Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the opinion of pregnant women on motherhood and related beliefs about the maternal instinct, vocation to a parenthood, marital obligation, the obligation of religious and social upbringing of children. Material and methods: Study was conducted on 200 pregnant women in the range between 20-44 years attending antenatal classes at the City Hospital in Białystok. The material was collected through an original questionnaire which consisted of 26 closed and semi-open questions. Results: Most respondents (84%) planned their pregnancy, 70% used various methods of contraception before getting pregnant. Among pregnant women under 30 years old 73% said that they planned their gestation, the number rises to 93% among women over 30 years old. Seventy-five women (60%) under 30 years said they did not use birth control methods. Conclusions: A significant percentage of respon-dents present different from widespread views on the maternal instinct, parenting, legalization of their relationship, and responsibility for raising a child, thanks to which they break stereotypes common in Poland. Attending childbirth classes reduces fear of labour, supports women psychologically and allows to find oneself in the new situation.

The aim of the research presented in this article was to determine the level of parental stress among mothers of autistic children. Thirty-nine mothers of autistic children, forty mothers of children with Down syndrome as well as forty mothers of children with developing normally took part in the study. We used the Questionnaire on Resources and Stress (QRS, designed by J. Holroyd) to assess the parental stress among families of developmentally delayed children or children with intellectual disabilities. The results of the study indicate that, comparing to mothers of children with Down syndrome and mothers of children developing well, mothers of autistic children are the ones who experience the highest level of parental stress. Potential sources of coping strategies among mothers of children that suffer from autism are associated with relatively low stress levels as a result of disharmony within the family, personal issues, the child’s health situation and financial problems.

Introduction and aim. Some applications are made to increase the breast milk. This study has been conducted to determine the complementary and alternative methods to increase the breast milk of mothers with a child in the age of 0 to 24 months. Material and methods. This study was conducted using the cross-sectional study design. The questionnaire included mothers’ socio-demographic characteristics, obstetric histories, breastfeeding, and practices to increase breast milk. Results. The mean age of the mothers was 29.75±5.97 years. 23.4% of the mothers stated that they did not continue breastfeeding; the mean duration of breastfeeding was 9.24±4.88 months. Mothers expressed to increase milk intake water/liquid food to increase (84.2%), frequently breastfed babies (43.3%), boiling greens to drink (34.6%), spiritual practices (12.8%). Mothers stated that the special drinks used to increase their milk were fennel (56.2%), instant milk enhancer (22.9%), and sage (8.9%). Mothers emphasized that the amount of water (85.1%) and sugar levels (50.0%) they consumed the most increased breast milk. Conclusion. It was determined that children could not have enough breast milk until the age of two; the mean duration of breastfeeding was low. Mothers believe that their breast milk is not enough for their children, so they apply milk-increasing practices.

Purpose: To determine the sleep quality and fatigue levels of mothers in the period of transition additional food. Materials and methods: It was a relation seeking descriptive study which contained 377 mothers who had sixth month babies. The datas of the study was collected in Samsun between June and December 2015 with "Personal Information Form", "Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire” and "Piper Fatigue Scale”. The statistical analysis of the data was made with using percentages, means, t test, ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis, Man Whitney U and correlation test. Results: It was found that the average age of mothers was 28.1±5.2 years, 44.8% of them high school graduated, 25.2% of them working outside, 78.8% of them lived in a nuclear family. It was determined 69.6% of the babies passed the additional food before sixth month, and 31.5% of them passed with baby formula. It was appointed that the 65.3% of mothers in period of transition additional food experienced sleep problems and 66.6% of them experienced fatigue. It was found a positive weak and significant correlation between the mothers Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire scores and and Piper Fatigue Scale scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was seen that in the period of transition additional food, the mothers experience problems about the passing time, first foods and feeding method and this situation causes insomnia and fatigue.

Purpose: Pregnancy of teenage girls is of high-risk. It requires special care and concern in the medical, socio-economic, legal, and psycho-pedagogical aspect. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of early motherhood, the course of pregnancy, labour, peurperium and newborn assessment. Material and methods: The research was conducted on 152 women giving birth and hospitalized in J. Śniadecki Provincial Hospital of Białystok in 2007-2008. One the characteristics' of the examined group was the highest percentage of unmarried women of all. Results: Teenage mothers did not examine pregnancy or reported to a doctor relatively late. Mostly registered complication was the risk of premature birth. Pregnancy among young women was ended in caesarean section more often than usually and infants were in worse clinical condition. Problems with breastfeeding and anaemia were also reported during the puerperium. Conclusions: Teenage pregnancies were not controlled or mothers reported to a doctor in the late stage of gestation. The most common complication was the risk of premature delivery. Teenage pregnancies, more than other, were ended in caesarean section.

