最近戏剧性的医疗和技术进步意味着，许多以前会死于慢性病的儿童现在活了下来，与家人生活的时间更长了。这项工作的目的是评估实施以家庭为基础的儿科暂缓护理是否减轻了照顾慢性病儿童的家庭的压力并改善了其生活质量。使用喘息服务与主要照顾者的躯体抱怨在统计学上显著减少(p<；0.05)相关。数据中也有一种趋势，表明休息时间的利用与随后儿童所需住院天数的减少之间存在关联(p<；.07)。讨论了干预措施对公共卫生政策的影响。
The recent dramatic medical and technological advances have meant that many children, who would have died previously of their chronic illnesses, now survive and live longer with their families. The purpose of this undertaking was to evaluate whether the implementation of home-based pediatric respite care reduced stress and improved the quality of life for families caring for children with chronic illnesses. Utilization of respite services was associated with a statistically significant (p < .05) reduction in somatic complaints by primary caregivers. There was also a trend in the data suggestive of an association between respite utilization and a subsequent decrease in the number of hospitalization days required by children (p < .07). Public health policy implications of the intervention are discussed.
