abstract: 'Objective. This study examines 1) the way that children with chronic
|
||||
|
||||
conditions are cared for at home and assisted by technology affects
|
||||
|
||||
maternal employment and child care; 2) the social and clinical factors
|
||||
|
||||
associated with the decision of a mother to quit employment to care for
|
||||
|
||||
a child at home; and 3) the way in which care at home and the decision
|
||||
|
||||
of a mother to quit a job affects maternal mental health.
|
||||
|
||||
Design. The 6-month postdischarge status of 70 mothers of children
|
||||
|
||||
assisted by technology (study group) was compared with the 6-month
|
||||
|
||||
postdischarge status of 58 mothers of children (matched for age and
|
||||
|
||||
gender) hospitalized for acute illnesses (comparison group). Between
|
||||
|
||||
January and December 1993, we gathered information on sociodemographic
|
||||
|
||||
status, employment status and changes in employment, severity of the
|
||||
|
||||
child''s condition, child care and nursing services at home, family
|
||||
|
||||
support, and maternal mental health.
|
||||
|
||||
Results. One third of mothers in the study group reported that they quit
|
||||
|
||||
employment to take fare of a child at home with only 37.1\% remaining
|
||||
|
||||
employed outside the home, compared with 69.0\% of comparison group
|
||||
|
||||
mothers. Single caretakers were 15 times more likely to quit employment
|
||||
|
||||
compared with mothers in two-parent families. Availability of child care
|
||||
|
||||
had an independent effect on a mother''s decision to quit a job, whereas
|
||||
|
||||
the severity of the child''s condition did not. Child care hours were
|
||||
|
||||
significantly lower in study group families and were provided mostly by
|
||||
|
||||
relatives compared with daycare facilities and regular babysitters in
|
||||
|
||||
comparison families. Family support was highest among employed mothers
|
||||
|
||||
in both the study and the comparison groups and lowest in study group
|
||||
|
||||
mothers who were neither employed currently nor before the child''s
|
||||
|
||||
illness or who had quit employment to care for the child. Family income
|
||||
|
||||
was significantly lower in families with a child assisted by technology.
|
||||
|
||||
Families in the study group had 20-fold higher uncompensated health care
|
||||
|
||||
costs than did the comparison group. Mothers caring for a child assisted
|
||||
|
||||
by technology reported less good mental health than did comparison group
|
||||
|
||||
mothers, and employment seems to mediate this relationship.
|
||||
|
||||
Conclusions. Caring for a child assisted by technology seems to create
|
||||
|
||||
barriers to maternal employment diminishing family resources at a time
|
||||
|
||||
when financial needs actually may increase. Lack of family support and
|
||||
|
||||
child care services increase the likelihood that mothers of children
|
||||
|
||||
assisted by technology will stay out of the labor force. Remaining
|
||||
|
||||
employed buffers the negative effects of care at home on maternal mental
|
||||
|
||||
health. Health policies for children with chronic health problems should
|
||||
|
||||
address issues of financial burdens and the labor force participation of
|
||||
|
||||
their caretakers.'
