Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore hope as a mediator in the relationship between self-compassion and resilience in parents of children with special needs. Participants of the study were 120 parents (95 females, 25 males). The preliminary results showed that resilience scores of the participants don’t vary as a function of gender, income, education level and age. The results of the path analysis yielded that the model fit indices of the proposed model are perfect (χ2/df=.03, p.001; RMSEA= .00; CFI=1 .00; TLI= 1.00; GFI=.99). Examination of the relationships between the variables yielded that there are significantly positive connections between self-compassion and hope and also between hope and resilience. The model was found to explain a 5% variance in hope scores and 16% variance in resilience scores of parents of children with special needs. These results were discussed in line with the relevant literature as well as possible interventions for cultivation of resilience in these parents.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, özel gereksinimli çocukların ebeveynlerinde öz-şefkat ve psikolojik sağlamlık arasındaki ilişkide umudun aracı rolünü incelemektir. Çalışmanın katılımcıları 120 ebeveynden (95 kadın, 25 erkek) oluşmaktadır. Yapılan ön analizler psikolojik sağlamlığın cinsiyet, gelir, eğitim düzeyi ve yaşa göre anlamlı düzeyde farklılaşmadığını ortaya koymuştur. Yol analizi sonuçları, önerilen modelin model uyum indekslerinin mükemmel olduğunu göstermiştir (χ2 / df = .03, p .001; RMSEA = .00; CFI = 1.00; TLI = 1.00; GFI = .99). Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesi sonucunda, öz-şefkat ve umut arasında ve umut ile psikolojik sağlamlık arasında anlamlı derecede pozitif yönde ilişkiler olduğu bulunmuştur. Modelin özel gereksinimli çocukların ebeveynlerinin umut puanlarında %5 ve psikolojik sağlamlık puanlarında %16 düzeyinde bir varyans açıkladığı bulunmuştur. Bu sonuçlar, ilgili literatür ve bu ebeveynlerde psikolojik sağlamlığı geliştirmeye yönelik olası müdahaleler doğrultusunda tartışılmıştır.
