Abstract EN

The aim of the current research is to examine the relationship between mindfulness in its relation to perceived social stigma as predictors of psychological resilience among mothers of children with disabilities in the light of some demographic variables associated with mothers (mother's age, educational level, income and place of residence), and their children with disabilities (type of disability child's age, gender and order among siblings).

the research was applied to a sample of 617 mothers, with an average age of (29.50) and a standard deviation of (8.674), while the average age of their children was (4.36) with a standard deviation of (2.996), from four governorates (Cairo, Fayoum, Beni Suef, Minya).

the results showed: there is a positive and statistically significant relationship at the 0.01 level between the total degree of mindfulness and the total degree of perceived stigma for mothers of children with mental disabilities.

the results also showed a discrepancy in the differences between mothers according to some demographic variables related to mothers (mother's age, educational level, income and place of residence), and to their children (child's age, gender and order among siblings).

also a positive and statistically significant correlation was found between the perceived stigma and mindfulness at the level of significance of 0.05.

as well as a positive and statistically significant relationship between psychological resilience and mental alertness, at the significance level of 0.05.

it was also clear that there was a positive and statistically significant relationship between psychological resilience and the perceived stigma among mothers of children with disabilities at the significance level of 0.01.

the results also revealed the possibility of predicting psychological resilience as a dependent variable in light of the relationship between mental alertness and perceived social stigma as independent variables.
