive to adolescent well‐being and psychopathological symptoms. School mental health prevention and intervention programs that take a complete mental health approach to enhance children's well‐being and alleviate symptoms would help prevent increases in family risk.
