Introduction:
The marital adjustment provides the chance to a happy family and helps both the husband and wife to cope successfully with the changing situations despite the contradicting aspects in the personality of both the husband and wife. Of the situations that need coping and adaptability is the presence of an autistic child as a member of the family; Autism is one of the childhood disturbances which is characterized by an inability in the social interaction and an inability in the communication and the imaginative playing, and a decreased extent of activities and interesting which usually appears before the third year of age the agreement and understanding among family members, especially the parents, is a principal factor in the development of this child in the training program which is very important for the autistic child and his parents in which the child is been trained to depend on its self to be autonomic and developing his skills at general which the stress of parents as aresult of the child’s development degree may be affected by the nature of the marital adjustment between parents and the nature of the parents’ personality traits (depression, anxiety, or obsesses )
The study problem:-
The study problem is determined within responding to the following questions:-
1- Are there statistically significant differences between mean scores of the autistic children group on training program utilized in pre and post test?
2- Is there statistically significant relationship between marital adjustment in the autistic child’s parents and its developmental rate in the training program?
3- Is there statistically significant relationship between personality traits (depression, anxiety & compulsive obsessions) of the autistic child’s parents and the development degree of the autistic child in the training program?
4- Are there statistically significant differences between mean scores of children of martially adjusted parents and maladjusted parents in the post – test of the training program.
5- Are there statistically significant differences between mean scores of children of high and low in personality traits (depression, anxiety. & compulsive obsessions) in post – test of the training program.
The study importance:
The importance of the study lies in the study of the relation ship of marital adjustment & personality traits (depression, anxiety & compulsive obsessions) in autistic child’s parents and the developmental degree of autistic child in training programs in which our understanding increases about autism, as well as, enriching the researches in this field, specifically, where there is a rarity in researches, which handled programs of developing autistic child skills in the Egyptian Society, specially, self – caring programs .
Childhood examination in the current study aims to recognizing its problems and demands, as well as, the family which is the society nucleus, in addition to, demonstrating its relationship with the marital adjustment which is the nucleus of the upbringing of children with healthy socialization.
Study aims:
The study aims is represented in the following points:-
1- discovering the effect of training program in developing some self-caring skills in autistic children group.
2- discovering the nature of relationship between the marital adjustment in the autistic child’s parents and the developmental rate of the autistic child in the training programs.
3- Discovering the nature of relationship between the personality traits (depression, anxiety & compulsive obsessions) in autistic child’s parents, and the developmental rate of the autistic child in training program.
4- discovering the nature of differences between the children of martially adjusted and unadjusted in the post – test of the training program.
5- discovering the nature of differences between children of high and low in personality traits (anxiety, depression & compulsive obsessions) in the post – test of the training program.
Hypotheses:-
1- There are statistically significant differences between mean scores of autistic children group in the training program at pre - & post – test in favor of the post – test in some self-caring skills
2- There is a statistically significant relationship between the score of marital adjustment of autistic children’s parents and the progression degree of the autistic child in the training program.
3- There is a statistically significant relationship between personality traits (depression, anxiety & compulsive obsessions) in autistic child’s parents and the progression rate of the autistic child in the training program.
4- There is a statistically significant relationship between differences between mean Scores of the martially adjusted and maladjusted in the post – test of the training program .
5- There are statistically significant difference between mean scores of the children of high and low parents at personality traits (depression, anxiety & compulsive obsessions) at the post – test of the training program.
* The study terms:
The study is lined out by the participants, of the study, as well as, the Egyptian population from which this sample is selected, and by study variables as measured by tests and measures used and the statistical techniques employed.
* Study procedures:
(A) participants:-
1- Autistic children group: A number of 23 autistic child aged 6 – 12 years old , selected from “ Abaa wa Abnaa “ center for mentally retarded care, and from “ Al Ebn Al Khas “ center for caring children of mental special needs.
2- Autistic children’s parents group: A number of 46 participant who are originally the parents of the autistic children group; (23)mother & (23) father, aged 30 – 50 yrs. Old)
(B) Study tools: - the study has used the following tools: -
1-Marital adjustment questionnaire:
Authorized by: Moors Manson & Arthur Learner, translated and standardized into Arabic by Adel Ezz El din El ashwal (1989)
2- Beck depression inventory (short form ) Authorized by : Beck Translated and prepared by Ghareeb Abd – El fattah (1990)
3- Taylor manifest anxiety scale Developed by tylor, translated by Ahmed Mohamed Abd – El Khalek .
4- Autism diagnosis criteria in DSM IV for mental disorders (1994)
5- Arabic scale for compulsive obsessions; Developed by Ahmed Mohamed Abd – El Khalek (1992)
6- Family socioeconomic status scale; Developed by Abd – El Aziz El shakhs (1995 A. D) second edit
7- Goddard shapes board test for measuring intelligence
8- Autistic child scale developed by Adel Abdullah Mohammed (2001A.D)
9- Primary data and developmental history sheet Developed by the Author
10- Entrance to the Autistic child sheet developed by the Author.
11- Program of developing some self caring skills for the autistic child developed by the author
* Statistical manipulation: -
The following statistical procedures have been employed
1- Spearman rankings correlation coefficient
2- WilKockson test (w)
3- Mann – Whitney test (U)
The study results: -
By responding to the hypotheses, the study results have been represented as follows :-
1- There are statistically significant differences between pre – test and post – test in the autistic children group at the training program in favor of the post – test .
2- There isn’t any statistically significant relationship between personality traits (depression, anxiety & compulsive obsessions) of autistic child’s parents and at which extent the autistic child is progressing in the training program .
3- There isn’t any statistically significant relationship between personality traits (depression, anxiety & compulsive obsessions) in the autistic child’s parents and the progression degree of the autistic child in the training program.
4- There are statistically significant differences between mean scores of children of maritally adjusted mothers and mean scores of children of maritally maladjusted mothers, meanwhile, There weren’t any statistically significant differences between mean scores of children of the martially adjusted and maladjusted parents at the post –test of the training program.
5- There aren’t statistically significant differences between mean scores of children of those high and low in personality traits (depression, anxiety & compulsive obsessions) in the post – test of the training program.
