Abstract:

To explore and identify risk factors associated with stress and uncertainty among Taiwanese parents of children with tracheobronchial malacia (TBM) and tracheabronchostenosis (TBS) in a pediatric intensive care unit. An increasing number of children are undergoing flexible bronchoscopy due to tracheobronchial malacia and stenosis but there is little research related to their parentsâ stress and uncertainty. A cross-sectional study design was implemented using two psychometric scales; Parenting Stress Index and Parentsâ Perception of Uncertainty Scale. Parents of Taiwanese children (0â18y/o) with a diagnosis of TBM or/and TBS who underwent bronchoscopy in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) were recruited. Analysis used descriptive statistics and multivariable linear regression (GEE).
