A second
study by the same authors (Lawoko & Soares, 2006) saw
these findings withstanding the test of time within a longitudinal
design, with a large proportion of the same
sample reporting long-standing symptoms of depression,
anxiety, and somatisation over a period of 1 year, indicating
prolonged psychosocial morbidity. On a similar note, a
study by Goldberg, Morris, Simmons, Fowler and Levinson
(Goldberg, Morris, Simmons, Fowler, & Levison, 1990)
found that parents of infants with CHD reported the highest
amount of stress within the child domain of the
Parenting stress index compared to parents of infants
with cystic fibrosis.
