Our research group is formed of 425 mothers who have mentally retarded children that go to special training schools and take private classes and that are premised to be retarded but still trainable according to health reports. In this research, data is received through Data Collection Form, The Hopelessness Scale, The Questionnaire On Resource and Stress-F Pessimism Scale, Family Support Scale and a researcher who researches the fear of future and future plans through Future- Related Plan Scale. In order to determine whether the mothers' perception degree of hopelessness, despair, fear of future and degree of social support differ according to their ages, education and income or not, we used a one way variance analysis and then checked the source of difference in meaningful outcomes with Scheffe Test. We used two way variance analysis in order to determine whether the mothers' degree of perception for hopelessness, despair, fear of future and degree of social support differ or not according tothe variables related to the child. We used multi regression analysis in order to determine whether the perception of mothers' social support, despair and fear of future determine their hopelessness or not. Finally, the percentage of the answers given to the questions that are prepared by the reserachers as who is going to look after the child after his/ her mother and the instensity of the social support net are revealed. According to the result of this research, it is apparent that the mothers' perception of hopelessness, despair, degree of social support does not differ related to the mother's age, however, it differs according to her level of education and income; besides that, future plans also change according to her level of education and income. When it comes to the variables related to the child, mother's perception of hopelessness, despair and degree of social support and future plans do not make difference according to the child' s age and sex but it does make difference according to the child' s level of mental retardation and the duration of special trainings that the child takes. According to the regression analysis outcomes, mother perception of despair, level of social support and future plans determine their hopelessness. 26% of mothers stated that they do make future plans for their children and a great amount of them declared that they are not anxious about future care compensations of their children. Finally, 38.2% of mothers declared that they belive brothers or sisters will take care of their mentally retarded brother or sister after them.
