Correction of the Emotional State of Women Raising Disabled Children through the “Life-Giving Sip” Program

The article is devoted to the analysis of the influence of the psychocorrective program “Life-giving sip” on the emotional state of women raising children with disabilities. This program was implemented in the ANO Hippocenter “Luchik”, Ulyanovsk. The above experimental study involved 56 women aged 25 to 54 years, raising a disabled child aged 4 to 28 years. The “Methodology for diagnosing mental activation, interest, emotional tone, tension and comfort” was used as a toolkit (authors L.A. Kurgansky and T.A. Nemchin). A comparative analysis of the data obtained from the results of the implemented program showed the presence of significant differences in the emotional state of the respondents in terms of: mental activation, interest, emotional tone and comfort. Thus, the proposed “Life-giving sip” program is a proven effective corrective measure that allows women raising a child with disabilities to accept themselves and the external conditions of their lives, reduce anxiety and concern for the child and their actions in interaction with him, adjust to decision-making, expand the range of interests, relieve internal tension and feel yourself in a comfort zone.
