The quality of life of children with neurodevelopmental disorders and their parents during the Coronavirus disease 19 emergency in Japan
Abstract This study aimed to reveal how the COVID-19 stay-at-home period has affected the quality of life (QOL) of children with neurodevelopmental disorders and their parents and to identify possible factors that enabled them to maintain their QOL. We enrolled 136 school-aged children (intellectual...

We enrolled 136 school-aged children (intellectual quotient ≥ 50) and their parents and administered QOL questionnaires to assess the maladaptive behavior of the children; depression, anxiety, and stress of the parents; and activities of their daily lives. The relationship between their QOL and clinical features was examined. The decrease in QOL of children and parents was associated with the mother’s limited job flexibility. Decreased QOL was also associated with changes in the sleep rhythms of the children. Maladaptive behaviors in children were associated with parental stress. However, maintained QOL of some families who faced these same conditions of job stress and sleep disorders was associated with less parental stress, less parental depression and anxiety, and milder maladaptive behavior in children.

Low parental stress was associated with decreased maladaptive behavior in children and with maintained QOL of the family.Riyo UedaTakashi OkadaYosuke KitaYuri OzawaHisami InoueMutsuki ShiodaYoshimi KonoChika KonoYukiko NakamuraKaoru AmemiyaAi ItoNobuko SugiuraYuichiro MatsuokaChinami KaigaMasaya KubotaHiroshi OzawaNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 11, Iss 1, Pp 1-8 (2021) |