The purpose of the research was to determine the relation between the quality of social support of mothers and the quality of communication with peers of the same sex. The whole study was based on assumptions that the kind and force of social support are the resilience factors in the relations of daughters with the peers of the same sex. Data was collected from a sample of 138 female pupils aged 15 and 16. Researcher employed: Scale of Social Support (SWS) and a sociometric questionnaire – Plebiscite Of Kindness and Reluctance by Korczak. The initial results of the research indicate that the quality of communication and kind of social support depend on communication with peers of the same sex.

The article is a discussion of Patrycja Dołowy’s book which contains conver-sations with Holocaust children, the survivors of Shoah. Its main theme are relations of Jewish children with their both “biological” and “foster” mothers. The topic is a complex one, for it relates to persons confronting the Holocaust trauma, their unstable, fractured identity, and more often than not, the lack of knowledge about one’s family fates and roots. The mother in those stories eludes a unifying, common, and typical definition. The cases described in the stories of Holocaust children undermine the simplifying socio-cultural constructs relating to mothers, liquefy the binary distinctions into “biol-ogical” and “foster”, Jewish and Polish; and transform the framework of speaking about motherhood and childhood.

Introduction and aim. The use of pacifier is a very common practice in the early childhood period in the world. In recent years, the harms of pacifiers have been discussed rather than their benefits. We aimed to determine the knowledge and behaviors of mothers with children aged 0-3 about the use of pacifiers. Material and methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 363 mothers between January 10th and November 31st, 2020 in Zonguldak, Turkey. The data were collected with a web-based questionnaire. This article was prepared following STROBE guidelines. Results. The mothers started using the pacifier for the first time when their children were at an average of 2.86±3.31 months old, and they used it for at an average of 12.06±9.13 months. Of the mothers, 36.4% were found to clean the pacifier every month and 30.6% to have the behavior of dipping the pacifier into a product such as sugar, honey, molasses, and jam. The mothers with undergraduate degrees had the behavior of cleaning pacifiers more than those with postgraduate degrees (p<0.001). Conclusion. Mothers preferred to give pacifiers to babies at a high rate and had misinformation about the use of pacifiers that may harm their children’s health.

This article examines how migration to Wales modifies Polish Catholic families’ religious practices. It focuses on how the First Communion ceremony is performed. Within the Polish migrant community I witnessed three distinct ways of arranging this. Some families travelled to Poland to their parish churches of origin. Of those who celebrated it in Wales, some did so in a Polish church, others in their children’s Catholic school’s church. These choices had different effects. Holding First Communion in Poland confirmed children’s Polish identity and home-country bonds. It exemplified both the fluidity of the families’ intra-European migration experience and the strength of transnational networking. Holding it in the local Polish parish reinforced both families’ and childrens’ identification as Polish Catholics. In the school’s church, it strengthened migrant families’ negotiations of belonging and their children’s integration into the Welsh locality. Mothers’ active involvement in all settings led some to contest Polish religious customs and revealed emerging identifications related to children’s wellbeing and belonging. Unlike arrangements traditional in Poland, families’ religious practices in Wales seem to have become more individual, less collective.

Starting from the myth, culture and society have always opposed the construction of a matriarchal line and a genealogy of women. The paper address the generational relationships between women, and focuses on three novel Italian Novecento women writers: Susanna Tamaro, Michela Murgia and Milena Agus. Tamaro, Murgia and Agus conform an atypical female genealogy in their novels, and propose new models of identity in opposition to the patriarchal system.

