abstract: 'Background
|
|
|
|
Families of children with disabilities experience extra financial
|
|
|
|
strains, and mothers are frequently unable to participate in paid work
|
|
|
|
because of caregiving obligations.
|
|
|
|
Methods
|
|
|
|
A mailed survey and follow-up phone calls were used to gather data about
|
|
|
|
mother''s health, workforce participation and barriers to inclusion in
|
|
|
|
the workplace (n = 152). Verbatim reports of issues that hindered
|
|
|
|
workforce participation were analysed qualitatively to derive themes.
|
|
|
|
Maternal health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was measured using the
|
|
|
|
Short Form Health Survey Version 2 (SF-36v2). Norm-based conversions
|
|
|
|
were used to compare HRQoL between working and non-working mothers and
|
|
|
|
to compare to population norms.
|
|
|
|
Results
|
|
|
|
Eighty-two per cent of mothers in the sample wanted and needed to work
|
|
|
|
for pay but indicated over 300 issues that prevent their work
|
|
|
|
participation. Data analysis revealed 26 common issues which prevent
|
|
|
|
work participation. These issues fit into three main categories:
|
|
|
|
mother-related reasons (28\%), child-related reasons (29\%) and service
|
|
|
|
limitations (43\%). Mothers who worked (n = 83) reported significantly
|
|
|
|
better HRQoL than mothers who did not work (n = 69) on five of the eight
|
|
|
|
SF-36v2 dimensions and overall mental health.
|
|
|
|
Conclusions
|
|
|
|
Compared to other working Australians, mothers in this study had higher
|
|
|
|
education yet reported poorer health, lower family income and lower
|
|
|
|
workforce participation. Respondents reported that service system
|
|
|
|
limitations were the main barriers to participation in the paid
|
|
|
|
workforce. Investigation of service changes such as increased respite
|
|
|
|
care, availability of outside hours school care, improved professional
|
|
|
|
competency and family-centred services is recommended in order to
|
|
|
|
improve maternal participation in paid work.'
