The Effect of Parent’s Family Life Quality Levels on Children’s Parent-Child Relationship in Children with Developmental Disability
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of quality of family life on parent-child relationship.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The sample of this study was consisted of 382 parents with 48-72 months old children with developmental deficiency who continues to receive support from special education services for at least one year. Relational scanning method, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the study. In the study, "Family Information Form" was used to get demographic information of parents and their children, "Beach Center Family Quality of Life Scale (BCFQLS)" to determine parents 'quality of family life, and "Child-Parent Relationship Scale (CPRS)" to determine parents' child relationship.
Findings: In the study, it was indicated that as the quality of family life levels of the parents of children with developmental deficiencies decrease, parent-child relationships were affected negatively. In addition, it was found that the education levels of the parents and the state of providing self-care of the child without support differ significantly in both the child-parent relationship and the quality of family life level.
Highlights: Many factors affect the quality of family life of parents. One of these factors is that the parents have children with developmental disabilities. If the necessary financial and moral support is provided to these parents, the quality of family life of the parents will be positively affected.
