The questionnaires used were DASS21R for anxiety and depression, and Parenting Sense of Competence Scale was used for parenting self-efficacy. Results showed that mothers of children with developmental disorders have higher levels of anxiety than their fathers, that age is a positive predictor of depression and anxiety in parents of children with developmental disorders, and that self-efficacy is a negative predictor of mental health disorders.","PeriodicalId":409634,"journal":{"name":"Review of Psychopedagogy","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124951139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is related to the level of stress, the latter being a trigger for resilient behavior. Creativity is a component of personality and a necessary characteristic in the activity of teaching staff that can be involved in resilient behavior.
