背景。有特殊保健需要的儿童和青年（CYSHCN）情况复杂，往往依赖电气设备（技术电气依赖）来维持生命。由于他们依赖电力，而电力故障是常见的，本研究的目的是调查他们对电力故障的准备情况。方法。本研究要求technoelectric CYSHCN的家长和照顾者填写一份准备问卷。我们方便地收集了50名患者的样本。结果。这50名患者总共使用了166个电子设备。在50名患者中，有35人认为家用呼吸机、氧气浓缩器和喂养泵是儿童最重要的设备，但35名患者中只有19人确认这些设备有备用电池。此外，50名患者中有22名有长期停电准备计划。结论。依靠技术电力的CYSHCN对电力故障准备不足。
Background. Children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) are complex and often dependent on electrical devices (technoelectric dependent) for life support/maintenance. Because they are reliant on electricity and electricity failure is common, the purpose of this study was to survey their preparedness for electricity failure. Methods. Parents and caregivers of technoelectric CYSHCN were asked to complete a preparedness questionnaire. We collected a convenience sample of 50 patients. Results. These 50 patients utilized a total of 166 electrical devices. A home ventilator, oxygen concentrator, and a feeding pump were identified as the most important device for the children in 35 of the 50 patients, yet only 19 of the 35 patients could confirm that this device had a battery backup. Also, 22 of the 50 patients had a prolonged power failure preparedness plan. Conclusion. Technoelectric-dependent CYSHCN are poorly prepared for electrical power failure.
