Cultural Concept

Parenting stress is a cross-cultural concept and is impacted by specific family and life circumstances. Parenting stress is amplified by challenging life situations including poverty, single parenting, and parental separation, but parenting stress is counteracted by the inherent benefits of parenting including intrinsic feelings of warmth and love. The Parental Stress Scale (PSS) was created in 1995 to measure stress unique to parenting and captures both the joys and demands of parenting. The current study reviews two decades of research that incorporated the PSS. We present descriptive data from published studies that all used the same parenting stress measure and provide cross-study comparisons. The studies we review evidence diverse use of the PSS in eight countries and PSS translation into four languages. This review is intended to aid future researchers with interpretation of relative differences in descriptive statistics of parenting stress by providing descriptive data from different samples worldwide.

<p align="center">ABSTRACT</p><p>This study aims to determine the effect of prophetic parenting training in reducing parenting stress in mothers with children with disabilities. This study involved 7 mothers of children with disability that had parenting stress from the moderate to very high parental stress scores. The seven mothers were divided into two groups, 3 in the experimental group and 4 in the control one. Prophetic parenting training was carried out four times within a two-hour session. Parenting stress was measured using the parenting stress scale from Abidin (Ahern, 2004) adapted by Kurniawan (2012) with a total of 36 items and coefficient α=0.82. Pretest were done before training, posttest 1 was done after training, and posttest 2 was done two weeks after training. The result analysis of friedman test showed that score of p=0.043 (p&lt;0.05). Mann whitney test showed that the measurement of posttes 1 with the score of p=0.054 (p&gt;0.05) and postest 2 with the score of p=0.017 (p&lt;0.05). Hence, it be concluded that the prophetic parenting training has brought the significant effect on the reduction of parenting stress among mothers with the child with disabilities (blind) after getting the time to practice prophetic parenting. The qualitative analisys also supported the result by showing a positive change experienced by each subject in the emotional, behavioral, and spiritual aspect.</p><p> </p><p>Keywords: prophetic parenting training, parenting stress, chld with disability (blind)</p><p align="center"><strong>ABSTRAK </strong></p><p>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pelatihan <em>prophetic parenting </em>dalam menurunkan stres pengasuhan pada ibu dengan anak disabilitas (tunanetra) Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah 7 ibu dari anak disabilitas tunanetra yang memiliki skor stres pengasuhan dengan kategori sedang hingga sangat tinggi.

ABSTRACTPreschool-age and school-age are phases that have different parenting challenges, which can trigger parenting stress on mothers. This study aimed to examine the parenting stress differences between mothers of preschoolers and mothers of school-aged children. This research used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Parenting stress is measured through the Parental Stress Scale (PSS) instrument. This study involved 249 respondents who were selected through convenience sampling methods. Analysis of the different tests with the Mann Withney technique showed that there were significant differences in parenting stress from the two groups. Mothers of school-aged children are found to experience higher parenting stress than mothers of preschool-aged children. Further studies involving culture-related variables and longitudinal design are suggested.  ABSTRAKUsia prasekolah dan usia sekolah dasar merupakan fase yang memiliki tantangan pengasuhan yang berbeda, yang dapat memicu stres pengasuhan pada Ibu.

Parenting is an important process, and the processes in each phase are challenging, particularly during the phase of early childhood. The challenges in parenting could trigger parenting stress. The ability to give full attention to the conducted parenting process can help parents in coping the parental stress. The process of giving full attention to parenting activities is known as the mindful parenting concept. This study aims to determine the role of mindful parenting to parenting stress of mothers with a child at an early age. This study used a quantitative method.  A Mindfulness in Parenting Questionnaire (28 items, α = .915) and Parental Stress Scale (18 items, α = .705) were given to the respondents. The data was collected from 281 respondents (ages 21-54 years, M = 32.75, SD = 5), which was selected through incidental sampling methods. Based on the regression analysis, the results show that mindful parenting has a significant contribution to the low parenting stress level  in mothers with child at early age (R = -.260, R2 = .068, β = -0.119, F (1, 280) = 20.153, p < 0.01). This result suggests that mindful parenting skills can be an alternative way to reduce parental stress on mothers with a child in early childhood.

Abstract Objective: To identify the level of stress and the most stressful situations for the parents of newborns hospitalized in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Methods: A descriptive study, with a quantitative approach, performed with parents of newborns admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. For the data collection, the Brazilian version of the Parental Stress Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PSS: NICU) was used. The analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. Results: The change in the role of mother/father was the subscale in which the highest level of stress was obtained (mean=3.49) and the items considered more stressful in this subscale were "Separated from my baby" (mean=4.00) and "Feeling helpless and unable to protect my baby from pain and painful procedures" (mean=3.78). Conclusion: Hospitalization of a child in a neonatal unit is a stressful experience for parents and there are situations that trigger higher levels of stress.

This article discusses how people with multiple sclerosis (MS) perceive an energy conservation (EC) course. The study included 140 people with MS who reported fatigue secondary to MS and participated in a randomized controlled trial of an EC course. Descriptive data from course evaluations collected during the trial were analyzed to determine how participants perceived the quality and helpfulness of the course and ways to improve it. Descriptive statistics, percentages, and frequency of comments demonstrated that the course was rated highly among participants. Participants found the major concepts of the course and the opportunity to interact with others particularly helpful. Suggestions as to how to improve the course included small modifications to the format. The high rate of participant satisfaction supports the use of this EC course for people with MS.

Parenting Stress Index

With increasing attention on the role of parenting stress on family functioning and children’s development, one area that has been neglected is how such relations differ across cultures. Although sometimes viewed as homogeneous, Asian countries often have markedly different belief systems. Cross-cultural studies require instruments that have been validated in different socio-cultural contexts. The widely used parenting stress index-short form (PSI-SF) has been used in several locations. However, results regarding its factorial structure have been mixed. Furthermore, there are only a few cross-cultural comparison studies. This study examined the factorial structure of an abridged version of the PSI-SF with data from Hong Kong (N = 258) and Thailand (N = 190). The results from confirmatory factor analyses indicated that, in both cultures, a three-factorial structure provides the best model fit. Furthermore, we found evidence for partial metric invariance, suggesting that the test scores can be compared directly. Tests for convergent and discriminant validity revealed that the three factors were correlated with parent general distress, authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting behaviors, in both cultures. These findings suggest that the abridged PSI-SF can provide a meaningful comparison of parenting stress between Hong Kong and Thailand.
