ABSTRACT

Introduction: Constructive coping strategies play an important role during childcare processes. We examined the determinants of coping strategies used by parents raising children with intellectual disabilities or other developmental disorders and by parents with typically developing children. Methods: The cross-sectional study was carried out in Cracow. The participants in the survey were 507 caregivers. The research used the Mini-COPE Inventory for Measurement–Coping with Stress and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Results: Parents of disabled children and parents of children without disabilities used the strategy of active coping most often and the strategy of substance use the least. Sociodemographic variables such as age, place of residence, education, and sociodemographic situation determined the type of strategy for dealing with stress. The statistical analysis showed the relationship between parents’ self-efficacy and type of coping strategy. Conclusion: There is a need to develop individualized family psychological support programs to stimulate caregivers’ constructive coping strategies.

摘要

简介：建设性的应对策略在育儿过程中起着重要作用。我们研究了养育智力障碍或其他发育障碍儿童的父母以及典型发育儿童的父母所使用的应对策略的决定因素。方法：在克拉科夫进行横断面研究。参与调查的是507名护理人员。该研究使用了Mini-COPE量表进行测量-应对压力和一般自我效能感量表。结果：残疾儿童的父母和非残疾儿童的父母最经常使用主动应对策略，而最少使用物质策略。社会人口统计学变量（例如年龄，居住地，教育程度和社会人口统计学状况）决定了应对压力的策略类型。统计分析表明父母的自我效能感与应对策略类型之间的关系。结论：有必要制定个性化的家庭心理支持计划，以激发护理人员的建设性应对策略。
