Abstract (2. Language): 
The purpose of this study was to analyse the occurrence of psychiatric symptoms in parents with handicapped children and to examine their satisfaction with life. Participants were 113 parents of handicapped children. Data for the study were obtained from the Brief Symptom Inventory, Satisfaction with Life Scale and Personal Information Questionnaire. Results indicated that psychiatric symptoms and satisfaction with life exhibited dramatic differences due to the specific handicaps of their children. Except for depression and hostility, all other psychological symptoms were found as predictors of satisfaction with life of the parents with handicapped children. The results found in this study indicate that, the level of negative self-concept and somatization increase as the parents' educational status decreases. As the life satisfaction of the parents gets higher, the negative self-concept and somatization levels decrease. Also, the psychological symptoms of the parents vary according to the type of disability of their children.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Araştırmanın amacı engelli çocuğa sahip ebeveynlerde görülen ruhsal belirtilerin bazı değişkenlere göre farklılaşmasını ve ebeveynlerin psikolojik belirtilerinin yaşam doyumunu açıklama düzeylerini incelemektir. Araştırma grubu 113 engelli çocuğa sahip ebeveynlerden oluşmuştur. Araştırma verileri Kısa Semptom Envanteri, Yaşam Doyumu ölçeği ve kişisel bilgi formu kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre ebeveynlerin ruhsal belirtileri ve yaşam doyum düzeyleri çocuklarının engel türüne göre önemli farklılıklar göstermektedir. Depresyon ve hostilite hariç diğer tüm psikolojik semptomların engelli çocuğu olan ebeveynlerin yaşam doyumlarını açıkladığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre eğitim seviyeleri düşük ebeveynlerin düşük benlik kavramı ve somatizasyon düzeylerine sahip oldukları bulunmuştur. Ebeveynlerin yaşam doyumlarının artması ile benlik kavramı ve somatizasyon düzeylerinin azalması arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca ebeveynlerin ruhsal belirtileri çocuklarının engel türüne göre de önemli düzeyde farklılıklar göstermektedir.
