Özet

Purpose This study aims to examine the effects of activity groups using art activities on resilience and related factors in mothers with disabled children. Design and Methods This randomized controlled experimental design study was conducted with 33 mothers (18 in the control and 15 in the intervention group). Findings A statistically significant difference was found between the intervention group's pretest and posttest mean scores on the Resilience Scale for Adults, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, Zarit Burden Interview, and 12-item General Health Questionnaire scales. Implications for Nursing Practice The psychological activity groups that used art activities were found to increase psychological well-being and satisfaction with life among the families of disabled children with various types of distress (physical, psychological, economic, and social), as well as reducing their mothers' perceived caregiving burden.
