How family members’ perceptions of their own health affect their vulnerable children has not been previously explored.

Methods: The participants of the study were 286 from three cross-sectional studies from a southern medical hospital in Taiwan. Results: This manuscript investigated the relationship between families’ perception of health and support in the care of vulnerable children with DMD/SMA, ADHD, or TS/KS. By using multiple comparison, correlation and regression analysis, the authors reported that Duke Health Profile was significantly correlated with family support. Additionally, social health, age, marital status, and vulnerable status as predictors accounted for 35.3% of the variance in family support. Discussion: Data suggest the efficacy to care for families of children as show in the DMD/SMA group, compared to ADHD and chromosome abnormality groups. The authors indicate that family support is critical in the care of vulnerable children. This study did provide some new information in the related field.
