The aim of the study is to analyse the sense of coherence (SOC) and strategies of coping with stress in fathers of disabled children. The research involved 128 fathers of children with Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy and children with normal development. Two questionnaires were used: The Sense of Coherence Questionnaire (SOC-29) measuring SOC level and Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ) measuring strategies of coping with stress. The research revealed that there is a relationship between the type of child's developmental disability and SOC in fathers. The fathers with a low level of SOC more frequently used strategies of avoidance while the fathers with a high level of SOC more frequently used confrontation, positive reappraisal and planful problem solving. The results of the research indicate that looking after a disabled child may lower SOC and in turn may cause difficulties in coping with stress.

The increasing number of children born to unmarried mothers represents one of the most significant demographic trends in the developed countries. For a long time, Slovakia has been one of the places where fertility and childbearing have been closely linked to married life. However, over the past few decades, this connection has been gradually weakening, and Slovakia has been approaching the group of countries with a relatively intensive increase in the number of children born out of wedlock. Since the beginning of the 1990s, the percentage of children born out of wedlock in Slovakia has quadrupled, and currently stands at 40 %. Demographic research on this phenomenon understandably focuses on mothers. But what do we know about the fathers of children born this way? The Slovak Statistical Office has been tracking data on fathers of children born out of wedlock since 2011. Although this is a relatively short period of time in terms of demographic changes, this information makes it possible to complete the demographic characteristics of both parents and thus contributes to enriching the analysis of out-of-wedlock birth rates.