The article has an empirical character. The problem considered in it concerns the specificity of the process of raising a child with intellectual disability in the moderate degree. The research includes two own surveys directed to the children’s mothers, teachers and special teachers. 60 people took part in the research, including 30 mothers of children with intellectual disability in the moderate degree (children aged 6 to 14) and 30 teachers and special teachers working with children with intellectual disability in the moderate degree aged 6 to 14. The results of the research indicate the most commonly highlighted goals from the viewpoint of the mothers of children with intellectual disability in the moderate degree in case of their upbringing: self-reliance and eliminating difficult behaviour as well as socializing and communicating. The teachers, on the other hand, emphasised mainly the objectives connected with forming self-reliance and socializing. The children’s mothers declare that difficult behaviour of children is their main educational problem (among others obstinacy, aggression, rebellion), whereas children achieve the biggest success in self-service activities and self-management. All the examined teachers think that the school is both a place of bringing up and teaching students with intellectual disability in the moderate degree, therefore they combine educational contents with the ones associated with upbringing during classes.

Artykuł ma charakter empiryczny. Koncentruje się na uznaniu specyfiki procesu wychowywania dziecka z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną w stopniu umiarkowanym. Badanie opierało się na dwóch ankietach skierowanych do matek dzieci, ich nauczycieli oraz pedagogów specjalnych. W badaniu wzięło udział 60 osób, w tym 30 matek dzieci z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną w stopniu umiarkowanym (dzieci w wieku od 6 do 14 lat) i 30 nauczycieli oraz pedagogów specjalnych pracujących z dziećmi z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną w stopniu umiarkowanym w wieku od 6 do 14 lat. Wyniki badań wskazują najczęściej na wyznaczone cele z punktu widzenia matek dzieci z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną w stopniu umiarkowanym odnoszące się do wychowania: samodzielności i eliminowania trudnych zachowań, a także socjalizowania i komunikowania. Z kolei nauczyciele podkreślali przede wszystkim cele związane z formowaniem samodzielności i socjalizacji. Matki deklarują, iż trudne zachowanie dzieci jest ich głównym problemem edukacyjnym (m.in. upór, agresja, bunt), podczas gdy dzieci osiągają największe sukcesy w aktywności samoobsługowej. Wszyscy badani nauczyciele uważają, że szkoła jest miejscem zarówno wychowania, jak i nauczania uczniów z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną w stopniu umiarkowanym, dlatego w trakcie zajęć łączą treści edukacyjne z wychowawczymi.

Objectives It is generally accepted that maternal factors are important in maintaining the adequate nutritional status of young children. This study was aimed at verifying whether mother’s socio-demographic (age and relationship status) and socio-economic features (education and professional status) differentiate the child’s nutritional status. Material and Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted between April and October 2013. Five hundred thirty mothers of preschool children from 5 different regions of Poland were interviewed. Mothers were interviewed on their socio-demographic and socio-economic status. To assess the child’s nutritional status, body mass index (BMI) z-score and the diet indicators were calculated, such as the percentage of the estimated average requirement for energy (%EAR), the percentage of energy coming from carbohydrates (%EC), fat (%ET) and proteins (%EP). Percentage of the estimated average requirement for energy, %EC, %ET and %EP was obtained from 24-h dietary recalls conducted with the mothers. Results The results showed that mother’s education and professional status did not differentiate any of the indices of the child’s nutritional status. However, maternal age and her relationship status occurred significant (ANOVA; p < 0.05). Children of younger mothers had higher BMI z-score and higher %EC as compared to children of older mothers. Moreover, %EAR was higher among children of single mothers and it was closer to the recommended nutrition standards as compared to children of mothers with a partner. Conclusions When a child is diagnosed with any type of malnutrition, it is worth assessing various factors that might influence the nutritional status, such as child’s social background (e.g., maternal factors).

The aim of the article is to present selected issues related to the implementation of women’s right to special state assistance in a period as important as the period of maternity, as well as the scope and limits of this protection. The protection of mothers provided for in Art. 71 sec. 2 of the Constitution requires an increase in the standard of protection and assistance. According to the author, the Constitution creates sufficient grounds for public authorities to provide assistance to mothers in such an important period as motherhood. The Constitution left the scope of this assistance to the statutes.

The project is targeted at ‘mother-child’ family units, resident in Rome, at high risk of social or psychological distress during the fi rst year of the child’s life. It aims to identify families ‘at risk’ as early as possible, at the moment of the child’s birth. It offers programmed intervention in the home to promote secure attachment in the mother-child relationship and to include the family unit in a network of services and resources available in the area. Initiated in 1999, it was ‘trialled’ in six of the nineteen sub-municipalities of Rome and now extends to the whole city. After an interruption in 2009, it was reactivated in 2011.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of marital satisfaction among mothers of children with disabilities (N = 243). The issue was assessed by one measure, the Marriage Success Scale, constructed by Braun-Galkowska. The results of the statistical analysis show that every second mother of a child with disabilities is satisfied with her marriage. In addition, mothers satisfied and unsatisfied with their marriage have two significantly different images of their real marital relationships (p less than 0,05).

