Objectives : This study investigated the relationship among child´s behavior problems, maternal depression, and parenting stress in children with psychiatric diagnoses and their mothers, and the effect of these variables to the mothers´ parenting stress.
Methods : Seventy-three children (31 externalizing, 24 internalizing, 18 mixed) and their mothers were involved in this study. The mothers of three groups completed MMPI, KPI-C (Korean Personality Inventory for Children), and PSI (Parenting Stress Index). To investigate the relationships among each variables, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, stepwise regression analysis were performed.
Results : There was no significant difference in maternal depression among three groups of children. In 2-Way ANOVA, main effect of maternal depression was statistically significant on depression, parent health, and relationship v ith spouse subfactor in parent domain, parent domain total, and overall parenting stress. But the main effect of child group was statistically significant on distractability/hyperactivity subfactor in child domain only. In regression analysis, maternal depression explained the parent domain of parenting stress most effectively, and child´s hyperactivity and anxiety explained the child domain of pa-renting stress significantly.
Conclusion : These findings suggest that it is important to intervene maternal depression to reduce the parenting stress, along with the treatment of the child´s behavior problems.
