Abstract:

Objective To explore the family hardiness of caregivers of children with tic disorder. Methods A total of 167 caregivers of children with tic disorder were investigated with general information questionnaire,Yale Global Tic Severity Scale,Family Hardiness Index(FHI) and Parenting Stress Index Short Form(PSI-SF). Results The total score of Family Hardiness Index of caregivers was(40.14±5.89). The score of FHI was nega-tively correlated with the total score of PSI-SF(P<0.01). The results of multiple stepwise linear regression analysis showed that the parenting stress,the severity of disease and the education background of the main caregivers could predict the 57.4% variation of family hardiness. Conclusion The family hardiness of caregivers of children with tic disorder is at a low level. We should pay attention to the family hardiness as well as the disease itself. Through the guidance of disease knowledge and psychological guidance to children’s caregivers,we can reduce the level of parenting stress,provide a good family environment,and promote the recovery of children’s disease.
