The aim of this study was conducted to determine investigating the correlation between life satisfaction and religious attitudes of families with disabled children and other factors affecting. The study was conducted in mixed design (sequential explanatory design), in which the first stage is quantitative (102 caregivers) and the second stage is qualitative (9 caregivers). The quantitative data were collected with Personal Information Form, Ok-Religious Attitude Scale and Diener-Satisfaction with Life Scale. The qualitative data were obtained by conducting the in-depth interviews. A positive but insignificant correlation was found between life satisfaction and religious attitudes. As a result of qualitative study, 5 themes; Religious beliefs, causes of acceptance, reasons for being negative, coping with problems and family acceptance and support and 15 sub-themes were prepared. Religious attitude positively affects people’s life satisfaction. However, only supporting people’s religious attitudes is not adequate to increase their life satisfaction. It is also necessary to fulfill factors such as improving the child’s condition, solving the problems in their lives, providing social support, and ensuring them to cope with the problems. It is thought that the results of the study will be a guide for health and social service workers.

Bu çalışma, engelli çocuğa sahip ailelerin yaşam doyumları ile dini tutumları arasındaki ilişkiyi ve etkileyen diğer faktörleri araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma, birinci aşama nicel (102 bakım veren) ve ikinci aşama nitel (9 bakım veren) olmak üzere karma desende (sıralı açıklayıcı desende) yürütülmüştür. Nicel veriler Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Ok-Dini Tutum Ölçeği ve Diener-Yaşam Doyum Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Nitel veriler derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılarak elde edilmiştir. Yaşam doyumu ile dini tutumlar arasında pozitif fakat önemsiz bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Nitel araştırma sonucunda 5 tema; Dini inançlar, kabul nedenleri, olumsuz olma nedenleri, sorunlarla başa çıkma ve aile kabul ve desteği ile 15 alt tema belirlenmiştir. Dini tutum, insanların yaşam doyumunu olumlu yönde etkiler. Ancak insanların sadece dini tutumlarını desteklemek onların yaşam doyumlarını arttırmada yeterli değildir. Çocuğun durumunun iyileştirilmesi, yaşamındaki sorunların çözülmesi, sosyal desteğin sağlanması, sorunlarla baş etmesinin sağlanması gibi unsurların da yerine getirilmesi gerekmektedir. Çalışma sonuçlarının sağlık ve sosyal hizmet çalışanları için yol gösterici olacağı düşünülmektedir.