Objectives. The number of vaccination refusals is growing. A total of 1,291 vaccination refusals were recorded in Slovakia in August 2012. By August 2013, the number of refusals had risen to 2,595. The aim of this study is to investigate the issues and heuristics that play a role in parental decision-making on children’s vaccinations. Method. The authors conducted four focus groups among mothers of children under the age of 5 (N=34). The data were transcribed and analysed using qualitative analysis software and thematic analysis. Results. First-time mothers often reported being under pressure to make vaccination decisions within the stressful context of new-born check-ups. Under such conditions decision making is often subject to biases and driven by fear. In this paper, the heuristics that may play a role in the decision-making process are described. Discussion. Parents attempt to balance the potential risks of having their child vaccinated or not. Trust is another theme that tends to surface repeatedly in a system incapable of adequately dealing with questions related to vaccination safety. Conclusions. Vaccination is perceived to be a controversial medical intervention. Parents require assistance when deciding whether to vaccinate their child, especially in the form of clear, concise, balanced and empathetic discussion with paediatricians. Appropriate decision-making aids would also help the process.

Problém. Počet odmietnutí očkovania na Slovensku rastie. Do augusta 2012 bolo zaznamenaných 1291 prípadov odmietnutia očkovania. Do augusta 2013 tento počet narástol na 2595 prípadov. Cieľom tejto štúdie je zmapovať témy a heuristiky, ktoré vstupujú do rozhodovacieho procesu rodičov o očkovaní ich detí. Metóda. Autori zrealizovali štyri fókusové skupiny s matkami malých detí do 5 rokov (N = 34). Dáta prepísali a analyzovali softvérom pre kvalitatívnu analýzu metódou tematickej analýzy. Výsledky. Matky prvého dieťaťa často uvádzali tlak urobiť rozhodnutie ohľadom vakcinácie v stresujúcom kontexte novorodeneckých prehliadok. V takýchto podmienkach matky siahajú po heuristikách v rozhodovaní a rozhodnutie robia pod vplyvom strachu. Autori popísali niekoľko heuristík, ktoré môžu zohrávať rolu v procese rozhodovania. Diskusia. Rodičia sa snažia vybalansovať potenciálne riziká očkovania ako aj neočkovania. Opakovane sa vynára téma dôvery v systém, ktorý často nie je schopný vhodným spôsobom odpovedať na otázky týkajúce sa bezpečnosti očkovania. Záver. Očkovanie vnímajú mnohé participantky ako kontroverznú medicínsku intervenciu. Rodičia potrebujú pomoc pri rozhodovaní o očkovaní svojich detí, najmä formou jasnej, stručnej, vyváženej a tiež empatickej diskusie s pediatrom. Pomôcť rozhodovaciemu procesu by mohli vhodné rozhodovacie pomôcky.

Objectives. Parental burnout is a relatively newly studied phenomenon characterized by exhaustion in one’s parental role, emotional distance from children and low parental self-esteem. Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA) is the current gold-standard instrument for the measurement of parental burnout (PB). The aim of this study is to examine the psychometric properties of the Czech translation of the PBA (PBA-Czech). We tested the theoretical four-factor structure of PBA-Czech and its internal consistency. We also calculated the correlations of PBA scores with some sociodemographic characteristics. Sample and settings. Data were collected from 355 highly-educated parents living in the Czech Republic, of whom 219 were mothers and 136 fathers. The study was conducted as part of the second wave of the International Investigation of Parental Burnout (IIPB), Factors in Parental Satisfaction and Exhaustion. Hypotheses. We expected good reliability of the Czech version of the scale and a similar frequency of the particular burnout stages as measured in the original Belgian population. We also expected higher burnout in mothers compared to fathers and low correlations with other socio-demographic factors. Statistic analysis. The factor structure was examined by confirmatory factor analyses. For testing the internal consistency we used Cronbach’s alpha. Nonparametric Kendall correlations, Chi Squared Automatic Interaction Detection and General Linear Model were used for calculating relations between sociodemographic variables and PB. Results. The confirmatory factor analyses supported both the four-factor model and the second-order factor model. The inner consistency measured by Cronbach’s alpha was high. Mothers showed higher PB compared to fathers and mothers’ burnout increased with a number of children as well as with a number of children under 4 years of age. Fathers’ burnout increased with a number of sons. In both mothers and fathers, their burnout was decreasing with age with a similar slope. Limitations. The main limitation of our study was a non-random sample selection strategy and the high level of education in our sample. Another limitation relates to the time of the data collection at the end of the COVID pandemic as it could have affected the level of PB.

