Abstract :
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare resilience and anxiety among parents with disabled children in Tehran during the academic year 2018-2019. Method: The study design was causal-comparative. The statistical population of this study was all parents of students of exceptional schools (Baysat and Meysam) in district 2 of Tehran who were selected by available sampling method. The sample included 196 parents of exceptional school children. The tool used in this study was Beck Anxiety Inventory (1990) and Conor & Davidson Resilience Questionnaire (1). Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (one-way ANOVA) were used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that there is a difference between the type of disability (hearing, blindness, physical-motor disability) and the parents' resilience of exceptional schools in District 2 of Tehran. There was also a difference between the type of disability (hearing, blindness, physical-motor impairment) and anxiety of parents of special schools in District 2 and education in Tehran. Conclusion: According to the results of comprehensive social support, it is necessary to provide rehabilitation and educational services and services by social organizations. When this type of support is available in the community, on the one hand, it causes the disabled person to grow in different aspects, and on the other hand, due to the reduced dependency of the disabled person on the family, the level of family stress is reduced, which in turn It makes them more adaptable.
