Özet

Home invasive mechanical ventilation (HIMV) has allowed children with chronic respiratory failure to be discharged from the hospital, giving them a chance to return to their home life which is more natural for children to grow up. Many technological tools necessary for their survival have also caused restrictions in the social lives of these children. Psychosocial problems will be inevitable in this group of patients, who often have to cope with more than one medical problem. Identifying the impact of HIMV on these problems will enable these children to have a better quality of life. While the most objective method used to determine the psychosocial status of these children is quality of life measurement, more studies are needed to determine the ideal questionnaire. This review deals with psychosocial problems on HIMV.
