Building a family support system for children with slight developmental disorders

本研究的目的是澄清轻度发育障碍儿童的父母所感受到的焦虑。此外，这个想法是开始建立一个支持系统，以便父母能够培养适当的儿童保育态度。在这项研究得到鸟取大学伦理委员会的批准后，我们选择了有发育障碍儿童的母亲，她们曾咨询过鸟取大学儿童神经内科的医生。一些母亲同意参与这项研究，所以我们采访了其中的10位。通过访谈发现，母亲受到以下几个项目的影响：1。没有人理解我的孩子或他/她的障碍；许多人对患有精神障碍的儿童抱有偏见。通过这种方式，可以清楚地看出，这些母亲在家庭、学校和社区中都有一种孤立感。他们想让人们正确地理解他们的孩子。因此，他们需要能够提供帮助的人，以及能够以值得信赖的方式咨询他们的人。他们也希望自己的孩子能够得到适当的教育，能够适应社会。最后，我们发现他们所焦虑的正是支持系统所缺乏的东西。我们认为未来有必要根据孩子的年龄和障碍类型来审查支持方式。

The purpose of this research was to clarify the anxiety which parents of children with slight developmental disorders feel. Also, the idea was to begin creating a support system so that parents can develop appropriate child care attitudes.After this research was approved by the Tottori University Ethics Committee, we selected mothers of children with developmental disorders who had consulted doctors at the Child Neurology Department at Tottori University. Some of the mothers consented to participating in this research so we interviewed 10 of them. It was found that mothers were affected by the following items as a result of the interview :1.No one understands my child or his/her disorder ;2.Many people heap prejudice on children with disorders.In this way, it was made clear that these mothers were aware of a sense of isolation in the family, at school and in the neighborhood. They want to have people understand their children correctly. So, they need people who can help and who can be consulted in a trustworthy way. They also hoped that their children could get appropriate education and to become able to adapt to society. Finally, it was found that what they were anxious about were exactly the same things which the support system lacks.We think that it is necessary to review the way of support by a child's age and the type of disorder in the future.
