| Abstract | Roditeljstvo djeteta s teškoćama dovodi do brojnih promjena unutar obitelji te se odražava na partnerski odnos roditelja. Kvaliteta partnerskog odnosa obuhvaća kognitivnu procjenu partnera o kvaliteti njihovog bračnog odnosa. Kod proučavanja partnerskih odnosa ističu se određene dimenzije, poput zadovoljstva brakom koje se definira kao procjena braka svakog partnera, komunikacije koja je bitna za ostvarivanje kvalitetnih interpersonalnih odnosa te privrženosti kojom se pojedincu pruža osjećaj sigurnosti i podrške. S obzirom na postojanje nekonzistentnih rezultata u području proučavanja partnerskih odnosa roditelja djece s teškoćama u razvoju te s obzirom na nedovoljnu istraženost na području RH cilj ovoga istraživanja bio jest ispitati kvalitetu partnerskih odnosa kod roditelja djece s teškoćama u razvoju. U svrhu ispitivanja kvalitete partnerskih odnosa 117 sudionika (Mdob= 39.85, SDdob=6.88, NM=3, Nž=114) ispunilo je online upitnik, koji je osim određenih pitanja vezanih za djetetove teškoće i sociodemografske podatke, uključivao i sljedeće mjerne instrumente: Upitnik karakteristika i funkcija privrženosti (Ombla i sur., 2016), Skalu kvalitete bračne komunikacije (Ćubela Adorić, 2016) te Skalu zadovoljstva brakom (Ćubela Adorić i sur., 2014). Rezultati su između ostalog pokazali kako nije utvrđena statistički značajna povezanost između socioekonomskog statusa roditelja i obrazovanja roditelja djece s teškoćama u razvoju sa zadovoljstvom partnerskim odnosom. Utvrđena je statistički značajna visoka pozitivna povezanost između kvalitete partnerske komunikacije te zadovoljstva partnerskim odnosom. Uz to, utvrđena je statistički značajna umjerena povezanost između kvalitete partnerske komunikacije i zadovoljstva partnerskim odnosom s indikatorima privrženosti separacijskom anksioznosti i sigurnim utočištem. Nije utvrđena statistički značajna razlika u kvaliteti partnerske komunikacije, u doživljaju separacijske anksioznosti i sigurnog utočišta u odnosu s partnerom, ni u zadovoljstvu partnerskim odnosom između roditelja djece s težim i teškim stupnjem oštećenja. |
| Abstract (english) | Parenting a child with disabilities leads to numerous changes inside the family and affects the partnership relationship of its parents. The quality of partner relationship includes the partner's cognitive assessment of the quality of their marital relationship. When studying partner relationships, certain dimensions stand out, such as marital satisfaction, which is defined as the evaluation of each partner's marriage, communication which is essential for achieving quality interpersonal relationships, and attachment that provides the individual a feeling of security and assistance. Considering the inconsistent findings in the field of studying partner relationships of parents of children with developmental disabilities and considering innsufficient research in the Republic of Croatia, the goal of this research was to examine the quality of partner relationships amidst parents of children with developmental disabilities. For the purpose of examining the quality of partner relationships, 117 participants (Mage= 39.85, SDage=6.88, NM=3, NW=114) completed an online questionnaire, which except for certain questions related to child's difficulties and sociodemographic data, also included the following measuring instruments: Attachment Features and Functions Questionnaire (Ombla et al., 2016), the Quality of Marital Communication Scale (Ćubela Adorić, 2016) and Marital Satisfaction Scale (Ćubela Adorić et al., 2014). Among other things, the results demonstrated how there was no statistically significant association among the socioeconomic class and the education of the parents of children with developmental disabilities and partner's relationship satisfaction. A statistically significant and high positive relationship was found among the quality of partner communication and partner's relationship satisfaction. To add, a statistically remarkable moderate association was found between the quality of partner communication and partner's relationship satisfaction with indicators of attachment, separation anxiety and safe haven. No statistically notable difference was discovered in the quality of partner communication, in the experience of a safe haven and separation anxiety, nor in satisfaction with the partner's relationship between parents of children with heavier and severe impairment. |
