Abstract EN

Aims: This Study aims to identify the relation between the Experience of Stigma along with its Impact and the positive parenting changes from the Perspective of Caregivers (Mothers or who act on their behalf) of the children suffering from developmental disorders (Autism, Mental Disability, Developmental Delay, Attention- Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder).

Sample: The sample in the study consists of 169 caregivers.

The Researcher used two tools in the study whereas the same were prepared by (Sarker, 2010), after the Researcher translated and localized both tools and verified the psychometric properties thereof.

These tools are the Scale of Experience of Stigma along with its Impact, and the Positive Parenting Changes Scale.

Results: The Study has demonstrated that there are not differences between the Caregivers of Children suffering from Developmental Disorders in the Experience of Stigma, its Impact& dimensions and in the Positive Parenting Changes.

The Study further demonstrated the existence of a significant negative correlation between the dimensions of the Scale of Experience of Stigma along with the Impact thereof and the dimensions of the Scale of Positive Parenting Changes regarding the caregivers of children suffering from developmental disorders.

The degrees of the dimension of the positive changes in Self- perception predicted the degrees of the Stigma Effect dimension with a percentage of contribution 12.1%.

Moreover, the degrees of the dimension of the positive changes in Self- perception predicted the degrees of the Social Stigma Experience dimension with a percentage of contribution 16%.

The degrees of the dimension of the positive changes in Self- perception participated with the degrees of the dimension of the positive changes in Perception- of- Life in the degrees of the Social Stigma Experience Dimension with a percentage of contribution 20.1%.

The degrees of the dimension of the positive changes in Self- perception predicted the degrees of the Social Stigma Experience dimension with a percentage of contribution 4.8% from the Total Covariance percentage.

The Study has finally demonstrated the statistically significant differences between the caregivers of children with developmental disorders in Stigma Experience and its impact as per the demographic variable of the standard of living, and the differences have been verified to be in favor of the caregivers with a low standard of living.
