By Hong W, Zhou H, Ying Y and 2 others.
Abstract
Aim
To examine associations among social support, resilience and caregiving burden and whether the data were consistent with an indirect association through resilience among parents of children with fractures.
Design
A cross-sectional analytical study.
Methods
We surveyed 233 parents of children with fractures at a tertiary orthopaedic specialty hospital in Ningbo, China. Social support, resilience and caregiving burden were assessed with the Social Support Rating Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Zarit Burden Interview. Pearson correlations and latent-variable structural equation modelling were used, with nonparametric bootstrap assessment of indirect effects.
