Quality of life of parents of children with chronic disease is important for disease self-management. This study aimed to identify predictors of quality of life among mothers of children with type 1 diabetes. A cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 208 mothers of children with type 1 diabetes were recruited from an online health community. Online health community collective empowerment and social support, diabetes self-efficacy, diabetes-related burden, and quality of life were measured. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine predictive factors for quality of life. Multiple regression analysis showed that diabetes-related burden and the child's age were predictors of quality of life, and total variance explained by the model was 64.1% using two factors. In mothers of younger children, it is important to reduce the diabetes-related burden. Factors that increase the diabetes-related burden should be identified, and strategies to reduce the diabetes-related burden must be established.
慢性病患儿家长的生活质量对疾病自我管理很重要。本研究旨在确定1型糖尿病患儿母亲生活质量的预测因素。进行了一项横断面研究。从一个在线健康社区招募了208名1型糖尿病患儿的母亲。测量了在线健康社区集体赋权和社会支持、糖尿病自我效能感、糖尿病相关负担和生活质量。进行多元回归分析以确定生活质量的预测因素。多元回归分析表明,糖尿病相关负担和孩子的年龄是生活质量的预测因素,使用这两个因素,模型解释的总方差为64.1%。对于年幼儿童的母亲来说,减轻糖尿病相关负担很重要。应确定增加糖尿病相关负担的因素,并必须制定减轻糖尿病相关负担的策略。
