Abstract

The term social support refers to people’s interpersonal relationships and is a potentially powerful mediator for caregivers’ life satisfaction. This study examined the relationships between parental caregiver burden, depression, social support, and life satisfaction. It compared these relation variables between parents of preschool- and school-age children, as mediator effects of social support may differ across age ranges. Data were used from the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Korea’s research on support services and policies for people with brain lesions. Parental caregivers of preschool- (n = 93) and school-age (n = 91) children participated in this study. A multigroup analysis indicated a significant negative relationship between caregiving burden and depression with social support and parental life satisfaction and a significant positive relation for social support with life satisfaction for the overall group, preschool- and school age. Social support was a mediator for each group; however, the regression weight differed between preschool- and school-age children’s parents. The study confirms the importance of caregivers’ social support and suggests a need for family support strategies that account for children’s ages.

父母照顾负担、抑郁、社会支持与生活满意度:幼儿脑损伤父母社会支持的多组分析

社会支持一词是指人们的人际关系，是一个潜在的强大的中介照顾者的生活满意度。本研究探讨了父母照顾者负担、抑郁、社会支持和生活满意度之间的关系。本研究比较了学龄前和学龄儿童父母之间的这些关系变量，因为社会支持的中介效应可能在不同的年龄范围内有所不同。数据来自韩国保健福利部关于脑损伤患者支持服务和政策的研究。学龄前儿童(n = 93)和学龄儿童(n = 91)的父母照顾者参与了本研究。多组分析显示，照顾负担和抑郁与社会支持和父母生活满意度呈显著负相关，而社会支持与整体群体、学龄前和学龄儿童的生活满意度呈显著正相关。社会支持是各群体的中介;然而，回归权重在学龄前和学龄儿童的父母之间存在差异。该研究证实了照顾者社会支持的重要性，并建议需要考虑到儿童年龄的家庭支持策略。