Cíle. Rodičovské vyhoření je relativně nově zkoumaným fenoménem, projevuje se vyčerpáním v rodičovské roli, emocionálním odstupem od vlastních dětí a negativním hodnocením sebe jako rodiče. Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA) je v současnosti zlatým standardem v měření rodičovského vyhoření. Cílem této studie bylo prozkoumat psychometrické vlastnosti českého překladu Parental Burnout Assessment – otestovat jeho shodu s teoretickou čtyřfaktorovou strukturou, určit jeho vnitřní konzistenci a dále souvislosti mezi skórem rodičovského vyhoření a některými sociodemografickými charakteristikami. Metody. Vzorek sestával z 355 rodičů žijících v České republice (219 matek a 136 otců), struktura vzdělání výzkumného vzorku neodpovídala normální populaci České republiky (vyšší frekvence rodičů s vysokoškolským vzděláním). Studie byla provedena v rámci druhé vlny mezinárodního výzkumu rodičovského vyhoření (International Investigation of Parental Burnout; IIPB; Factors in Parental Satisfaction and Exhaustion). Hypotézy. Autoři očekávali dobrou reliabilitu (konzistenci) české verze škály, vyšší vyhoření u matek ve srovnání s otci a nízkou korelaci s dalšími sociodemografickými faktory. Statistická analýza. Faktorová struktura byla zkoumána konfirmační faktorovou analýzou. Pro testování vnitřní konzistence bylo použito McDonaldovo omega, pro výpočet vztahů mezi sociodemografickými proměnnými a rodičovským vyhořením neparametrické Kendallovy korelace. Výsledky. Konfirmační faktorová analýza podpořila čtyřfaktorový model i model s jedním latentním faktorem druhého řádu. Vnitřní konzistence měřená pomocí McDonaldovy omegy byla vysoká. Matky vykazovaly vyšší rodičovské vyhoření ve srovnání s otci a vyhoření matek se zvyšovalo s počtem dětí a s počtem dětí mladších 4 let. Vyhoření otců se zvyšovalo s počtem synů a počtem dětí ve věku 5 až 9 let. Limity výzkumu. Hlavním limitem studie byla nereprezentativita vzorku, a to zejména vysoká úroveň vzdělání respondentů. Dalším limitem je to, že data byla sbírána v období končící první vlny epidemie covidu-19, což mohlo ovlivnit míru vyhoření českých rodičů.

Cel badań. Głównym celem pracy było poznanie zachowań zdrowotnych matek w kontekście nieprawidłowej masy ciała dzieci. Materiał i metody. W badaniach wzięło udział 250 rodziców dzieci ze szkoły podstawowej. Badania ankietowe przeprowadzono anonimowo, od lutego do marca 2017 r. Respondentami w większości były matki. Z tego względu dalsze analizy wyników badań dotyczyły głównie 208 dzieci badanych matek. W celu poznania zachowań zdrowotnych matek przeprowadzono badania z wykorzystaniem metody sondażu diagnostycznego. Techniką badawczą było ankietowanie. Narzędzie badawcze stanowił standaryzowany kwestionariusz – Inwentarz Zachowań Zdrowotnych Juczyńskiego. Wyniki. Nadwaga i otyłość dotyczyła 38% dzieci w wieku 6–13 lat, niedowaga – 23% dzieci. Odsetek dzieci z prawidłową masą ciała wyniósł 38%. Niemal we wszystkich kategoriach zachowań zdrowotnych matek uzyskano wyższe wyniki w porównaniu z normami zaproponowanymi przez Juczyńskiego. Wnioski. We wszystkich kategoriach zachowań zdrowotnych matek zdecydowanie częściej uzyskano wyższe wyniki. Poniżej norm średnich znalazły się jedynie praktyki zdrowotne. Wykazano zależność pomiędzy wykształceniem matek a wynikiem ogólnym zachowań zdrowotnych oraz prawidłowymi nawykami żywieniowymi, zachowaniami profilaktycznymi i praktykami zdrowotnymi. Nie wykazano zależności pomiędzy zachowaniami profilaktycznymi matek a masą ciała dzieci na wymaganym poziomie istotności. Należy jednak wskazać istniejącą tendencję: wraz ze wzrostem masy ciała dzieci średnie wartości zachowań zdrowotnych matek ulegały zmniejszeniu. Słowa kluczowe:

