Purpose: Adolescents in residential treatment (RT) encounter multiple obstacles upon discharge that can make maintaining treatment gains in the community challenging. This study examined relationships among parenting (sense of competence, practices), household chaos, and adolescent behavior problems in a sample of parents with adolescents in RT. Method: This exploratory cross-sectional study used convenience sampling to recruit 71 parents through Facebook. After providing informed consent, parents completed a battery of self-report instruments. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and linear regression. Results: Parents reported several strengths, including high involvement and consistent discipline, and low levels of corporal punishment. Parental sense of competence was relatively high, and household chaos was moderate. Adolescent inattention behaviors were positively associated with inconsistent discipline, corporal punishment, and parental sense of competence. Adolescent internalizing behaviors were positively associated with parent involvement and positive parenting and negatively associated with household chaos. Adolescent externalizing behaviors were positively associated with inconsistent discipline, corporal punishment, and parental sense of competence. Discussion: Findings suggest that there are numerous parenting strengths; however, some aspects of parenting could be promoted through evidence-based interventions such as parent training. Future research should also comprehensively study the home environment beyond self-report to understand environmental factors that may promote or inhibit adolescent behavior problems.

目的：接受住院治疗 (RT) 的青少年在出院后会遇到多种障碍，这使得在社区中维持治疗成果具有挑战性。本研究调查了 RT 中有青少年的父母样本中的养育方式（能力感、实践）、家庭混乱和青少年行为问题之间的关系。方法：这项探索性横断面研究使用便利抽样通过 Facebook 招募了 71 名家长。在提供知情同意后，父母完成了一系列自我报告工具。使用描述性统计和线性回归分析数据。结果：家长们报告了几个优势，包括高度参与和一贯的纪律，以及低水平的体罚。家长胜任感较高，家庭乱象适中。青少年的注意力不集中行为与不一致的纪律、体罚和父母的能力感呈正相关。青少年内化行为与父母参与和积极养育正相关，与家庭混乱负相关。青少年的外化行为与纪律不一致、体罚和父母的能力感呈正相关。讨论：调查结果表明，有许多育儿优势；然而，可以通过父母培训等基于证据的干预措施来促进育儿的某些方面。未来的研究还应该在自我报告之外全面研究家庭环境，以了解可能促进或抑制青少年行为问题的环境因素。
