Abstract

This research aim to identify the prevalence and factors associated with maternal stress among mothers of children with cerebral palsy in rural Bangladesh. A cross-sectional study was performed among 200 mothers of children with cerebral palsy picked up from rural Bangladesh using a simple random sampling technique. A questionnaire divided into various sections and administered by the researchers was used for data collection. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models were applied to summarize the respondents’ characteristics, main outcomes (maternal stress levels), and factors associated with maternal stress. The overall prevalence of maternal stress among mothers of children with CP was 56.5%, and the median (IQR) age of respondents was 30 (14), whereas that of the children with CP was 6 (8). Factors associated with a higher prevalence of maternal stress were older mothers, divorced/separated, living in a nuclear family, income, male children, and higher negative family impact (p < 0.05). The factors identified in this study could help to develop policies and strategies to minimize maternal stress associated with parenting children with cerebral palsy in rural Bangladeshi households.

孟加拉国农村脑瘫儿童母亲的患病率及与母亲压力相关的因素

本研究旨在确定孟加拉国农村脑瘫儿童母亲的患病率和与母亲压力相关的因素。采用简单的随机抽样技术，对200名患有脑瘫儿童的母亲进行了横断面研究。调查问卷分为不同的部分，由研究人员管理，用于数据收集。采用描述性统计和logistic回归模型对调查对象的特征、主要结局(产妇应激水平)以及与产妇应激相关的因素进行总结。患有CP的儿童的母亲的总体母亲压力患病率为56.5%，受访者的年龄中位数(IQR)为30(14)，而患有CP的儿童的年龄中位数(IQR)为6(8)。与母亲年龄较大、离婚/分居、生活在核心家庭、收入、男孩和较高的负面家庭影响相关的因素是母亲压力患病率较高的因素(p <0.05)。本研究确定的因素有助于制定政策和战略，以尽量减少孟加拉国农村家庭中与养育脑瘫儿童相关的母亲压力。
