Improvements in health status in the People's Republic of China have led to a shift in the burden of illness from acute, communicable disease to long-term illness, particularly in urban areas. The Chinese family's response to chronic illness is influenced by many factors, including the traditional cultural value of family responsibility as well as economic determinants. Through direct interviews with 75 women, we sought to understand the financial, social, emotional, and physical effects of caring for a chronically ill child on a Chinese mother's life and caregiving ability and to identify the sources of support available to her.
中华人民共和国健康状况的改善已导致疾病负担从急性传染病转向慢性病，特别是在城市地区。中国家庭对慢性病的应对受到多种因素的影响，包括家庭责任的传统文化价值观以及经济因素。通过对75名女性进行直接访谈，我们试图了解照顾慢性病患儿对中国母亲的生活和照顾能力所产生的经济、社会、情感和身体方面的影响，并确定她可获得的支持来源。
