Research consistently indicates that parents of children with mental retardation report considerably more stress associated with child characteristics than parents with typically developing children. It is commonly believed that the adaptive functioning and problem behaviour of a child with mental retardation plays a significant role in the stress a parent experiences especially mothers. The present study examines maternal stress and adaptive behaviour of children with mental retardation and attempts to find out relationship among maternal stress in mothers with that of adaptive behaviour in children with mental retardation. Participants consisted of a purposively selected 60 mothers and their respective children with mental retardation. Mothers ranged in age from 26 to 40years, with an average age of 33years (SD=4.292) and their children with mental retardation ranged in age from 48 to 192months, with an average age of 114.767 months (SD=33.742). Maternal stress in mothers was assessed using the Family Interview for Stress and Coping in Mentally Retarded Section-I (FISC-MR-I). Adaptive and Problem Behaviour in children with mental retardation were assessed using the Vineland Social Maturity Scale (VSMS) respectively. The results established a relation between maternal stress and adaptive behaviour of the child (r=-0.617), maternal stress and this correlation was found statistically significant. The specific mother related and child related demographics that are related to elevated maternal stress levels are discussed. The correlation among maternal stress scale domains and adaptive behaviour scale domains scales are also discussed.Keywords

Intellectual disability in India is a major challenge which not only limits the capacity of the afflicted individual but at the same time also leads to the parent's vulnerability to stressors. There is considerable evidence to suggest that parents of children with intellectual disability experience greater stress than caregivers of children without intellectual disability. This stress tends to be chronic in nature and therefore persists over substantial period of time. Caring for children with intellectual disabilities drains parent's economic, physical, mental and psychological resources. Behavioural problems which are frequently associated with intellectual disabilities add to the parental stress. The present paper while reviewing current literature highlights the nature of stress experienced by parents of children with intellectual disabilities and its effect on family environment and also demonstrates evidence based intervention strategies for its management. The relationship between the child related characteristics and parental stress are also discussed. The results suggest that there are practical implications of reducing parental stress which will be beneficial for general parent training interventions and also for successful behaviour management programmes for children. There is a need to replicate parental stress management programmes with a more diverse group and long-term follow-up.Keywords

Diabetes exhausts individual's physical as well as psychological resources because of its chronic nature. It has been seen that certain individuals' belief in themselves make it easy for them to survive efficiently through the prolonged uneasiness of the disease. Self efficacy and proactive attitudes are two of the components thought to create a certain kind of possibility to follow a strict medical regimen and build up an optimal confidence level for self-management of the chronic disease. The present study aimed at investigating the relationship between self-efficacy and proactive attitude among diabetic patients. It also studied the impact of different demographic variables like gender, educational qualification, residential area, age, family type, marital status, monthly income and employment status with respect to self efficacy and proactive attitude among patients with diabetes. The sample included 180 diabetic patients (59 male and 121 female) taken from different hospitals of Srinagar city belonging to different parts of Kashmir. Self-efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease developed by Stanford Patient Education centre and Proactive Attitude Scale developed by Ralph Schwarzer were used in the present study for assessing self-efficacy and proactive attitude respectively. Data so collected was analyzed using mean, S.D, correlation, t-test and ANOVA. Findings of the study suggest that there is a significant correlation between self-efficacy and proactive attitude among diabetic patients. The impact of socio-demogrphic variables is also discussed. Gender, residential area and family type showed no significant difference with respect to self-efficacy and proactive attitude.Keywords

Currently, many places in the world are plagued by the various forms of human violence which deeply, directly and negatively affects all aspects of human development. Violence, arising out of armed conflict is one such form of human violence which is affecting millions of lives throughout the world. The witnesses and victims of violent conflict are showing the signs and symptoms of poor physical, psychological and social health. Further, it is playing havoc with the lives of children, adolescents and adults in terms of their education, adjustment and achievement. The impact of conflict in J&K is such that the exposure to actual armed conflict is limited but the effects are in terms of repression, loss of security, loss of income and service access, disrupted schooling, displacement and other forms that have an immense impact on the lives of children and their families. Empirical studies on children in a conflict situation show the determinant effects on children's mental health and well-being. A systematic review to examine the impact of exposure to violent conflict on inhabitant's psychological well-being, physical health, mental health, achievement motivation and academic achievement was conducted. Studies were included if they met the following criteria: investigating the impact on psychological well-being, physical health, mental health, achievement motivation and academic achievement published till September 2017. Research findings reviewed here provide evidence suggesting that exposure to violent conflict impacts cognitive functions, academic progress, physical and mental health of inhabitants.Keywords
