FEATURES OF THE STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION OF PARENTAL ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE EDUCATION OF "BURNOUT" MOTHERS OF CHILDREN WITH HEARING IMPAIRMENTS

Relevance. Burnout is a serious problem for modern people living under constant stress. This is especially true when raising children with disabilities, where parenting is a constant stress, and chronic strain can destroy not only the parent's psychological well-being but also the harmony in the parent-child relationship and the family as a whole.

The purpose of this study is to identify the specifi parenting attitudes of mothers prone to parental burnout while raising children with hearing impairments. The data obtained will serve as the basis for developing psychological prevention programs for this condition.

Materials and methods. Eighty-eight working mothers participated in the study, conducted at boarding schools for children with hearing impairments in Kursk and Belgorod. Respondents ranged in age from 24 to 65 years, with work experience ranging from 1 to 40 years. Based on their level of parental burnout, the sample was divided into an experimental group (high level, n=44) and a control group (low level, n=44).

Results. The structural features of parental attitudes of "burned-out" mothers regarding raising children with hearing impairments were empirically identified. Such components of its structure as "Attitude to Family Role," "Excessive Emotional Distance from the Child," and "Excessive Focus on the Child" are factors that cause parental burnout. And "Optimal Emotional Contact" inhibits its occurrence. Regarding the basic elements of the parental attitudes structure, "Maternal Dominance," "Parental Over-Authority," "Excessive Strictness," "Exclusion of Intra-Family Influences," and "Excessive Interference in the Child's World" provoke parental burnout, while "Partnership Relationships" prevents it.

Conclusions. . Maternal psychological exhaustion is triggered by destructive attitudes: authoritarianism, overprotection, and family isolation. These attitudes impose unquestionable rules and expectations of unquestioning obedience. Emotional coldness or detachment are disguised as discipline, a system of prohibitions, and high demands. The focus on the child takes the form of total control: "eliminating intra-family influences" and "extreme intervention." Conversely, harmonizing relationships through partnership is the main resource preventing burnout. This is because destructive attitudes deplete internal psychological reserves, while partnership, trust, and equality, on the contrary, create conditions for psychological relief and the harmonious development of the child.
