Purpose: This study was conducted to describe parenting stress in mothers of preschoolers who were born prematurely and to determine factors affecting parenting stress in child¡¯s problem behavior, mother-child interaction and parenting alliance.
Methods: An exploratory survey study was conducted with 66 mothers of preschool children (5~6 years) with preterm births (PTB). Data were collected using Parenting Stress Index (PSI), Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), Mother-Preschool Child Interaction Scale (MPIS), and Parenting Alliance Inventory (PAI).
Results: Of the 66 mothers, 8(12.1%) showed high scores that were more than borderline for the PSI total score. In the multiple linear regression analysis, lower scores on the PAI (¥â=-.41, p<.001), higher scores on the externalizing problem behavior of the CBCL (¥â=.40, p=.001), and lower scores on the MPIS (¥â=-.21, p=.043) were statistically significant contributors to maternal parenting stress.
Conclusion: Findings indicate that mothers of PTB preschool children are at risk for parenting stress. Child¡¯s externalizing problem behavior, poor maternal- child interaction and parenting alliance were independent factors raising maternal parenting stress. More attention is needed on paternal parenting support, child¡¯s behavioral development, interaction with children for effective prevention and management of maternal parenting stress of PTB young children.
