Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify the parenting stress, the family functioning and their relationship in mothers with a child below 3 years. We recruited participants (n=251) who had a child less than 3 years of age and lived in urban area randomly in 2008. They completed questionnaire which constructed with Parenting Stress Index (PSI) (78 items) and Korean Family Functioning Scale (24 items). 85.3% of mothers were in nuclear family, 43.4% of mothers had full-time job. The mean score of parenting stress was 2.4 (moderate), and that of family functioning was 3.1 (moderate-high). There were statistically significant differences in the parenting stress by the employment status of mothers (p＜.001), having helper except spouse (p＜001). There were statistically significant differences in the family functioning by the age of mother (p＜.05), the age of father (p＜05). There was a moderate significant correlation between parenting stress and family functioning(r=−.36, p＜0.001). Findings indicate significant correlation between family functioning and parenting stress and suggest possibility of reducing mother's parenting stress by family centered nursing interventions to strengthen family functioning.
