Developmental disabilities exert severe physical, cognitive and social-emotional consequences, such as low quality of life, not only on children but also on their families. However, the extent of the effect of such consequences on quality of life is partially dependent on how parents address the situation.
The study aimed to examine whether positive parenting mediates the link between parental resilience and quality of life of children with a developmental disability in Indonesia.
Data were derived from a three-wave longitudinal study on 497, 224 and 209 families in waves one, two and three, respectively. The study determined parental resilience by assessing the knowledge of parents about the characteristics of their child, perceived social support and positive perception of parenting. Quality of life consisted of five aspects: material well-being, communication and influence, socio-emotional well-being, development and activity. Positive parenting was assessed through observed levels of support, encouragement and praise.
The results demonstrated that positive parenting mediated the impact of positive perception of parenting on quality of life. This finding implies that positive perception and positive parenting should be encouraged when families with children with developmental disabilities receive care or support.
发育障碍会对儿童及其家庭造成严重的身体、认知和社会情感后果,如生活质量低下。然而,这些后果对生活质量的影响程度在一定程度上取决于父母如何应对这种情况。
本研究旨在检验在印度尼西亚,积极的养育是否在父母适应能力与发育障碍儿童生活质量之间起中介作用。
数据来自于一项三波纵向研究,分别在第一、第二和第三波中调查了 497、224 和 209 个家庭。通过评估父母对孩子特征、感知社会支持和积极养育认知的了解程度来确定父母的适应能力。生活质量包括五个方面:物质福利、沟通和影响力、社会情感幸福感、发展和活动。积极的养育是通过观察支持、鼓励和表扬的水平来评估的。
结果表明,积极的养育在积极的养育认知对生活质量的影响中起中介作用。这一发现意味着,在为发育障碍儿童的家庭提供护理或支持时,应鼓励积极的认知和积极的养育。
