It relates to the right of very young children and their families to receive the support they might need. ECI aims to support and empower the child, the family and the services involved. It helps to build an inclusive and cohesive society that is aware of the rights of children and their families. This report summarises the analysis of key aspects of the Early Childhood Intervention project that the Agency conducted during 2003–2004 in 19 European countries. It also provides a list of recommendations, mainly addressed towards professionals working in this field, offering them some practical ideas to reflect on and improve their practice.

Ιδιαίτερα μελετήθηκαν οι εξής παράγοντες που σύμφωνα με το θεωρητικό μοντέλο του Belsky (1984) φαίνεται ότι επηρεάζουν την ενασχόληση τους: ο τύπος της αναπηρίας, το φύλο και το ταμπεραμέντο του παιδιού, οι αντιλήψεις των πατέρων για τον πατρικό ρόλο, το επίπεδο του άγχους τους, η συζυγική τους ικανοποίηση και η υποστήριξη που λαμβάνουν από το οικογενειακό και κοινωνικό τους περιβάλλον. Για τις ανάγκες της έρευνας χρησιμοποιήθηκαν ποσοτικές μέθοδοι σε ένα δείγμα 172 πατέρων παιδιών προσχολικής ηλικίας εκ των οποίων οι 78 είχαν παιδιά με ειδικές ανάγκες και οι υπόλοιποι 94 πατέρες αποτέλεσαν την ομάδα ελέγχου. Οι πατέρες συμπλήρωσαν ερωτηματολόγια αναφορικά με την ενασχόληση τους με τη φροντίδα του παιδιού τους, το ταμπεραμέντο του παιδιού τους, τις αντιλήψεις τους για τον πατρικό ρόλο, το άγχος που βιώνουν σε σχέση με το παιδί τους, την ικανοποίηση που έχουν από τη συζυγική τους σχέση και την οικογενειακή και κοινωνική υποστήριξη που λαμβάνουν. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι οι πατέρες παιδιών με ειδικές ανάγκες δεν παρουσιάζουν σημαντικές διαφορές από τους πατέρες «τυπικών» παιδιών στο επίπεδο της συνολικής ενασχόλησης με τα παιδιά τους. Ακόμα, τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι οι παράγοντες που επιδρούν άμεσα στην ενασχόληση των πατέρων με τα παιδιά τους είναι οι αντιλήψεις των πατέρων για τον πατρικό ρόλο και η συζυγική ικανοποίηση. Αντίθετα, ο τύπος της αναπηρίας - αυτισμός, νοητική καθυστέρηση, κώφωση - το φύλο και ταμπεραμέντο του παιδιού επηρεάζουν ελάχιστα την πατρική ενασχόληση. Το άγχος των πατέρων δε φαίνεται να επιδρά άμεσα στην ενασχόλησή τους με τα παιδιά τους. Παρόλα αυτά, οι πατέρες παιδιών με ειδικές ανάγκες έχουν περισσότερο άγχος σε σύγκριση με αυτό των πατέρων «τυπικών» παιδιών ενώ ρυθμιστές του άγχους τους είναι η σχέση τους με τη σύντροφό τους και η υποστήριξη που έχουν από το κοινωνικό τους περιβάλλον. Τα παραπάνω αποτελέσματα είναι βοηθητικά για την καλύτερη κατανόηση των παραγόντων που ενισχύουν την ενασχόληση των πατέρων και για το σχεδιασμό και την υλοποίηση προγραμμάτων στήριξης για τους ίδιους και τις οικογένειες τους.</jats:p>

The following factors were examined: the disability type, fathers’ beliefs concerning the parental role, the parental stress, the satisfaction fathers receive from their marital relationship and the social support they receive. A sample of 78 fathers of preschool-age children participated in the study. Of them the 25 had deaf children, 23 had children with mental disability and 30 had children with autism. Fathers completed questionnaires measuring their child-care involvement, their beliefs concerning the parental role, their parental stress, their marital satisfaction and the social support they receive. Quantitative methods were used to analyze the data. Results revealed no difference in the overall level of childcare involvement between fathers of deaf children and fathers of children with autism and mental disability. Fathers of deaf children experience less stress than fathers of autistic and m...

The following factors were examined: disability type, fathers’ beliefs concerning their parental role, their stress, their marital satisfaction and the social support they receive. Results revealed no differences in the overall level of childcare involvement between fathers of deaf children and fathers of children with autism spectrum disorder or intellectual disability and between fathers of deaf children and fathers of children without disabilities. Fathers of deaf children experienced less stress than fathers of children with autism spectrum disorder or children with intellectual disabilities, but more stress when compared with fathers of children without disabilities. Additionally, it was found that the factor that influences directly fathers’ involvement with their deaf children was marital satisfaction.
