了解母亲的焦虑情绪对儿童在基层儿科保健机构就诊次数的影响。
病例对照研究。
基层保健机构。西班牙巴伦西亚自治区第17健康区。
134名母亲。过度就诊定义为在某一时期内就诊次数高于所有儿童就诊次数的平均值加一个标准差。14.89%的母亲属于过度就诊者。46名母亲(35.12%)来自过度就诊儿童组,85名母亲(64.88%)来自非过度就诊儿童组。
焦虑量表STAI(斯皮尔伯格状态-特质焦虑量表)简表。母亲的工作及子女数量。
过度就诊儿童的母亲在STAI量表上得分更高。子女数量或母亲的工作与STAI得分无关。多因素分析显示,焦虑是与过度就诊儿童相关的重要因素。
在基层儿科保健机构中,母亲的焦虑情绪与儿童过度就诊有关。这是一个可改变的因素,可影响不适当就诊次数。
