目的：要检查的背景下养育一个慢性病child.Methods的倦怠症状的患病率：共有252名1型糖尿病儿童的父母和38名炎症性肠病儿童的父母参加了一项以人群为基础的研究。对照组由124名随机选择的健康儿童的父母组成。我们使用自我报告问卷来评估症状burnus.Results：主要发现是，显着更多的慢性疾病儿童的父母（36%）得分为临床burnus.Results的症状，与健康儿童的父母（20%）相比。倦怠症状在糖尿病儿童的母亲中最为突出，尽管糖尿病儿童的父亲和炎症性肠病儿童的母亲和父亲也报告了更高水平的各种倦怠症状。倦怠可能是一个有用的模型，了解长期的父母的反应，并应承认在不同类型的心理后果的多，养育一个患有慢性病的孩子的多方面经验。性别似乎会影响倦怠症状的风险。继续研究其他背景因素，以及父母的情况如何随着时间的推移而变化是必要的。在临床上，我们需要注意可能患有倦怠的父母群体。
Aim: To examine the prevalence of burnout symptoms in the context of parenting a chronically ill child.Methods: A total of 252 parents of children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and 38 parents of children with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases participated in a population-based study. A control group consisted of 124 randomly selected parents of healthy children. We used self-report questionnaires to assess symptoms of burnout.Results: The main finding was that significantly more parents of children with chronic diseases (36%) scored for clinical burnout, compared with parents of healthy children (20%). Burnout symptoms were most prominent among mothers of children with diabetes, although fathers of children with diabetes and mothers and fathers of children with inflammatory bowel diseases also reported higher levels of various burnout symptoms.Conclusion: Burnout may be a useful model for understanding long-term parental responses and should be acknowledged among the different types of psychological consequences of the multi-faceted experience of parenting a child with chronic illness. Gender seems to influence the risk of burnout symptoms. Continued research about other background factors, and how the parents' situation changes over time are warranted. In the clinic, we need to draw attention to the group of parents who may suffer from burnout.
