“…The results of this study also showed that despite reporting low social and emotional supports from friends, mothers of children with special needs were not significantly different from the mothers of children without special needs in terms of perceived social support. This finding is consistent with the results of some studies (34,35); however other studies have shown that the extent of perceived emotional support in parents of children with special needs can be effective in reducing the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in them (30). Having a satisfactory perception of emotional support from others plays an important role in managing and fulfilling maternal responsibilities.…”

Background and Purpose: The birth of a child is an exciting but stressful event for the parents. Meanwhile, the birth of a child with special needs imposes more stress on the parents and requires special physical and mental strength to parenting the child. The current study was conducted to compare the interpersonal mindfulness in parenting, parental competence, and perceived social support in the mothers of children with or without special needs. Method: This study was a descriptive research with comparative analytical design. The statistical population included two groups of mothers of children with or without special needs living in Qazvin in 2018. Among them, 160 mothers (87 having a child without special needs and 73 having a child with special needs) were selected voluntarily by convenience sampling to participate in the study. The research tools included Interpersonal Mindfulness in Parenting Scale (Duncan, 2007), Parenting Sense of Competence Scale (Johnston and Mash, 1989) and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet, Dahlem, Zimet, and Farley, 1988). Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups of mothers of children with or without special needs in terms of interpersonal mindfulness in parenting (p<.01) and parental competence (p<.05); however no significant difference was found in terms of perceived social support (p>.4). Conclusion:Results showed lower scores of parental competence and higher scores of interpersonal mindfulness in parenting in the mothers of children with special needs compared to the mothers of children without special needs. The implications of the result are discussed in the article.

“…It was found that trait anxiety scores decreased as the age of the parents increased (56 years and over). Özyazıcıoğlu and Buran (2014;228) found a negative relationship between state anxiety levels and age in their study on families with mentally retarded children. When the literature is examined, families worry about who will take care of their children and what will happen to them as the age of their mentally retarded child gets older or after he/she passes away (Kaytez et al, 2014;208).…”

Bu araştırma, zihinsel engelli çocuğu olan ailelerin kaygı ve umutsuzluk düzeylerini belirlemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı tipte yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini Eylül-Aralık 2017 tarihleri arasında Karadeniz’in bir ilçesinde Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğü’ne bağlı bulunan özel eğitim ve rehabilitasyon okullarında eğitim görmekte olan 120 zihinsel engelli öğrenci ailesinden birine yapılmıştır. Veriler tanıtıcı bilgi formu, Beck Umutsuzluk Ölçeği ve Durumluk-Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin dağılımına göre bağımsız gruplarda T testi, One-Way Anova, Mann Whitney U ve Kruskal Wallis H testi uygulanmıştır. Ebeveynlerin %68,3’ünün 34-44 yaş grubunda olduğu, %76,7’sinin kadın olduğu, %40,8’inin ilkokul mezunu olduğu, %70,8’inin çalışmadığı belirlenmiştir. Ailelerin Beck Umutsuzluk Ölçeği’nden aldığı toplam puan 6,40±4,94’tür. Durumluk-Sürekli Kaygı Envanteri’nden sürekli kaygı alt boyutundan 48,29±5,66 puan ortalaması alırken durumluk kaygı alt boyutundan 40,95±5,99 puan ortalaması almıştır. Ailelerin durumluk kaygı puanları ile umutsuzluk tüm alt boyutları ve toplam puan arasında negatif yönde, zayıf ve anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Sürekli kaygı puanları ile umutsuzluk tüm alt boyutları ve toplam puan arasında ise anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmemiştir.

“…Combined, these challenges contribute to family fragility, decreased well-being, and poorer quality of life for people with ASD and their families. Information seeking as a mechanism for increased agency and coping has been well recognized in the LIS literature (Chatman 1996;Harris et al 2001;Savolainen 1995;Wilson 2000) and, though less prevalent, particularly observed in information behavior studies of parents who have children with significant health concerns and disabilities (Al-Daihani and Al-Ateeqi 2015;Gibson 2014;Jackson et al 2008;Mackintosh, Myers, and Goin-Kochel 2005;Özyazıcıoğlu and Buran 2014).…”

Public libraries are often referred to as community anchors-boundary-spanning institutions (Williams 2002) ideally positioned to inform, empower, and connect citizens in local communities. Despite American Library Association (ALA) and Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) statements explicitly valuing diversity, inclusivity, and equitable access, people with disabilities (PWD) and their families are often excluded from meaningful use of, and engagement with, local libraries. For a large portion of the autism community, the library does not provide meaningful services or information beyond early childhood and can be perceived as an unsafe space for adults with autism. This article presents secondary analysis of a survey of 635 parents of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in the state of North Carolina, as well as an intersectional analysis of race, gender, disability, and information behavior. It also discusses the implications of these findings for library planning.
