Impact on the family of children who are technology dependent and cared for in the home.
PURPOSE: To compare the impact on family of four categories of technology-dependent children. METHOD: A purposive sample of families receiving both public and private services in 13 cities representing census regions included 848 primary caregivers of technology-dependent children ages 3 months to 19 years being cared for at home. A structured telephone interview was used. FINDINGS: A significant difference among the four types of technology dependency for impact on the family was found (MANOVA F test = 9.43; p = 0.0001). One-way ANOVA F tests showed that the means among the four groups varied on the subscale: financial burden, family social impact, and personal strains. CONCLUSION: The findings have implications for nurses who provide support and assistance to families with technology-dependent children.
