Abstract: "This study tested a proposition deduced from Allen's Developmental Health Model (DHM) that the health potential of a family (its strengths, motivation and resources) is positively related to engagement in a process of health-related problem-solving (health work) in a Canadian sample of 138 single-parent (SPFs) and two-parent families (TPFs). The mother and one child (age 10-14) each completed mailed self-report instruments used to assess family cohesion (FACES III), family pride (Family Strengths Scale), mother's non-traditional sex role orientation (FEM Scale), self-efficacy (General Self-Efficacy Scale), internal health locus of control (IHLCS), network support (PRQ-85), community support (Family Social Support Index) and family income. Choice of health options (CHO), was measured by the Health Options Scale, developed by the investigator (alpha =.89, pilot and final study). |
