Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate and analyze the relationship between relocation stress, family function and coping strategy in parents of children transferred from Intensive Care Unit (ICU) .
MethodsUsing the method of cross-sectional study, the parents of children transferred from ICU to general ward in Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from October 2018 to March 2019 were selected as the subjects of study by convenience sampling. General Information Questionnaire, Family Relocation Stress Scale (FRSS) , Feetham Family Functioning Survey (FFFS) , and the Coping Health Inventory for Parents (CHIP) were used to evaluate the relocation stress level and analyze the relationship between scores of FRSS, FFFS, and CHIP. A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed and 179 valid ones were retrieved, yielding an effective recovery rate of 89.5%.
ResultsThe total score of FRSS of the 179 ICU-transferred children's parents was (34.52±8.46) , which was in a high level of stress; the total average score of FFFS was (1.27±1.14) ; the total score of "coping style use frequency" was (144.57±13.57) in CHIP, and the total score of "coping style effect" was (78.20±14.83) ; correlation analysis showed that each dimension and total score of FFFS was negatively correlated with the level of relocation stress of parents (P<0.05) , and positively correlated with the "frequency and role of coping styles" (P<0.05) .
ConclusionsThe relocation stress of ICU-transferred children's parents is serious. Family function and coping style are closely related to the level of relocation stress. Medical staff should pay attention to the adaptation of families in the process of transfer, encourage parents to adopt more positive ways to cope with diseases and improve the overall health of children and families.
