Importance: High stress and compromised mental health are well-documented among mothers of children with disabilities, but less is known about the factors that influence their participation and well-being, especially among Chinese mothers. Identifying these factors could lead to strategies to mitigate potential risks to maternal well-being.
Objective: To explore the relationships among participation in health-promoting activities, perceived stigma, perceived support, and well-being of ethnic Chinese mothers who have children with disabilities.
Importance: The Health Promoting Activities Scale (HPAS) measures the frequency of participation in health-promoting activities of mothers of children with disabilities. Translation of the HPAS into Chinese and validation of the Chinese version will enable its use with Chinese-speaking mothers of children with disabilities.
Objective: To translate the HPAS into Chinese and assess its construct validity in relation to measures of well-being, mental health, and activity satisfaction.
