OKUL ÖNCESİ DÖNEMDE ZİHİNSEL YETERSİZLİĞİ OLAN VE OLMAYAN ÇOCUKLARIN EBEVEYNLERİNDE EBEVEYN TUTUMLARININ KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI

Abstract

Giriş: Çocuğun sağlıklı olarak yetişmesi ve olumlu kişilik yapısı geliştirebilmesinde anne babanın çocuk yetiştirme tutumları büyük önem taşımaktadır. Olumlu çocuk yetiştirme tutumları, çocuğun ileride kendisine ve topluma faydalı bir birey olmasına katkı sağlar. Bu çalışmanın amacı zihinsel yetersizliği olan ve olmayan çocuğa sahip ebeveynlerin ebeveyn tutumlarını etkileyen etmenlerin belirlenmesi ve karşılaştırılmasıdır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı olarak planlanmıştır ve veriler 2-6 yaş aralığında çocuğu olan annelerden Ebeveyn Tutum Ölçeği aracılığıyla toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan annelerin %49.7’sinin çocuğunda zihinsel yetersizlik bulunmaktadır. Çocukların yaş ortalaması 4.53±1.27, annelerin yaş ortalaması 33.58±6.45 olarak bulunmuştur. Çocuğunda zihinsel yetersizlik bulunan ve bulunmayan annelerin ebeveyn tutumları karşılaştırıldığında, annelerin İzin Verici Tutum Alt Boyut puan ortalaması arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık olduğu görülmüştür.
Sonuç: Zihinsel yetersizliği olan çocuğa sahip ailelerin kronik stres yaşamaları; algılanan güçlük ve anksiyete düzeylerindeki artış ile baş etme problemleri aile içerisinde sorunlara neden olabilmekte ve aile yükünü arttırabilmektedir. Pediatri hemşiresinin ailenin sahip olduğu özelliklere bağlı olarak değişebilen farklı ebeveyn tutumlarını bilmesi, çocuğu ve ailesini değerlendirirken önem kazanacaktır.
