The number of children requiring daily medical care is on the rise, with many being cared for at home. This situation places a significant burden on mothers, who often serve as the primary caregivers.
This study aimed to clarify the factors that affect the quality of life of mothers with children who require home health care.
A questionnaire study was conducted among mothers of children needing medical care at home, with 46 participants responding. The questionnaire included items regarding the child's condition, the mother's situation, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-26scale.
Factors influencing the quality of life of mothers included whether the child attended daycare or school (β=.274; P=.04), the duration of home care (β=.305; P=.02), and the presence or absence of position changes (β=-.410; P=.003). The presence or absence of position changes had the most significant impact (adjusted R=.327).
The most significant factor affecting the quality of life of mothers of children requiring home medical care is the presence or absence of positional changes.
需要日常医疗护理的儿童数量在不断增加，许多儿童在家中接受护理。这种情况给经常担任主要照料者的母亲带来了巨大负担。
本研究旨在阐明影响需要家庭医疗护理的儿童的母亲生活质量的因素。
对需要在家接受医疗护理的儿童的母亲进行了问卷调查，46名参与者进行了回应。问卷包括有关儿童状况、母亲情况以及世界卫生组织生活质量-26量表的项目。
影响母亲生活质量的因素包括孩子是否参加日托或上学（β=0.274；P=0.04）、家庭护理的持续时间（β=0.305；P=0.02）以及是否有体位变化（β=-0.410；P=0.003）。是否有体位变化的影响最为显著（调整后的R=0.327）。
影响需要家庭医疗护理的儿童的母亲生活质量的最显著因素是是否有体位变化。
