Abstract

Mothers of children with special needs have various difficulties, mostly as direct caregivers of the child. The level of coping with these difficulties is also related to the psychological resilience of mothers. Although there are many coping mechanisms to protect the psychological resilience of people, humor is one of them. For this purpose, it was aimed to examine the relationship between the levels of coping with humor and psychological resilience of mothers who have children with special needs. The study group of this research, which was designed according to the relational survey model, consisted of 480 mothers with children with special needs, whose educational examinations were completed by applying to various Guidance and Research Centers in Istanbul in the spring semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. In the study, Coping with Humor Scale and Brief Psychological Resilience Scale were used as data collection tools. In the study, the relationships and differences between the variables were examined through the ANOVA test, Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis. As a result of the correlation analysis, it was found that there was a positive, moderate, and significant relationship between the mothers' scores on coping with humor and psychological resilience scores. As a result of the regression analysis, it was found that the level of coping with the difficulties brought by this situation through humor predicts the psychological resilience of mothers who have children with special needs. As a result of the study, it was seen that humor is an important coping tool in increasing the psychological resilience of mothers with children with special needs, and various suggestions were made for educators and mental health professionals.

特殊需要儿童母亲幽默运用与心理弹性关系的研究

有特殊需要儿童的母亲有各种困难，主要是作为儿童的直接照顾者。应对这些困难的程度也与母亲的心理弹性有关。虽然有许多应对机制来保护人们的心理弹性，幽默是其中之一。为此，本研究旨在研究有特殊需要的孩子的母亲应对幽默水平与心理弹性之间的关系。本研究的研究组采用关系调查模型设计，由480名有特殊需要儿童的母亲组成，这些母亲在2022-2023学年春季学期通过向伊斯坦布尔各指导和研究中心申请完成教育考试。本研究采用幽默应对量表和简易心理弹性量表作为数据收集工具。在研究中，通过方差分析、Pearson相关系数和回归分析来检验变量之间的关系和差异。相关分析发现，母亲应对幽默得分与心理弹性得分之间存在正、中、显著的相关关系。通过回归分析发现，通过幽默应对这种情况带来的困难的程度可以预测有特殊需要孩子的母亲的心理弹性。研究结果表明，幽默是提高有特殊需要儿童的母亲心理弹性的重要应对工具，并为教育工作者和心理健康专业人员提出了各种建议。
