Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of mother’s social support on children with congenital heart disease and mother-child interaction on children’s problem behavior.
Methods: The data was collected from the outpatient clinic of cardiac disease at the Samsung Medical Center. 250 children with congenital heart disease, aged 4-6 years old, and their mothers were recruited for the study. The home environment, activities and cognitive stimulation questionnaire for mother-child interaction, social support and Korea-child behavior checklist were assessed and analyzed using Pearson’s correlations, stepwise multiple regressions in SPSS 22.0
Results: There were significant relationships found between age, education of mother’s demographic background, mother social support, mother-child interaction, and children’s problem behavior. Furthermore, the mother’s demographic background and mother social support indicated effective variance on mother-child interaction. Lastly, friends and colleagues of the mother and mother-child interaction were emphasized on effective variances on child problem behavior.
Conclusion : This study suggests that the mother’s social support system and environment has significant implications and should be further examined to better reduce and prevent problem behaviors in children.
