ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the status of uncertainty in illness and its influencing factors among parents of children with Kawasaki disease complicated by coronary artery aneurysm.@*Methods@#A total of 102 parents of children with Kawasaki disease complicated by coronary artery aneurysms were investigated by General Information Questionnaire, Parent's Perception of Uncertainty Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.@*Results@#The total sore of Parent′s Perception of Uncertainty Scale was (91.02 ± 13.14) points; that of anxiety was (14.35 ± 3.93) points; while that of depression was (13.81 ± 3.92) points. The uncertainty in illness among parents was influenced by coronary artery aneurysm grading, source of medical expenses, education level, understanding of the disease, average family income (F=2.535-8.740, all P<0.05), relationship with the child, work status (t =2.057, -2.489, P<0.05). Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that depression, understanding of the disease, source of medical expenses had a significant impact on the illness uncertainty of parents (F=13.695, P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#The uncertainty in illness among parents of children with Kawasaki disease complicated by coronary artery aneurysm had a higher level. The doctors and nurses should pay attention to the effect of uncertainty in illness on the parents of children and take targeted intervention measures to help parents reduce uncertainty in illness, thereby improving the quality of life.
