“…Five studies had interventions that were categorized as multiple component treatments, which included BPT and either CBT and/or other support services [Singer et al, 1989;Bristol et al, 1993;Salt et al, 2002;Hudson et al, 2003;Tonge et al, 2006]. One intervention was based on family systems theory [Pelchat et al, 1999] and was categorized as an FSI.…”

A meta-analysis of the group intervention research for parents of children with developmental disabilities was conducted in order to characterize the efficacy of treatments in reducing depressive symptoms and other forms of psychological distress associated with stress in parents of children with developmental disabilities. An extensive search led to the identification of 17 studies which were divided into three categories for comparative purposes: parenting education studies usually based on behavioral parent training, coping skills education studies based primarily on cognitive behavioral training, and studies that combined these methods along with other support services. Studies were rated for the quality of the research designs and of the reports. Consistent positive benefits were found in the form of reductions in parents' distress, and these effects were comparable to those reported in other syntheses of parenting interventions for parents of children without disabilities. The studies were evaluated in order to assess whether or not they met standards for established evidence-based practices. On the basis of the quality and number of the randomized trials, we present evidence to support the claim that there are established evidence-based interventions for reducing psychological distress at least in middle-class mothers in the short term. The interventions for fathers are promising as are the data on somewhat longer-term effects. The need for replications with a more diverse group of parents and longer-term follow-up were discussed. Multiple component interventions addressing both parent well-being and behavioral parent training were significantly more effective than either behavioral parent training or cognitive behavioral training along.

“…Data from the three studies that included separate posttest data for fathers [Schultz et al, 1993;Pelchat et al, 1999;Singer et al, 1989] yielded an average posttest unweighted effect size of d 5 0.36, with a 95% confidence interval of þ0.27/þ0.44 and a weighted effect size of 0.37 for a total of 102 fathers.…”

“…Haftada bir kez ya da daha az görüşen annelerin (70.7610.05) sosyal destek düzeyleri ile haftada 2-3 kez (71.3911.90) ve her gün konuştuklarını (75.128.09) belirten annelerin algıladıkları sosyal destek düzeyleri arasında anlamlı farklılık bulunmamıştır (df:2, F:1.702, p:0.188). (Singer, Irvin, Irvine, Hawkins ve Cooley, 1989;Holroyd 1988). Yeterli sosyal destek aldığını düşünen annelerin daha sağlıklı bir birey olarak toplumda yer aldıkları belirtilmektedir (Kazak ve Marvin 1984).…”

ÖzSerebral Palsi (SP) en yaygın görülen gelişimsel yetersizliktir. SP'de motor ve postür bozukluğuna ek olarak çoğunlukla zihinsel yetersizlik, görme yetersizliği, işitme kaybı, epilepsi, konuşma ve dil bozuklukları eşlik etmektedir. Bu çalışmada erken çocukluk dönemindeki SP'li çocuğu olan annelerin, algıladıkları sosyal destek düzeyinin çocuğun cinsiyetine, yetersizlik düzeyine, akraba, komşu ya da arkadaşları ile yüz yüze ve telefonla görüşme, yakınlarının ziyarete gelme, iş amacıyla dışarı çıkma sıklığına ve çocuğun bakım yükünü alma durumuna ilişkin değişkenler açısından incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma, 36'sı kız, 54'ü ve erkek, 90 SP'li çocuk ve annesi ile yürütülmüştür. Önce çocuklar, Kaba Motor Fonksiyon Sınıflama Sistemi (KMFSS) ve klinik tiplerine göre değerlendirilmiş, daha sonra annelere Sosyal Destek Ölçeği (SDÖ) uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 21.0 programı kullanılarak bağımsız örneklem t-testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) ile analiz edilmiştir. p<.05 istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda; akraba, komşu ya da arkadaşları ile yüz yüze görüşme sıklığına, ziyarete gelme sıklığına, iş amacıyla çalışmak dışında dışarı çıkma sıklığına ve çocuğun bakım yükünü alma durumuna göre anlamlı şekilde farklılaştığı görülmüştür. Bu çalışmada elde edilen bulguların, eğitim ve rehabilitasyon çocuğun tüm sorumluluğunu üstlenen annelerin farklı alanlarda desteklenmesine katkıda bulunacağı düşünülmektedir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Serebral palsi, sosyal destek, erken çocukluk. An Investigation of Social Support Levels in Mothers of Children with Cerebral Palsy in Early Childhood AbstractCerebral Palsy (CP) is a common developmental disability. CP is primarily a disorder of movement and posture. Associated deficits are present in large majority; mental retardation, visual impairement, hearing impairment, epilepsy, speech and language disorders. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the perception of social support levels of the mothers of the children with CP in early childhood period in terms of the variables regarding the sex of the children, the level of the disability, the frequency of talking to the relatives, neighbors or friends on the phone or face to face, having a house guest, going outside for the job and carrying the responsibility of the child. The study was conducted with 90 children with CP, 36 female and 54 male, and their mothers. First, the children were evaluated according to Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and * Yrd. Doç. Dr., Ege Üniversitesi, Eğitim Fakültesi, Özel Eğitim Bölümü, pelin

“…The remainder of this chapter is organized into three sections: (a) trends and issues, (b) future research and limitations, and (c) conclusion. Although interventions for parents of children with IDD have received some attention in the parent education literature [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56], it appears that the majority of recent parent education interventions have included parents of children with ASD rather than children with an intellectual disability.…”

This review summarizes selected studies involving education and training programs designed to improve parents' ability to provide research-based support and intervention for their children with intellectual disabilities. First, we highlight stressors and obstacles associated with parenting a child with intellectual disability and note the relative paucity of existing research in light of the increased risk of stress, anxiety, and depression reported for this population. Next, we provide a description of recent trends and issues and attempt to elucidate gaps in the existing literature that warrant additional research effort. Ultimately, this paper highlights the growing need for interventions that include both behavioral and psychosocial components to better address needs in families of children with intellectual disability. Specifically, we conclude that there exists a need for future research on culturally sensitive parent training as well as on potentially efficient group-based parent education programs for families of children with moderate to profound intellectual disability.
