ÖZET
 Amaç: Kekemeliği olan çocukların annelerinin umut ve pozitif-negatif duygu düzeylerini çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmaya 6-12 yaş arası kekemeliği olan 33 (10 kız, 23 erkek) çocuğun annesi dâhil edilmiştir. Çocukların yaş ortalaması 9,30 ve annelerin yaş ortalaması 34,85'tir. Araştırmada veriler 'Umut Ölçeği', 'Pozitif-Negatif Duygu Ölçeği', 'Kekemelik Şiddeti Değerlendirme Aracı-4' ve 'Kişisel Bilgi Formu' aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Kekemeliği olan çocukların yaşı arttıkça, annenin pozitif duygusu azalmakta ve negatif duygusu artmaktadır. Annelerin umut ve pozitif-negatif duygu düzeylerinin, çocuklarının cinsiyetine göre anlamlı düzeyde farklılık göstermediği görülmektedir. Ortaokul mezunu annelerin umut düzeylerinin, ilkokul ve lise mezunu annelere göre anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Kekemeliği olan çocukların annelerinin umut düzeylerinin zaman içinde azalması, anneler için kekemeliğin şiddetinden çok varlığının önem taşıması söz konusudur. Bu nedenle annelerle belirli aralıklarla bire bir görüşmeler yapılması, kekemelik terapilerinin gidişatını olumlu yönde etkileyebilir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Kekemelik; umut; duygusal yönler; okul çağı; anneler
ABSTRACT
 Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the hope and positive-negative affect levels of the mothers who had children with stuttering. Material and Methods: The research included 33 (10 female and 23 male) mothers with children who had stuttering and whose age ranged from 6 to 12. The mean value of children's age was 9.30 while this value was 34.85 for the mothers. The Adult Hope Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Stuttering Severity Instrument4 and Demographic Information form were utilized for data collection. Results: As the ages of children with stuttering increased, the mothers were observed to have lower levels of positive affect and higher levels of negative affect. The hope and positive-negative affect levels of the mothers did not significantly differ according to the gender of the children. It was seen that those mothers who graduated from middle school had significantly higher levels of hope compared to those who were elementary and high school graduates. Conclusion: A steady decrease in the hope levels of the mothers who had children with stuttering referred to the existence of stuttering rather than its severity. Therefore, regular and individual meetings with mothers could hold a positive impact on the course of stuttering intervention.
