Abstract
Introduction: This study investigated the mental health status of caregivers of children with asthma and analyzed the associated influencing factors.
Method: We recruited 337 children with asthma and their caregivers. Student's t test, one-way analysis of variance, multiple linear regression, and Pearson's correlation analysis were used to analyze the factors influencing mental health.
Results: Caregivers' mental health scores were 2.52 ± 2.33. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference (p < .05) in the comparison of psychological health scores among caregivers based on various factors, including their relationship with their children, occupation, degree of education, family structure, parenting styles, mean daily care time, degree of work affected, home residence, and monthly family income.
Discussion: Caregivers of children with asthma exhibited notable levels of mental well-being, albeit accompanied by concurrent experiences of anxiety and depression. In addition to their primary responsibilities of treating and caring for children, medical professionals should prioritize the mental health of caregivers and promptly offer appropriate guidance and support.
