Family Quality of Life for Rehabilitated Individuals: Evidence Based on Demographic, Psychological, and Rehabilitation Factors

Abstract

Objectives: This study explores the effects of demographic, psychological, and rehabilitation factors on rehabilitated individuals’ family quality of life (FQoL). Methods: Fifty-one rehabilitation patients were conveniently sampled in mainland China to complete a demographic sheet, the Psychological Stress Questionnaire, the MSPSS-C Scale, and the Grit Scale. Mean comparison, ANOVA, and regression were used to test the relationships among variables. Results: Occupation and income were demographic factors slightly affecting FQoL. Middle-class participants had the highest FQoL and felt better about family interactions, parenting style, and physical and mental health. Psychological distress, two dimensions of risk perception, and physical and mental responses were psychological factors closely related to their recognition of their FQoL; family support impacted their recognition of the FQoL more directly than friends’ support; and individuals with more perseverance had higher recognition of the FQoL. Rehabilitation factors and treatment methods, duration, and satisfaction impacted family life treatment to varying degrees. Conclusion: During rehabilitation, attention should be paid to the rehabilitation patients’ families, psychological factors, and treatment preferences. More reasonable and flexible rehabilitation programs should be provided.
