Abstract (Original Language): 
Araştırmanın amacı, otizmli çocuk ailelerinin “Aile Yaşam Kalitesi (AYK)” algılarının incelenmesidir. Araştırma grubu Türkiye’deki Otistik Çocuklar Eğitim Merkezlerine (OÇEM) devam eden 768 otizmli çocuk ailesinden (annesinden) oluşmaktadır. Otizmli çocuk ailelerinin AYK ve alt alan algılarının ortalamanın üzerinde olduğu, en yüksek algısının “aile etkileşimi” alt alanında, en düşük algının ise “duygusal yeterlik” alt alanında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ailelerin AYK algılarının yordanmasında 5 regresyon modeli elde edilmiştir. Toplam varyansı en çok açıklayan değişkenin “aile sosyal desteği”, ikinci sırada “sosyo-ekonomik statü (SES)” olduğu gözlenmiştir. Gelir düzeyi, anne çalışma durumu ve yaşanılan yer değişkenlerinin, ailelerin AYK algısını yordama gücünün zayıf olduğu görülmüştür. Anne yaşı, çocuğun cinsiyeti ve yaşı değişkenlerinin ise AYK algısının önemli bir yordayıcısı olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırma bulguları doğrultusunda aile sosyal desteğinin otizmli çocuk ailelerinin AYK algılarının yordanmasında en önemli değişken olduğu, sosyal destekteki artış ölçüsünde AYK algısının arttığı söylenebilir.
