Objective: To investigate the current status and influencing factors of parental perceptions of child vulnerability among parents of children with Global Developmental Delay(GDD), and to provide a scientific basis for developing targeted interventions. Methods: Using a convenience sampling method, 179 parents of GDD children hospitalized in the Department of Rehabilitation from May to December 2024 were selected as participants. They were assessed using Child Vulnerability Scale(CVS), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire(SCSQ), and Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS). Independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the levels of parental perceptions of child vulnerability. Multivariate linear regression analysis was employed to identify the influencing factors. Results: The total score of parental perceptions of child vulnerability among parents of GDD children was 10.97±5.36, with 56.98% of parents exhibiting a high level of perceived vulnerability. Univariate analysis identified the child's age(in months), being an only child, duration of illness, parental age, and total monthly family income as significant factors influencing perceived vulnerability(P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between negative coping style and perceived vulnerability(r=0.179, P<0.05), and a negative correlation between family support and perceived vulnerability(r=-0.207, P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis revealed that whether the child was an only child, the duration of illness, and the total monthly family income were significant independent predictors of parental perceived vulnerability(P<0.05), with the model explaining 61.2% of the total variance(adjusted R2=0.612). Conclusion: Parents of GDD children generally experience a high level of perceived vulnerability. Healthcare professionals should prioritize parents of only children, those with a shorter illness duration(<1 year), and those from low-to-middle-income families. Interventions aimed at training positive coping strategies and strengthening social support systems should be implemented to effectively alleviate parental perceived vulnerability. |
