摘要

家庭在孩子的成长中起着重要的作用。在工业化国家,近16%的儿童生活在单亲家庭中,这些家庭大多由单身母亲组成。虽然做母亲是女人所珍惜的最美好的感觉,但当女人不得不独自抚养有特殊需要的孩子,而没有丈夫或伴侣的支持时,这种经历可能是具有挑战性的。本研究旨在了解单亲母亲在抚养特殊需要儿童时所面临的挑战及应对策略。为此目的,对从印度克什米尔斯利那加地区有意挑选的三位单身母亲进行了深入的个案访谈。研究结果显示,多重角色和责任对单身母亲的心理健康产生了不利影响,因为她们必须承担照顾孩子的经济负担,包括看医生、特殊治疗和药物治疗等费用。此外,她们还必须经历单身母亲所带来的社会压力和耻辱。最广泛使用的应对策略包括来自家人和朋友的支持、宗教信仰和自我应对。该研究建议建立诸如免费咨询、津贴支持、全纳教育、免费医疗以及为有特殊需要的儿童及其母亲提供治疗等福利方案。

The challenges and coping strategies of single mothers caring for children with special needs: Experiences from Kashmir, India

Families play a significant role in the development of their children. Nearly 16% of children in the industrialized world live in single-parent households, which are mostly comprised of single mothers. Although motherhood is the most beautiful feeling a woman cherishes, this experience can be challenging when the woman has to raise their special-needs child on her own, without the support of her spouse or partner. This study aims to understand the challenges and coping strategies of single mothers while raising their special-needs children. To this end, in-depth case interviews were conducted with three single mothers selected purposively from the Srinagar area in Kashmir, India. The results revealed that multiple roles and responsibilities had an adverse effect on the psychological well-being of single mothers who had to deal with the financial burden of caring for their child's condition, including expenses for doctor visits, special therapies and medication, among other. In addition, they had to experience the social pressure and stigmatization attached to being a single mother. The most widely employed coping strategies include support from family and friends, religious faith, and self-coping. The study recommends the creation of welfare packages like free counseling, stipend support, inclusive education, free medical treatment, and therapies for Children with Special Needs (CWSNs) and their mothers.

期刊介绍: There is a growing recognition that major social trends, such as the process of globalization, rapidly changing demography, increasing psycho-social difficulties in individuals and families, growing economic disparities within and between the nations, and international migration, present important challenges for social policies and social work practices in Asia. It also has become evident that social policy strategies and social work methods must be developed and implemented in the context of Asian region''s own histories, cultures, and unique developmental trajectories in order to respond effectively to those emerging challenges. The Asian Social Work and Policy Review seeks to encourage exchanges of original ideas, rigorous analysis of experiences, innovative practice methods founded on local knowledge and skills of problem solving in the areas of social work and social policy between various countries in Asia.
