Özet:

 


The objective of this phenomenological study was to explore the impact
of having a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) on mothers and its impact
on their family relations. Using descriptive phenomenology design, eight
mothers were reached in the age range of 20-48 years and were interviewed for
this study in 2010. Findings indicated that mothers perceived having a child
with autism as an ambiguous loss. The sense of ambiguous loss was found to
impair their emotional well-being and caused mood changes. This study has also
provided evidence for the sense of ambiguous loss caused by autism to lead to
structural and relational problems in family relationships. This study is one
of the first studies to reveal that having a child with autism creates a sense
of ambiguous loss and provides a basis for understanding its effects on the
mother-child relationship, as well as the related effects on family relationships.
