This book was released on 1982 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventy-six single mothers between the ages of 15 and 22 were studied to determine the relationship between stress and social support and to determine their service needs. Of these 76 individuals, 19 were chosen to participate in a Home Visit Program (a self-help support program), while 21 were chosen to act as a control group for the evaluation of the program. It was hypothesized that for the total sample an inverse relationship between stress and support would be found (as support increases, stress decreases). Our findings partially supported this hypothesis. Individuals having high scores for Family Support tended to have low scores on the External Stress scale. The items on this scale reflected primarily external stressors such as the parents' control over the respondent. Individuals having high Total Support scores (includes support of Family, Friends, and Professionals), tended to have low scores on the Internal Stress scale. This scale focuses primarily on emotional stress such as feelings of self-worth. The second hypothesis focused on an evaluation of the self-help program. It was predicted that participants in the program would experience an increase in support and a decrease in stress while non-participants would report no changes in stress or support during the same time period. Again, our results partially supported the hypothesis. Program participants did experience a significant increase in support while there was no change for the non-participants. Both participants and non-participants reported no significant change in feelings of stress at the end of the program. Of the participants, 92.8% were moderately satisfied to very satisfied with the program and 100% of the participants felt it should be continued. The final objective of this study was to define the needs of young single mothers and to make program recommendations. It was found that Social/Recreational programs had the highest priority for the respondents followed by How-to-Parent classes and Classes on How To Protect Your Rights. As well, 46.4% of all members of the experimental and control groups preferred to speak to single mothers rather than professionals about their problems. It was recommended that more emphasis be placed on the social/supportive aspects of programs for young mothers rather than simply on job-search and career training. As well, it was recommended that the self-help orientation to groups should be used wherever possible both for the benefit of the young mothers (increased independence, peer support and understanding) and the agency (less time spent on professional assistance).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All parents experience stress as they attempt to meet the challenges of caring for their children. This comprehensive book examines the causes and consequences of parenting distress, drawing on a wide array of findings in current empirical research. Kirby Deater-Deckard explores normal and pathological parenting stress, the influences of parents on their children as well as children on their parents, and the effects of biological and environmental factors. Beginning with an overview of theories of stress and coping, Deater-Deckard goes on to describe how parenting stress is linked with problems in adult and child health (emotional problems, developmental disorders, illness); parental behaviors (warmth, harsh discipline); and factors outside the family (marital quality, work roles, cultural influences). The book concludes with a useful review of coping strategies and interventions that have been demonstrated to alleviate parenting stress.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proportion of unwed mothers has been increasing in the United States for decades. Unwed mothers experience more social problems, financial limitations, and mental health problems than married mothers. Moreover, children who are born to unwed mothers are more likely to report poor child wellbeing when compared with those who are born to married mothers. Social support is an important resource that potentially mitigates the social, financial, and health problems that unwed mothers often experience. However, the perception of social support of unwed mothers and the effect of the support on mental health problems and/or child wellbeing is not well elucidated in previous studies. Hence, the purpose of this study was to describe the perception of social support of unwed mothers, to examine the association between maternal perceived social support and maternal mental health problems as well as the association between maternal perceived social support and child wellbeing. Data for this study were obtained from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS). The FFCWS is a national longitudinal survey that follows children predominantly born to unmarried mothers between September 1998 to September 2000 in 20 major U.S cities (in 15 states). This study has three aims. The first aim was to assess the maternal perception of social support across social status (such as race/ethnicity, family structure, family income, education, and occupation). The finding of the study showed that level of perceived social support was directly proportional to one's position in the social hierarchy (or social status). In other words, individuals in the higher social hierarchy (or social status) perceived better social support than those in the lower social hierarchy. The second aim was to examine the association between perceived social support and mental health problems. It was found that perceived social support was negatively associated with mental health problems. The association between maternal perceived social support and mental health problems was modified by social status. Therefore, the association between perceived social support and mental health problems was significant among individuals in the lower social status but not significant among those in the higher social status which implies that the effect of perceived social support is more important among individuals in the lower social status than those in the higher social status in protecting their mental health. The third aim of this study was to assess the association between maternal perceived social support during the first five years after delivery and child wellbeing (such as verbal ability, general health, internalizing, and externalizing behavioral problems) at the age of 9 years. Maternal perceived social support was positively associated with child verbal ability and negatively associated with child internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems but there was no significant association with general health. It is worth mentioning that the current study adds new knowledge to the knowledge pool. The study found that the perception of social support among unwed mothers does not significantly change over time. It also showed that the level of perceived social support is directly proportional to one's level of social status. Moreover, the study indicated that unwed mothers of low social status shoulder disproportionately higher burden of mental health problems. The association between perceived social support and mental health outcome is modified by one's social status which suggests that perceived social support is more likely to be effective in protecting mental health among unwed mothers of lower social status compared to those of higher social status.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the oldest statewide program serving autistic people in the United States, North Carolina's Division TEACCH (Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication handicapped CHildren) has had a major impact on ser vices for these people and their families. As we move into our second decade, we are frequently questioned about all aspects of our procedures, techniques, and program. Of all the questions that are asked, however, the one that comes up most frequently and seems to set our program apart from others concerns the ways in which we work with families. To help answer this question we identified what we have found to be the major components in our parent-professional relationships, and we elaborate on these with the most current research informa tion, clinical insights, and community knowledge available through the expertise of our distinguished contributors. Our purpose was to collect the most recent information and to organize the resulting volume along the outlines of the par ent-professional relationship found most important in the TEACCH program. Thus, the four main sections of the book include these four major ways profes sionals work with parents: as their advocates, their trainers, their trainees, and their reciprocal emotional support source. To the extent this effort was success ful, we acknowledge that it is easier to organize book chapters along these dimensions than it is to provide their implementation in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will change the way we understand the future of our planet. It is both alarming and hopeful. James Gustave Speth, renowned as a visionary environmentalist leader, warns that in spite of all the international negotiations and agreements of the past two decades, efforts to protect Earth's environment are not succeeding. Still, he says, the challenges are not insurmountable. He offers comprehensive, viable new strategies for dealing with environmental threats around the world. The author explains why current approaches to critical global environmental problems - climate change, biodiversity loss, deterioration of marine environments, deforestation, water shortages, and others - don't work. He offers intriguing insights into why we have been able to address domestic environmental threats with some success while largely failing at the international level. Setting forth eight specific steps to a sustainable future, Speth convincingly argues that dramatically different government and citizen action are now urgent. If ever a book could be described as essential, this is it.

Download or read book Exploring the Influence of Maternal Social Support on the Relationship Between Parenting Stress Among Mother Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence and the Mental Health of Their Children written by Sarah Rebecca Gojer and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a pervasive public health problem that disproportionately affects women and poses an intergenerational burden when it occurs among mothers. Children of mothers who experience IPV are at increased risk for experiencing a variety of mental health problems. Parenting stress mediates the relationship between IPV among mothers and the mental health outcomes of their children. Although social support protects against the harmful effect of IPV on mental health outcomes in mother survivors of IPV, it is less understood whether social support among mothers who experience IPV also has a protective effect on the mental health of their children. The proposed study will use a cross-sectional survey to understand whether maternal social support moderates the relationship between parenting stress in mother survivors of IPV and the mental health outcomes of their children. Hypotheses will be examined using descriptive analyses, bivariate correlations, and regression analyses
