dc.description.abstractAbstract: To examine the pattern of relationships among factors related to depressive symptoms in adolescents of mothers with depressive symptoms, the structural equation model of adolescent depressive symptoms was tested. The conceptual framework, for this study, drew on the Interpersonal Theory of Depression. Through use of stratified sampling, 460 Thai adolescents, and respective mother, were selectedfor participation. All adolescents completed the: Demographic Data Questionnaire; Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale; Rosenberg’s Self-esteem Scale; Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support; Maternal Supportive BehaviorsQuestionnaire; Negative Event Scale; and, Parental Bonding Instrument. Each mother completed the: Demographic Data Questionnaire; and, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Data were analyzed using LISREL. A goodness of fit wasobtained with the model. The adolescents’ depressive symptoms accounted for over 60% of the variance.A strong effect of maternal depressive symptoms on depressive symptoms among Thai adolescents, as well as on mediation by intervening variables, was found. The results also enhanced understanding of how to develop and target nursing interventions to prevent development of depressive symptoms, and optimize mental health, among Thai adolescents, when their mother suffers from depressive symptoms.en_US
