简要总结
This study aims to investigate the relationships between pain intensity, caregiver burden, and quality of life in mothers of children with disabilities. Pain intensity, caregiver burden, and physical and mental quality of life will be evaluated using validated outcome measures. The study also aims to determine independent factors associated with quality of life in caregivers.
详细描述
Mothers of children with disabilities are exposed to substantial physical and psychological demands due to long-term caregiving responsibilities. These challenges may negatively affect pain levels, caregiver burden, and quality of life. However, the relationships between these factors have not been sufficiently investigated.
This cross-sectional observational study aims to examine the associations between pain intensity, caregiver burden, and quality of life in mothers of children with disabilities. Pain intensity will be assessed using the Numeric Pain Scale (NPS), caregiver burden using the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale, and quality of life using the Short Form-12 (SF-12), including physical and mental component scores. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analyses will be performed to determine the relationships between variables and identify independent determinants of quality of life.

结局指标
主要结局
Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale
时间窗: baseline
The Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale is a self-reported questionnaire used to evaluate the level of burden experienced by caregivers. Higher scores indicate greater caregiver burden.
Numeric Pain Scale (NPS)
时间窗: baseline
The Numeric Pain Scale is an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain) used to assess pain intensity.
Short Form-12 (SF-12)
时间窗: baseline
The SF-12 is a validated health-related quality of life questionnaire consisting of physical and mental component scores. Higher scores indicate better quality of life.