Background. Assessment of mothers’ health behaviours in the context of body mass of children. Material and methods. The study included the population of parents of children from a primary school in Lublin. The survey was conducted anonymously, between February and March, 2017. The majority of respondents were mothers. Therefore, further analysis of the results concerned 208 children of mothers who participated in the study. The study was conducted with the diagnostic survey method and the research technique was the authors’ questionnaire survey. The Inventory of Health Behaviours by Juczynski was applied as a research tool. Results. Overweight and obesity concerned 38% of children aged 6–13 years, underweight – 23.1% of children. Children with normal body constituted 38.9%. Almost in all categories of mother health behaviours, higher results were obtained compared with the standards proposed by Juczyński. Conclusions. In all categories of maternal health behaviours, definitely more often results higher than normal were obtained. Only the health practices were below the average standards. The relationship between maternal education and the overall health behaviour, as well as correct eating habits, preventive behaviours, and health practices was demonstrated. The relationship between prophylactic behaviour of mothers and body mass of children was statistically not significant. However, a trend should be indicated: with the increase of children’s body weight, the average values of mothers’ health behaviours decreased.

Introduction. Parents raising a child diagnosed with autism experience numerous challenges related to caring for the child, which impact the levels of stress they undergo. Aim. The aim of the study was to analyse the relationship between personality and temperament traits in mothers raising children diagnosed with disorders within the autism spectrum (ASD) and their stress coping strategies. The study also sought answers to the question of whether examined mothers, differing in personality and temperament types, significantly differ in their preferred stress coping strategies. Materials and methods. The study involved 58 women raising children with a medical diagnosis of disorders within the autism spectrum (acc. to DSM-5). Various research tools were applied in the study, such as a custom survey, the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS), the adult version of the EAS-D Temperament Questionnaire, and the Polish adaptation of the 10-item Big Five Personality Inventory (TIPI-PL). Results and conclusion. The results of statistical analyses indicate the presence of statistically significant negative correlations between mothers’ personality factors such as extraversion and emotional stability and stress coping emotions-oriented strategies. Positive correlations were found between the temperament traits of the examined mothers – negative emotionality and stress coping strategies focused on emotions and avoidance. Based on the cluster analysis, two groups of mothers were identified: those with introverted/emotionally unstable/negative emotionality personality type and those with extraverted/emotionally stable/positive emotionality personality type, significantly differing in their preferred stress coping strategies. Personality traits of the examined women, such as increased introversion, shyness, and neuroticism are significantly correlated with a preference for stress coping strategies focused on emotions. Temperament traits of the examined women, such as a tendency to react with dissatisfaction, anger, and aggression (i.e., negative emotionality) are correlated with stress coping strategies focused on emotions and avoidance. Women with an introverted/emotionally unstable/negative emotionality personality type significantly more often employ stress coping strategies focused on emotions in stressful situations than do women with an extraverted/emotionally stable personality type.

