Self-care and types of temporality of women during parental leave

   Introduction. During the period of parental leave, the mother's self-care is an indicator of her well-being, satisfaction with herself. Also undergoing changes are the temporal features of the mother, such as her time scenario, focus and attitude to time. The problem of self-relationship and temporal characteristics of women on parental leave needs further empirical analysis and generalization.

   The aim of the study is to identify the relationship of the temporal scenario, the relation to time and focus with the self-relationship parameters of mothers on parental leave, as well as to establish differences in the types of temporality of women with different attitudes towards themselves.

   Materials and Methods. The respondents were 207 women aged 25 to 31 years on parental leave (the age of the child is from 7 to 9 months). A set of author's methods was used: the questionnaire "Attitude to oneself," "Subjective assessment of time orientation," "Time scenario of personality," "Scale of subjective attitude to time." Methods of mathematical statistics were primary descriptive statistics, comparison criterion, correlation analysis.

   Results. The results of empirical studies confirmed our assumption that there are differences in self-attitudes in women on parental leave, as well as the hypothesis that attitudes to time, along with a permissive or prohibitive time scenario, are an indicator of constructive (destructive) self-exposure of women on maternity leave.

   Discussion and Conclusions. Women with an active-positive attitude to themselves have a resource type of temporality – a resolving time scenario, a resource time focus (for the present and future) in combination with a flexible attitude to time; in respondents with unstable self-reaction, a neurotic-fixed type of temporality is expressed - prohibiting the time scenario, fixation on the past and future, in combination with time dependence as the leading type of relation to time; examined women with passive-positive self-reaction are characterized by infantile-fixed temporality with a pronounced indifferent attitude to time, infantile-resolving time scenario and fixation on the present.
