Resilience of families caring for a small child with recurring acute respiratory disease from the viewpoint of the mother

Original language description

Acute respiratory disease is one of the most common medical problems in small children. If they recur on a frequent basis, they can overburden the family, impair functionality and make it harder to cope with situations in the family. The aim of our research was to assess the resilience of families with a small child suffering from acute respiratory disease, in terms of hardiness and from the viewpoint of the mother. A total of 102 mothers completed two standardized questionnaires - Family APGAR and Family Hardiness Index (FHI) and answered questions relating to determinants that effect the functionality of the family. The Family APGAR questionnaire revealed 11 (i.e. 11 %) dysfunctional families and 20 (i.e. 20 %) families with a slightly impaired functionality. Dysfunctional families and families with slightly impaired functionality showed a far lower resilience than functional families. Although the results of the survey did not show any alarming impairment of resilience or functionality in our research sample, this issue must not be underestimated. An illness, particularly in the case of the youngest member of the family, may have a serious impact on the family as a whole. Thorough enlightenment and education relating to prevention and coping mechanisms have proven to be essential.
