A feeling of isolation childcare mothers' face is a serious social problem in Japan because the relationships with mothers and local communities have grown sparser. The purpose of this study was to clarify the feelings of isolation of mothers during childcare and the factors related to it.
We conducted a questionnaire survey in Yao City, Osaka. We mailed out a questionnaire survey of 1293 mothers with infants who had either a 4-month or 42-month routine health checkup during the period from September to December of 2018.
There was no association between "feeling lonely while raising my child" and the absence of "people who helped raise my children." On the other hand, it was found that the mothers' inner feelings, such as "I wasn't satisfied with my childcare environment" (OR: 2.55, 95% CI: 1.32-4.91, p = 0.0052) or "I lacked confidence in my own childcare abilities" (OR: 6.21, 95% CI: 4.31-8.95, p < 0.0001), were associated with their sense of loneliness.
Mothers' "sense of loneliness" was shown to be best correlated with their dissatisfaction with the environment of their childcare and with their lack of confidence in raising their own children.
在日本，育儿母亲的孤独感是一个严重的社会问题，因为母亲与当地社区的关系变得越来越疏远。本研究的目的是阐明育儿期间母亲的孤独感及其相关因素。
我们在大阪市八尾市进行了问卷调查。在2018年9月至12月期间，我们向1293名有婴儿且进行了4个月或42个月常规健康检查的母亲邮寄了问卷调查。
“养育孩子时感到孤独”与“没有帮助养育孩子的人”之间没有关联。另一方面，发现母亲的内心感受，如“我对育儿环境不满意”（比值比：2.55，95%置信区间：1.32 - 4.91，p = 0.0052）或“我对自己的育儿能力缺乏信心”（比值比：6.21，95%置信区间：4.31 - 8.95，p < 0.0001），与她们的孤独感有关。
母亲的“孤独感”与她们对育儿环境的不满以及对养育自己孩子缺乏信心的关联最为密切。
