Mothers’ and Fathers’ Roles in Caring for an Adult Child with an Intellectual Disability     

Michelle Rowbotham  Monica Cuskelly 《International Journal of Disability, Development & Education》2011,58(3):223-240

To date, there have been few studies of mothers’ and fathers’ roles in caring for their adult children with intellectual disabilities. The present study investigated the care-giving roles of mother and father couples caring for their adult offspring with an intellectual disability, their psychological health, and the demands and satisfaction of their care-giving roles. Twelve Anglo-Australian middle-aged mother and father couples with an adult child with intellectual disability (mean age?=?24 years) participated in semi-structured interviews about their care-giving roles and completed a series of questionnaires pertaining to care-giving difficulties and satisfaction, hassles and uplifts, and general health. Findings indicated that an extremely high proportion of both mothers and fathers were in the clinical range for social dysfunction, anxiety/insomnia, and somatic complaints, although levels of depression were relatively low. The present study found that mothers undertake more daily care-giving tasks than fathers, but that the range of tasks is similar. Mothers also reported significantly more care-giving difficulties and satisfaction than fathers. Associations between measures differed somewhat for the two parent groups, indicating the need for further exploration of both mothers’ and fathers’ experiences.  相似文献   

Waiting to inhale: how to unhurry the moment of birth     

Malloy ME 《The Journal of perinatal education》2011,20(1):8-13

A doula and expectant mother's view of birth is forever changed when she sees a midwife simply place a newly born child below her mother at the moment of birth. The pause that the mother experiences in this moment as she studies, touches, and claims her child prompts the author to reflect in this guest editorial on ways we might be disturbing the natural sequence of birth as we deliver babies directly to their mothers' chests.  相似文献

高校青年教师工作满意度研究——以安徽省为例     

余承海  姚本先 《扬州大学学报(高教研究版)》2011,15(1):56-59

采用质的研究方法,以安徽高校青年教师为调查对象,通过非正式个人访谈对安徽省高校青年教师的工作满意度进行实证研究。研究发现：在工作与报酬上,民办高校青年教师的工作满意度显著低于公办高校青年教师,而在职称晋级、对上级领导与同事的认知上二者之间不存在显著差异;在工作上,专科高校青年教师的工作满意度显著低于本科高校青年教师,而在报酬、职称晋级、对上级领导与同事的认知上二者之间不存在显著差异;除了在报酬方面有些许出入外,文科与理工科高校青年教师在工作满意度、职称晋级、对上级领导与同事的认知上不存在显著差异。  相似文献   

主观幸福感内容成分的结构关系     

何立国  黄蕾 《宁波大学学报(教育科学版)》2011,33(3):27-31

抽取了有代表性的506名中学生和大学生,通过结构方程建模方法对青少年学生主观幸福感的成分结构作实证的检验与分析,结果表明：正性情感和负性情感是SWB的两个相对独立的成分,在认知成分（生活满意度）与正性情感和负性情感的因果关系没得到证明之前,SWB的指标值应该是三者的综合。  相似文献

从“以人为本”角度提升跑马山的旅游价值     

杨建容 《内江师范学院学报》2011,26(5):88-90

位于＂情歌故乡＂的跑马山,是藏区著名的神山之一,优势的资源却不能令前往的游客满意,究其原因就是在开发过程中忽略了＂人＂的因素。所以,以科学的发展观为指导,坚持以旅游者为本、以社区居民为本、以旅游从业人员为本,全面提升跑马山的旅游价值具有重要现实意义。  相似文献
