Abstract:
Objective:To explore the benefit finding and influencing factors of primary caregivers of children with cerebral palsy.Methods:This study adopted the method of random sampling, 158 primary caregivers of children with cerebral palsy in the outpatient and inpatient wards of the Children′s Rehabilitation Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from November 2020 to January 2021 were selected as the research objects. The basic data questionnaire, Chinese version of benefit finding scale, simple coping style questionnaire and perceived social support scale were used to do investigation. The influencing factors of benefit finding of main caregivers of children with cerebral palsy were investigated by single factor analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.Results:The score of benefit finding of the main caregivers of children with cerebral palsy was (62.4±7.0),which was above the middle level. The years of diagnosis, the payment method of medical expenses, the place of residence and the length of caring for children had a significant impact on the benefit finding of the main caregivers of children with cerebral palsy ( F=3.45, 3.75, 3.97, 6.60, all P<0.05). The main caregivers′ sense of benefit finding was positively correlated with positive coping style, family support, friend support, others′ support and perceived social support ( r=0.43, 0.20, 0.32, 0.24, 0.30, all P<0.05), and negatively correlated with negative coping style ( r=-0.36, P<0.01).The importance of those factors influencing the benefit finding of the main caregivers of children with cerebral palsy was as follows: positive coping style, place of residence and length of caring for children (standardized regression coefficients were 0.33, 0.22, -0.32, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The main caregivers of children with cerebral palsy have a good sense of benefit finding. The main factors affecting the benefit finding of the main caregivers are the children′s residence, the length of care and coping style.
