Purpose: This study was aimed at identifying the levels of parenting stress among mothers of children with cerebral palsy and factors influencing parenting stress.
Method: The research design was cross-sectional survey. Data were collected from 122 mothers of hospitalized children (under 15 years of age) with cerebral palsy at the Y medical center using the questionnaires. The data were analyzed using one way analysis of variance with Scheffe test for post-hoc analysis or t-test, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression.
Results: The mean score of parenting stress was 2.52 (SD=0.79; range: 1~4). The father"s participation, mother"s parenting hours, self-esteem and social support were significant predictors of parenting stress, significantly accounting for the 33.3% variance (F= 16.118, p＜.001).
Conslusion: It is essential for health professionals to consider the aforementioned four factors when developing interventions to reduce parenting stress for mothers of children with cerebral palsy.
