在日本，需要医疗护理的残疾儿童人数正在增加，据估计，2015年已达到约1.7万人。她们的家庭照顾对母亲来说是一个很大的负担，因此母亲们很难找到外部工作。这项调查的目的是澄清需要医疗的残疾儿童的母亲的工作条件，并调查改善其工作和经济状况的有效社会支持。我们对前往日本大学职业与环境卫生大学医院或北九州日托机构的残疾儿童的父母进行了原始问卷调查。75位家长。其中包括73名母亲。登记的残疾儿童的年龄中位数为9岁。在接受调查的母亲中，有32人(42.7%，中位年龄40岁)有工作，但其中三分之二是非正式员工。其中22名母亲因子女残疾而失业。工作条件、子女年龄之间无显著相关。家庭规模和家庭收入。近89%的母亲希望得到工作是因为她们的价值观和经济地位，但近11%的母亲不是。这项调查表明，有特殊护理需要的残疾儿童的母亲就业率很低，而且大多数有工作的人都是非正规工作。重要的是支持母亲为她们的精神和经济状况寻找就业机会，必须特别注意她们需求的多样性。
The number of children in Japan with disabilities who require medical care is increasing and is estimated to have reached about 17,000 in 2015. Their home care is a great burden on mothers, therefore it is presumed to be hard for the mothers to find outside employment. The aims of this survey are to clarify the working conditions of mothers of children with disabilities that require medical care, and to investigate effective social support for improving their working and economic status. We carried out an original questionnaire survey on parents of children with disabilities who were visiting the University Hospital of Occupational and Environmental Health, Japan or daycare facilities in Kitakyushu City. Seventy-five parents. including 73 mothers, responded. The median age of the enrolled children with disabilities was 9 years old. Thirty-two of the mothers who responded (42.7%, median age 40) were employed, but two-thirds of them were non-regular employees. Twenty-two of the mothers had experienced a loss of work because of their children's disabilities. There were no significant relationships among the working conditions, children's age. size of family and household income. Almost 89% of the mothers desired to get employment for their sense of worth and economic status, but almost 11% did not. This survey clarified that the employment rate of mothers of disabled children with special care needs was low, and that most of those who were employed had non-regular employment. It is important to support the mothers in fording employment for their mental and economic status, and special attention must be paid to the diversity of their needs.
