De Relatie tussen de Culturele Achtergrond van Moeder en het Probleemgedrag van het Kind en  de Mediërende Rol van de Meegemaakte Traumatische Gebeurtenissen van Moeder

The rapidly changing and growing multicultural society in the Netherlands necessitates that healthcare professionals pay increased attention to cultural diversity in care provision to ensure successful application of culturally sensitive adaptations. This study focused on the development of problem behavior in children in relation to the cultural background of the mother and the traumatic events experienced by the mother. Twenty-nine mother-child pairs who participated in this study were part of an ongoing research project conducted by Leiden University and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, in collaboration with Sterk Huis and Blijf Groep. The Life Events Questionnaire was used to measure traumatic events experienced by mother and the Child Behavior Checklist was completed by mother to assess her child's problem behavior. Additionally, a distinction was made between Dutch and nonWestern mothers to clarify migration and cultural differences among mothers. T-tests, regression analyses,...Show moreThe rapidly changing and growing multicultural society in the Netherlands necessitates that healthcare professionals pay increased attention to cultural diversity in care provision to ensure successful application of culturally sensitive adaptations. This study focused on the development of problem behavior in children in relation to the cultural background of the mother and the traumatic events experienced by the mother. Twenty-nine mother-child pairs who participated in this study were part of an ongoing research project conducted by Leiden University and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, in collaboration with Sterk Huis and Blijf Groep. The Life Events Questionnaire was used to measure traumatic events experienced by mother and the Child Behavior Checklist was completed by mother to assess her child's problem behavior. Additionally, a distinction was made between Dutch and nonWestern mothers to clarify migration and cultural differences among mothers. T-tests, regression analyses, and the Baron and Kenny method for mediation were employed to address the sub-questions. No significant association was found between traumatic events experienced by mother and mother's cultural background, nor between child's problem behavior and mother's experienced traumatic events, or between child's problem behavior and mother's cultural background. No mediation effect of mother's experienced traumatic events on the relationship between mother's cultural background and child's problem behavior was found. Though the results suggest that the issues among the groups of mothers and children are generally similar, the sample size is too small to detect a significant association and draw strong conclusions. Nonetheless, each may require a different approach to resolve their problems, and everyone benefits from a professional who develops cultural knowledge, cultural skills, and a cultural attitude that aligns with mother and child.Show less
