Özet:

 Autism Spectrum Disorder ASD is a disorder whose prevalence has increased over the years and affects both the diagnosed individual and hisher family. It is observed that parents experience stress in the process and report depression and anxiety. This study aims to investigate the relationships between these symptoms and perceived social support PSS and the protective role of PSS in the effects of stress on depression. To achieve this aim, 156 mothers whose children were diagnosed with ASD participated in the study. Demographic Information Form, Depression Anxiety Stress 21 Scale DASS-21 and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support MSPSS were applied to the participants. As a result of the study, it was found that stress, depression and anxiety had positive relationships with each other, while the relationships of PSS and PSS from different sources with these symptoms were also examined. As a consequence, only PSS from a significant other was found to have a negative relationship with depression. Additionally, the moderating role of PSS and PSS from different sources in the relationship between stress and depression was not found. As a result, it was concluded that PSS does not have a protective role in the effects of stress on depression. While there are conflicting findings in the literature, it is thought that it would be beneficial to evaluate the perceptions and expectations of mothers with children diagnosed with ASD regarding social support. Finally, the limitations of the present study and suggestions for future research were mentioned.

 Otizm Spektrum Bozukluğu OSB yaygınlığı yıllar içerisinde artarak hem tanı alan bireyi hem de ailesini etkileyen bir rahatsızlıktır. Ebeveynlerin süreçte stres yaşadıkları, depresyon ve anksiyete rapor ettikleri görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada OSB tanılı çocuğu olan annelerin psikolojik sıkıntı düzeyleri, bu sıkıntılar ile algılanan sosyal desteğin ASD ilişkisi ve stresin depresyon üzerindeki etkilerinde ASDnin koruyucu rolünün incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amacı gerçekleştirmek için çalışmaya çocuğu OSB tanısı almış 156 anne katılmıştır. Katılımcılara Demografik Bilgi Formu, Depresyon Anksiyete Stres 21 Ölçeği DASS-21 ve Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği MSPSS uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda, stres, depresyon ve anksiyetenin pozitif ilişkileri olduğu bulunurken, ASDnin ve farklı kaynaklardan ASDnin de bu belirtilerle ilişkileri incelenmiştir. Yalnızca özel birinden ASD depresyon ile negatif ilişkili olarak bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, stres ve depresyon ilişkisinde ASDnin ve farklı kaynaklardan ASDnin düzenleyici rolüne ilişkin hipotezler desteklenmemiştir. Sonuç olarak, ASDnin stresin depresyon üzerindeki etkilerinde koruyucu rolünün olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Alanyazın bağlamında da çelişkili bulguların olduğu görülürken, OSB tanılı çocuğu olan anneler açısından sosyal desteğe dair algılarının, beklentilerinin değerlendirilmesinin fayda sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Son olarak, çalışmanın kısıtlılıkları ve gelecek çalışmalar için öneriler yer almaktadır.
