Social and Psychological Competence as a Factor of the Occurrence and Overcoming of Mental Burn out of Mothers Working and Raising Children With Hearing Impaired

   Parents of children with hearing impairments are faced with the problems of their emotional, intellectual and moral-personal development, the formation of adaptive skills of interpersonal interaction, which often leads to mental burnout and determines the requirements for the content of socio-psychological competence as a factor in overcoming it.

   The purpose of the study is to identify the relationship between socio-psychological competence and mental burnout of mothers working and raising children with hearing impairments. 94 mothers of children with hearing impairments of I and II degrees enrolled in the Kursk boarding school for children with disabilities (54 mothers aged 29 to 63) and the Belgorod correctional general education boarding school No. 23 (40 mothers aged 24 to 65) took part in it.

   Observation and conversation, as well as standardized psychodiagnostic techniques for examining parental burnout and the content of socio-psychological competence were used to collect data. The results were processed using the Statistica 11.0 software. It has been empirically proven that the independence of the choice of the method of action, the desire to preserve the health and safety of children is a factor in the emergence of emotional exhaustion of mothers. A factor in the reduction of personal achievements is the postponement of the solution of the problem that has arisen, the desire for novelty and deep feelings. Overcoming the emotional exhaustion of mothers is possible due to the ability to manage their own and others' emotions, to control their positive and negative manifestations, tolerance, self-discipline, the desire to get away from a conflict situation; an increase in parental competence is possible due to sufficiently developed abilities to control emotions, to find common essential signs in various non-verbal reactions of children, as well as activity and consistency in upholding their interests and respecting the interests of others.
