Abstract

Objective/Background

The objective of the study was to examine the association between socio-economic status (SES), marital satisfaction, and subtypes of pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) with quality of life (QOL) in mothers of children with PDDs.

Methods

The study was conducted using a convenience sample of 210 mothers of children with PDDs. Data were collected using the World Health Organization QOL-BREF, Index of Marital Satisfaction, and SES Questionnaires. Data analysis was done by analysis of variance and multivariate analysis of variance tests.

Results

The findings of the study showed that SES is associated strongly with the environmental domain (p < .001, r² = .421), marital satisfaction with the social domain (p < .001, r² = .394), and PDDs' subtype with the psychological domain (p < .001, r² = .283). Mothers of children with autistic disorder subtype reported lower QOL in all domains compared with other subtypes (p < .05).

Conclusion

The determinants such as SES, marital satisfaction, and subtypes of PDDs have an important influence on QOL of mothers of children with PDDs. Further investigation in this regard is warranted.

伊朗广泛性发育障碍儿童母亲的生活质量决定因素调查

目的/背景本研究的目的是探讨社会经济地位(SES)、婚姻满意度和广泛性发育障碍(pdd)亚型与pdd患儿母亲生活质量(QOL)之间的关系。方法采用210名pdd患儿母亲作为方便样本进行研究。数据采用世界卫生组织QOL-BREF、婚姻满意度指数和SES问卷收集。数据分析采用方差分析和多变量方差分析检验。结果研究结果表明，SES与环境领域密切相关(p <.001, r2 = .421)，婚姻满意度与社会领域(p <.001, r2 = .394)， pdd亚型与心理域相关(p <.001, r2 = .283)。与其他亚型相比，患有自闭症亚型儿童的母亲在所有领域的生活质量都较低(p <. 05)。结论社会经济地位、婚姻满意度、pdd亚型等因素对pdd患儿母亲的生活质量有重要影响。这方面的进一步调查是必要的。
