Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the status quo of decision-making fatigue of parents of critically ill children and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide a theoretical basis for reducing the degree of decision-making fatigue of parents of critically ill children.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, parents of 310 critically ill children who were treated in 3 Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Henan Province were selected as the research objects from April 2020 to April 2021. The General Information Questionnaire, the Chinese version of Decision-making Fatigue Scale, Self-Control Scale and the Chinese version of Willpower Belief Measurement Questionnaire were used to conduct a questionnaire survey. Univariate and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of decision-making fatigue in parents of critically ill children. A total of 310 questionnaires were distributed in this study and 302 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.42%.Results:The total score of decision-making fatigue of parents of 302 critically ill children was (9.13±1.73) , the total score of self-control was (53.41±7.29) and the total score of willpower belief was (22.67±3.64) . The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the relationship with the children, the length of ICU stay, the monthly family income, the presence or absence of sleep disorders, parental self-control and parental willpower beliefs were the influencing factors of decision-making fatigue in parents of critically ill children ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The decision-making fatigue level of parents of critically ill children is at a moderately low level, which is affected by a variety of factors. Medical workers should intervene according to specific circumstances to reduce the decision-making fatigue of parents of critically ill children and maximize the interests of the children.
