ABSTRACT

Cultures could influence parents in the way they perceive adverse situations and in how external factors influence resilience, which in turn, may differentially affect the quality of life of a child. The present study aimed to examine the associations between different dimensions of parental resilience and the quality of life of children in Indonesia. The samples consisted of 497 families. This study used the Parenting Resilience Elements and the Quality of Life Questionnaire. Parental resilience consists of three dimensions, knowledge of child’s characteristics, positive perception of parenting, and perceived social support. Knowledge of child’s characteristics, one of the parental resilience dimensions, significantly related to the Quality of Life dimensions of communication and influence, and development. Positive perceptions of parenting related to socio-emotional well-being. Perceived social support related to material well-being, activity, and socio-emotional well-being. We found that the parental resilience related to Quality of Life of children with developmental disabilities. Some findings could be unique for a collectivist culture and highlight the complexities of the association between different factors of parent resilience and Quality of Life of children with developmental disabilities in Indonesia.

摘要

文化可能会影响父母对不利情况的看法，以及外部因素如何影响复原力，而这反过来又可能对孩子的生活质量产生不同的影响。本研究旨在探讨父母复原力的不同维度与印度尼西亚儿童生活质量之间的关联。样本由 497 个家庭组成。本研究使用了育儿弹性元素和生活质量问卷。父母复原力包括三个维度，即对孩子特征的了解、对养育的积极认知和对社会支持的认知。对孩子特征的了解，是父母复原力维度之一，与沟通、影响和发展的生活质量维度显着相关。对育儿的积极看法与社会情感福祉有关。感知到的与物质幸福、活动和社会情感幸福相关的社会支持。我们发现，父母的复原力与发育障碍儿童的生活质量有关。一些发现对于集体主义文化来说可能是独一无二的，并强调了父母复原力的不同因素与印度尼西亚发育障碍儿童的生活质量之间关联的复杂性。
