Adams (conference@dawnadams.co.uk)*, n. Jackson, e. Karakatsani and c. Oliver cerebra centre for neurodevelopmental disorders & university of birmingham, united kingdom aim: to document coping styles used by mothers of children with rare genetic syndromes and explore how these relate to positive and negative maternal mental health. Method: 89 mothers of children with rare genetic syndromes completed questionnaires assessing maternal mental health (hospital anxiety and depression scale, positive and negative affect scale) and maternal coping styles (brief cope). Results: the most frequently reported coping style was problem-focussed coping, and the least frequent was religious/denial. Coping styles were not associated with child age or ability, but were significantly associated with maternal mental health. Higher levels of active avoidance were associated with higher levels of negative affect and increased levels of anxiety and depression. Conversely, higher levels of problem-focussed and positive coping styles were associated with higher levels of positive affect. Conclusions: although this study cannot comment on causation between coping styles and mental health, the identification of a relationship between coping styles and mental health (both positive and negative) highlights a key area for intervention.
