Childcare problems and needs of community health services in families with the handicapped multiple birth children

本次调查是在2,000名多胎子女母亲中进行的，目的是研究残疾多胎子女家庭的儿童保育问题和社区卫生服务需求。得到以下结果.与非残疾多胞胎的母亲相比，残疾多胞胎的母亲表现出更大的疲劳和睡眠质量差。与那些有两岁以下孩子的母亲相比，有三岁或三岁以上非残疾多胞胎孩子的母亲表现出更少的身体疲劳和更好的睡眠质量。但3岁及以上残疾儿母亲的身体疲劳程度和睡眠质量并不比多胎残疾儿母亲低，需要社区卫生福利服务的时间不仅在2岁以前，而且要长得多.在有残疾多胞胎的母亲中，与那些没有办法缓解压力的母亲相比，有办法缓解压力的母亲报告的疲劳程度更低。这些母亲通过与其他残疾多胞胎的母亲或朋友交谈来减轻压力。研究表明，有残疾多胞胎的母亲能够通过促进自助团体来缓解压力和改善疲劳。

This survey was conducted on a population of 2,000 mothers of multiple birth children to study childcare problems and needs of community health services in families with the handicapped multiple birth children. The following results were obtained.1. Mothers with the handicapped multiple birth children showed greater fatigue and poor sleep quality, compared to mothers with the non-handicapped multiple birth children. Mothers with non-handicapped multiple birth children aged 3 or more showed a tendency of less physical fatigue and better sleep quality, compared to those with the children aged up to two. However, mothers with the handicapped children aged 3 or more did not show less physical fatigue and better sleep quality than those with the handicapped multiple birth children needed community health and welfare services not only during infant aged up to two, but also much longer duration.2. In mothers with the handicapped multiple birth children, mothers who had ways to alleviate stress reported less fatigue, compared to those who had no way to alleviate stress. These mothers alleviated stress by talking with other mothers of the handicapped multiple birth children, or friends. It was shown that mothers with the handicapped multiple birth children were able to alleviate stress and improve fatigue by promoting self-help groups.
