Abstract

Objectives: Disability occurs as a sudden and unexpected incident, and coping with it dependson the conditions and lifestyle, the remaining abilities, cooperation of other family members, and the role of rehabilitation team. Rehabilitation work includes medical, professional andSocial rehabilitation teams. The family is also defined as an essential member of the socialrehabilitation team. The present study aimed to assess the quality of life of mothers of childrenwith intellectual disabilities, as an important member of the Social rehabilitation team. Methods: In this analytical and descriptive study, statistical population consisted of all Mothersof Mentally Retarded Children (MMRC) (educable, trainable and isolated), and Mothers ofChildren with Normal Intelligence (MCNI) in Shahr-e-Kord City, Iran. Total sample size wasconsidered to be 306. For gathering data, the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey instrument, validated in Iran, and for analyzing the data 1-way ANOVA, linear regression and discriminantanalysis were used. Results: In terms of all quality of life dimensions and total score, there was a significantdifference between the two groups (P<0. 001) and MCNI group scored higher compared toMMRC group. The greatest difference between the two groups was related to physical function(effect size=40. 7%), and the least was related to limitations in usual role activities because ofemotional problems (effect size=30. 9%). Discussion: Mothers are an important mediator in providing rehabilitation services (secondaryor tertiary prevention) to their children. Once their roles are neglected in the rehabilitationteam work, the secondary and tertiary prevention activities for the disabled child will not beeffective, and in the near future, mothers will be among the most vulnerable groups requiringrehabilitation services. Therefore, during the provision of secondary and tertiary preventionservices for children, mothers’ health status should also be monitored for the purpose ofprimary prevention.
