Bilinçli Farkındalıklı Ebeveynlik Üzerine Bir Derleme Çalışması: Teori, Yöntem ve Çıktılar

Abstract

Bilişsel davranışçı yaklaşımın modern psikolojideki yükselişiyle birlikte bilinçli farkındalık kavramı önem kazanmıştır. Bilinçli farkındalık, bireyin deneyimlerine yargılayıcı olmayan ve kabul edici bir tutumla dikkat yöneltmesini ifade etmektedir. Ebeveyn-çocuk ilişkisi, bireyin gelişiminde temel bir bağlam oluşturduğundan, bu kavram bilinçli farkındalıklı ebeveynlik kapsamında ele alınmaktadır. Bu sistematik derlemenin amacı, 0-6 yaş arası çocuklarda görülen davranış problemleri ile bilinçli farkındalıklı ebeveynlik arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Bu kapsamda Google Akademik, PubMed, TR Dizin ve diğer veri tabanlarında gerçekleştirilen literatür taraması sonucunda PRISMA modeli doğrultusunda beş çalışma incelenmiştir. Bulgular, bilinçli farkındalıklı ebeveynliğin erken çocukluk döneminde içselleştirme ve dışsallaştırma davranış problemleriyle negatif yönde ilişkili olduğunu; ebeveyn stresi ve sosyoekonomik risk faktörlerinin ise bu ilişkide belirleyici rol oynadığını ortaya koymaktadır.

A Review Study on Mindful Parenting: Theory, Method, and Outcomes

Abstract

With the rise of the cognitive-behavioral approach in modern psychology, the concept of mindfulness has gained significant importance. Mindfulness refers to the practice of directing one's attention to experiences with a non-judgmental and accepting attitude. Since the parent-child relationship forms a fundamental context for an individual's development, this concept is addressed within the scope of mindful parenting. The purpose of this systematic review is to examine the relationship between behavioral problems in children aged 0-6 and mindful parenting. In this context, five studies were analyzed in line with the PRISMA model, following a literature search conducted across Google Scholar, PubMed, TR Index, and other databases. The findings reveal that mindful parenting is negatively correlated with internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems during early childhood; furthermore, parental stress and socioeconomic risk factors play a decisive role in this relationship.
