Abstract

In this study, the effect of quantity and quality of social support and problem-focused coping style on mothers' resilience was examined by conducting a structural equation modeling. The sample of the research consisted of 257 mothers of children with intellectual disability, and 234 mothers of typically-developing children. The data were gathered through the Mother Resiliency Scale, the Coping Style Scale, and the Revised Parental Social Support Scale. Path analysis with latent variables was conducted to investigate the relationship between the constructs after testing the measurement models. Both groups of mothers confirmed the model showing that quantity and quality of the social support affected the problem-focused coping in a positive and moderate way and affects the resiliency in a low but positive direction. Also, the problem-focused coping style influenced resiliency in a high and positive way.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, sosyal desteğin niceliği ve niteliği ile problem odaklı başa çıkma değişkenlerinin annelerde yılmazlığı etkileme dereceleri yapısal eşitlik modeli kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Araştırma grubu, zihinsel engelli çocuğu olan 257 anne ile engelli çocuğu olmayan 234 anneden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada veriler "Anne Yılmazlık Ölçeği", "Stresle Başa Çıkma Tarzları Ölçeği" ve "Yenilenmiş Anne-Baba Sosyal Destek Ölçeği" ile toplanmıştır. Ölçme modelleri tarafından doğrulanan yapılar arasındaki ilişkiler örtük değişkenlerle yol analizi kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Doğrulanan modele göre her iki grup annede sosyal desteğin niceliği ve niteliği, problem odaklı başa çıkmayı olumlu yönde ve orta düzeyde, yılmazlığı ise düşük de olsa olumlu yönde; problem odaklı başa çıkma ise yılmazlığı olumlu yönde ve yüksek düzeyde etkilemiştir.
