Associations Between Religion/Spirituality, Family Characteristics, and Mental Health Among Parents with Children with Developmental Delay

The Effect of Self-Regulation on Spiritual Well-Being Among Parents of Children with Hearing Impairment in China: Does Resilience Function as a Mediator?

This study explores spiritual well-being among parents of children with hearing impairment and how self-regulation and resilience relate to spiritual well-being in mainland China. The Self-Regulation Scale, the Resilience Scale, and the 4-Item Spiritual Well-Being Index were administered to 416 parents of children with hearing impairment. Results indicated that self-regulation positively affected resilience, and resilience positively affected spiritual well-being. Notably, resilience, as a mediating variable, weakened the effect of self-regulation on spiritual well-being. The contributions, limitations, and implications of the present research are discussed.

Exploring the Link Between Mothers' Spiritual Well-Being and Positive Parenting in the Turkish Context: The Role of Mindful Parenting

This cross-sectional study examined the role of mindful parenting in the association between spiritual well-being and positive parenting behaviors among mothers of typically developing children. The sample comprised 381 mothers of children aged 4-17 years. We collected the data using the Three-Factor Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS-3), the Mindfulness in Parenting Questionnaire (MIPQ), and the Multidimensional Assessment of Parenting Scale (MAPS). We tailored our analysis through the subscales of the SWBS-3 (transcendence, harmony with nature, and anomie) to control the contamination effects of other psychological constructs (e.g., meaning and connectedness) on the measurement of spiritual well-being. The correlation analysis yielded significant results, indicating a relationship between the SWBS-3 subscales and mothers' mindful parenting skills (i.e., being in the moment with the child and mindful discipline) and positive parenting practices. Moreover, the mediating effect analysis revealed that mindful parenting skills assumed diverse roles in the relationship between transcendence, harmony with nature, and anomie and positive parenting practices. The findings were then addressed in the context of the existing literature.
