ABSTRACT

This study carried out a survey targeting 634 primary caregivers of children with disabilities whose age under 18 in Hwasung city. The current study includes two areas; the nurturing stress & social supports as well as the status of parent education. The main purpose of the current study was to investigate those two areas and obtain information for providing community services for families of children with disabilities. The finding revealed that the primary caregivers have relatively high stress coming from nurturing children with disabilities. In addition, social supports they get were lower than the mean value. Moreover, only 33.4% of all were able to get chances of parent education. Among the themes of education they want for nurturing their children, the theme about behavioral intervention was the top. Finally, the suggestions for supporting families of children with disabilities in the community were discussed.
