Uzimajući u obzir osobne i okolinske prepreke, osobe sa stečenim fizičkim teškoćama prolaze kroz mnoge stresne situacije. U radu se ispituju strategije suočavanja koje rabe studenti s tjelesnim teškoćama. Cilj je ispitati korelaciju između uvjerenja o sebi i svijetu (samopoštovanje, samopouzdanje i nadanje) i strategija suočavanja kod studenata s fizičkim teškoćama. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 111 studenata sa stečenim fizičkim teškoćama uključujući ozljede kralježnične moždine i različite druge teškoće s kralježnicom. Provedeno je kvantitativno, transverzalno istraživanje i primijenjene su poljske inačice sljedećih instrumenata: Coping Orientations to Problems Experienced (COPE) (Wrześniewski, 1996), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES) (Dzwonkowska et al., 2008), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES, Schwarzer, Jeruzalem) (Juczyński, 2001), Basic Hope Inventory (BHI) (Trzebiński and Zięba, 2003b). Provedene su analize deskriptivne statistike, korelacije (Pearsonov koeficijent korelacije) i regresijska analiza. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da uvjerenja o sebi i svijetu imaju prediktivnu funkciju u objašnjavanju strategija suočavanja koje rabe studenti s fizičkim teškoćama. Također otkriveno je da uvjerenja kao što su samopoštovanje, samopouzdanje i nadanje pomažu u objašnjavanju variranja pojedinačnih strategija suočavanja, s obzirom na intenzitet i prirodu korelacije. Konačno, nizak postotak objašnjene varijance strategija suočavanja kod studenata s fizičkim teškoćama upućuje na važnost drugih varijabli koje nisu uključene u ovo istraživanje. Rezultati se promatraju u kontekstu prethodnih istraživanja.
Background
Many fathers with intellectual disabilities experience some difficulties in fulfilling their parenting role due external factors. The quality of their parenting depends on various factors, including the availability and adequacy of support. The aim of this study was to understand the lived experiences associated with social support of fathers with intellectual disabilities.
Method
The organisation of the research and data analysis were carried out in accordance with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 20 fathers with intellectual disabilities.
Results
In the analysis, three interrelated themes emerged: Discrepancies between needs and provision of support; Discriminatory practices and feeling (dis)empowered; and Recognition of support.
Conclusions
Fathers described negative aspects of their experiences that were not conducive to strengthening paternal competences and led to a sense of loneliness. Positive aspects also emerged, indicating that fathers were determined to fulfil their role despite the lack of adequate support for their needs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
