With the improvement of current medicine the number of the chronicly ill children are increasing. The illness of the child drives all of the family to despair. especially it is a burden on the mother who takes care of the ill child.
She´s faced with many emergencies and feels powerless. The home care for a child is for finding a child´s problems early and mediating them. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mother´s reaction following their chronicly ill child´s discharge and to investigate the supporting needs for caring for an ill child.
The subjects of this study were mothers with a chronicly ill child being discharged from a general hospital in Seoul and the data was collected from July 20 to September 30.
Data was collected by using questionnaires which were developed by the researcher. (The questionnaires were composed of the average 5 points- Likert´s method). The Mother s reaction means that the higher the score. the mole negative the mother´s thoughts about discharge are. Supporting need for taring for iii an child means that the higher the score. higher the demand of nursing is.
