| Summary: | 碩士 === 中臺科技大學 === 健康產業管理研究所 === 99 === This research assumed the children with developmental delay would depend on chronical care and therefore their primary caregiver would has less quality of life. By means of questionaire and interview, 62 caregivers of delayed children and 61 of healthy children were examined for the qualitative of life. Suprizingly, two groups were found no statistical difference with each other, which means quality of life of the primary caregiver with delayed child is not lower or higher than with normal child. We conclude the ''commitment principle'' in which the primary caregiver of the child with developmental retardation has developed stronger endurance to adjust the pressures of his or her life. Following the finding, this study suggests that clinicians should pay attention to the psychological dimension of primary caregivers with delayed child and encourage the positive retreat of their life.
