ABSTRACT

Raising a disabled child can be highly stressful for the parents, and it can negatively impact their quality of life. Therefore, in order to minimise such problems and difficulties, the parents are in need of resilience. The present study aimed to evaluate the role of perceived stress, social support, and resilience in predicting the quality of life among the parents of disabled children. The statistical population included all parents with disabled children in Behbahan city. The sample consisted of 250 volunteers who were selected voluntarily. The research instruments included World Health Organisation Quality of Life Questionnaire-Short Form, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The results show that there was a negative and significant relationship between perceived stress and the quality of life of the parents of disabled children. Moreover, there was a positive and significant relationship between social support and resilience, and the quality of life of the parents of disabled children. In addition, the stepwise regression analysis showed that the variables of resilience, social support, and stress can explain and predict 59% of the variance in the quality of life of the parents of disabled children.

摘要

抚养残疾孩子会给父母带来很大的压力，并且会对他们的生活质量产生负面影响。因此，为了尽量减少此类问题和困难，父母需要有韧性。本研究旨在评估感知压力、社会支持和复原力在预测残疾儿童父母生活质量方面的作用。统计人口包括Behbahan市所有有残疾儿童的父母。样本由自愿选择的 250 名志愿者组成。研究工具包括世界卫生组织生活质量问卷简表、感知压力量表（PSS）、感知社会支持多维量表和康纳-戴维森复原力量表（CD-RISC）。结果表明，残疾儿童父母的感知压力与生活质量之间存在显着的负相关关系。此外，社会支持和复原力与残疾儿童父母的生活质量之间存在积极且显着的关系。此外，逐步回归分析表明，复原力、社会支持和压力等变量可以解释和预测残疾儿童父母生活质量的59%的方差。
