Research has demonstrated that caring for children with special health care needs (SHCN) affects parental health and well-being. The current study examines effects of community resources on physical and mental health of mothers and fathers caring for a child with SHCN. Analysis of the 2016 National Survey of Children’s Health found that fathers rated their physical and mental health higher than mothers. Greater neighborhood safety and fewer days missed school were significant community resources for both mothers’ and fathers’ physical and mental health. Health care resources were only significant predictors for mothers’ health but not for fathers’. The analysis found significant moderating relationships between days missed school and child symptomology and days missed school and maternal employment on mothers’ mental health. The importance of economic security and community resources for parental health when caring for a child with special health care needs is discussed, and practice and policy implications are developed.

照顾有特殊保健需要的儿童的父母的身心健康:社区资源的影响

研究表明,照顾有特殊医疗保健需求的儿童 (SHCN) 会影响父母的健康和福祉。目前的研究调查了社区资源对照顾患有 SHCN 儿童的父母的身心健康的影响。2016年全国儿童健康调查分析发现,父亲对自己身心健康的评价高于母亲。更好的社区安全和更少的缺课天数是父母身心健康的重要社区资源。卫生保健资源只是母亲健康的重要预测因素,而对父亲的健康没有影响。分析发现,缺课天数和儿童症状与缺课天数和母亲就业对母亲心理健康之间存在显着的调节关系。
