This article draws on data from a nationally representative sample of disabled children to investigate the support which careers receive from spouses, relatives, friends, neighbours and voluntary organizations. The results confirm the findings of previous studies that, within families, mothers bear the major burden both of child care and housework. However, the results indicate that families with disabled children generally do not receive as much support from relatives, friends and neighbours as some previous studies of children with particular disorders have suggested, and that membership of voluntary organizations is very low.
本文利用来自全国具有代表性的残疾儿童样本数据，调查照料者从配偶、亲属、朋友、邻居及志愿组织那里获得的支持。研究结果证实了先前研究的发现，即在家庭中，母亲承担着照顾孩子和家务的主要负担。然而，结果表明，与先前一些针对患有特定疾病儿童的研究结果相比，残疾儿童家庭通常从亲属、朋友和邻居那里获得的支持要少，而且志愿组织的成员比例非常低。