Wprowadzenie. Rodzice wychowujący dziecko z diagnozą autyzmu doświadczają wielu wyzwań związanych z opieką nad nim, które wpływają na poziom doświadczanego przez nich stresu. Cel. Celem pracy była analiza zależności między cechami osobowości i temperamentu matek wychowujących dzieci z diagnozą zaburzeń należących do spektrum autyzmu (ASD) a stylami radzenia sobie ze stresem. Materiały i metody. Badaniami objęto 58 kobiet wychowujących dzieci z diagnozą lekarską zaburzeń należących do spektrum autyzmu (według DSM-5). W pracy zastosowano różne narzędzia badawcze, takie jak: własna ankieta, Kwestionariusz Radzenia Sobie w Sytuacjach Stresowych CISS, Kwestionariusz Temperamentu EAS-D w wersji dla dorosłych oraz polską adaptację 10-punktowego Inwentarza Osobowości TIPI-PL. Wyniki i wnioski. Wyniki analiz statystycznych informują o występowaniu znaczących ujemnych korelacji między czynnikami osobowości matek: ekstrawersją i stabilnością emocjonalną, a stylem radzenia sobie ze stresem zorientowanym na emocjach. Dodatnie korelacje otrzymano między cechami temperamentu badanych: negatywną emocjonalnością a stylem radzenia sobie ze stresem zorientowanym na emocjach i unikaniu. Na podstawie analizy skupień wyodrębniono dwie grupy matek: z typem osobowości i temperamentu introwertywnym/niestabilnym emocjonalnie/z negatywną emocjonalnością oraz typem ekstrawertywnym/stabilnym emocjonalnie/z pozytywną emocjonalnością, które różnią się istotnie preferowanymi stylami radzenia sobie ze stresem. Cechy osobowości badanych kobiet: nasilona introwersja, nieśmiałość i neurotyczność łączą się istotnie z preferowaniem stylu radzenia sobie ze stresem skoncentrowanego na emocjach. Cechy temperamentu badanych kobiet: tendencja do reagowania niezadowoleniem, złością, agresją, czyli negatywna emocjonalność, łączy się ze stylem radzenia sobie ze stresem skoncentrowanym na emocjach oraz na unikaniu. Kobiety z typem osobowości introwertywnym/niestabilnym emocjonalnie/z negatywną emocjonalnością istotnie częściej niż kobiety z typem osobowości ekstrawertywnym/stabilnym emocjonalnie stosują w sytuacji stresu styl skoncentrowany na emocjach.

This article aims at identifying coping strategies in mothers of children with disability. One should notice that mothers of children with disability are exposed to stress to a bigger extent than fathers, which may result from the fact that it is them who in most of the cases care for children (sometimes they do it around the clock). Frequently, it is mothers who bear the burden of organizing care, therapy and rehabilitation for their child. The level of stress depends on various factors and to a great extent, it is of a subjective nature. There is no doubt that the level of stress is affected by when and how parents are informed about their child’s disability as well as the disability itself and its type. Such factors as a child’s characteristics, be-havior and degree of independence affect the level of stress in parents. What is of great importance in a stressful situation is the way of coping and choosing specific strategies. The method of diagnostic survey was used in the study and the study group constituted of 62 women who were mothers of children with disabilities. The results of the study indicate that the surveyed respondents use various coping strategies, but most of them are focused on emotions and their discharge. Planning and informational support are also frequent strategies.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest ukazanie strategii radzenia sobie ze stresem przez matki dzieci z niepełnosprawnościami. Należy zauważyć, że matki dzieci z niepełnosprawnością w większym stopniu niż ojcowie są narażone na stres, co może wynikać z tego, że to one w przeważającej mierze zajmują się dzieckiem (niekiedy robią to przez całą dobę). Często to na matkach spoczywa ciężar organizowania dla dziecka opieki, terapii i rehabilitacji. Nasilenie stresu zależy od wielu czynników i jest w dużym stopniu doświadczeniem subiektywnym. Niewątpliwie na poziom stresu wpływa czas, w jakim rodzice są informowani o niepełnosprawności swojego dziecka, sposób przekazania tej informacji, a także sama niepełnosprawność i jej rodzaj. Czynnikami, które mają wpływ na poziom odczuwanego przez rodzica stresu, są również cechy dziecka, jego zachowanie, stopień samodzielności. Ogromne znaczenie w sytuacji obciążenia ma sposób radzenia sobie z nią oraz wykorzystywane w tym celu strategie.W badaniach wykorzystano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego, a grupę badawczą stanowiły 62 kobiety, które są matkami dzieci z niepełnosprawnościami – 31 matek dzieci w normie intelektualnej, z zaburzeniami ze spektrum autyzmu i 31 matek dzieci z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną. Wyniki badań wskazują na to, że badane respondentki stosują różne strategie radzenia sobie ze stresem, jednak w przeważającej mierze są to te, które skoncentrowane są na emocjach i ich wyładowaniu. Często stosowaną strategią jest także planowanie oraz poszukiwanie wsparcia instrumentalnego.
