Sense of Coherence and Psychological Well-Being in Mothers with Special Needs Children: The Mediating Role of Optimism

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the mediator effect of optimism in the relationship between the sense of coherence and psychological well-being (positive emotions, attachment, positive relationships, meaning and success) of mothers with special needs children. 109 mothers with physically disabled children (N = 28), Down syndrome (n = 12), autism (n = 29) and intellectual disabilities (N = 40) participated in the study. Individual sense of coherence scale, Life Orientation Test and PERMA scale were used as data collection tools in the research. To examine relationships between variables, Pearson product-moment correlation analysis and Preacher and Hayes ' (2008) mediation in accordance with the recommendations of analyses conducted to examine the significance of indirect effects and confidence intervals by bootstrap bootstrap 5000 coefficients were determined. Research results show that optimism has a mediator effect in the relationship between the sense of coherence and psychological well-being (positive emotions, attachment, success) of mothers with special needs children.

Özel Gereksinimli Çocuğu Olan Annelerde Bütünlük Duygusu ve Psikolojik İyi Oluş: İyimserliğin Aracı Rolü

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, özel gereksinimli çocuğu olan annelerin bütünlük duygusu ve psikolojik iyi oluşları (olumlu duygular, bağlanma, olumlu ilişkiler, anlam ve başarı) arasındaki ilişkide iyimserliğin aracı etkisini incelemektir. Araştırmaya bedensel engelli (n = 28), Down sendromlu (n = 12), otizmli (n = 29) ve zihinsel engelli (n = 40) çocuğu olan 109 anne katılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama araçları olarak Bireysel Bütünlük Duygusu Ölçeği, Yaşam Yönelimi Testi ve PERMA ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Değişkenler arası ilişkileri incelemek için Pearson Çarpım Momentler Korelasyon analizi ve Preacher ve Hayes'in (2008) önerileri doğrultusunda aracılık analizleri gerçekleştirilmiş, dolaylı etkilerin anlamlılığını incelemek için 5000 bootstrap yapılarak bootstrap katsayısı ve güven aralıkları belirlenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları, özel gereksinimli çocuğu olan annelerin bütünlük duygusu ve psikolojik iyi oluşları (olumlu duygular, bağlanma, başarı) arasındaki ilişkide iyimserliğin aracı etkisinin olduğunu göstermektedir.
