One of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the education and family sector is that children are required to study from home (SFH) or online. This condition makes the burden of a mother's responsibility increase because she has to be both a mother and a teacher for her children, where these demands cause mothers to experience parenting stress. This study aims to determine how big the contribution of Islamic religious coping variables and partner support to parenting stress. This study used quantitative research methods with a three-variable correlation research design. The research respondents were 319 mothers in Indonesia with an age range between 26 and 51 years old. The measuring instrument used is Islamic religious coping short-form (IRCS) Raiya (2008), Receipt of Spousal Support Scale (RSSS) from Dorio (2010), and the Parenting Stress Scale (PSS) from Berry and Jones (1995). The research data were analyzed using the SPSS 26 statistical analysis program with multiple linear regression test techniques to answer the research hypothesis. The results showed that there was a significant negative contribution of Islamic religious coping and partner support to parenting stress for mothers who accompanied SFH children in the COVID-19 pandemic situation.

ObjectiveKawasaki disease (KD) is an acute form of febrile vasculitis that occurs in early childhood. The multisystemic vasculitis common in patients with KD may influence blood perfusion in the brain, and thus caregivers of children with KD may feel stress with regard to caring for them. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) infusion is the standard treatment for acute KD, and the most serious complication of KD is coronary artery aneurysms (coronary artery lesion (CAL)). This study aimed to investigate the relationships between KD heterogeneity and the risk of patients’ cognitive impairment or caregivers’ parenting stress.DesignA case–control study with consecutive sampling.SettingA medical centre (Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan).ParticipantsThis study consisted of 176 patients with KD (mean age: 5.5 years, 60.8% boys) and 85 healthy children (mean age: 6.4 years, 54.1% boys).Primary and secondary outcome measuresBased on the children’s age, each patient with KD and control subject was administered an assessment using the Mullen Scales of Early Learning or the Wechsler Intelligence Scale, and parenting function of their caregivers was assessed using the Parenting Stress Index (PSI)-Short Form.ResultsWe observed no significant differences in any developmental index, cognitive function or parenting stress between patients with KD and controls. Among the children with KD, IVIG administration nor CAL was associated with children’s cognitive scores. However, the caregivers of patients who had CAL suffered from greater PSI total scores than those of patients without CAL. Furthermore, the caregivers who had education levels of a master’s degree or above showed less parenting stress than those who had an education level of college or lower.ConclusionCaregivers’ education is associated to parenting stress, and caregivers of patients with KD who developed CAL may feel stress about the unpredictable sequela caused by CAL for their children. Such caregivers may require support to fulfil their parenting roles.

Introdução: O Reiki figura atualmente como uma das técnicas integrativas e complementares de maior uso e interesse no mundo. Sua utilização crescente vem chamando a atenção da ciência, que busca investigar seus possíveis efeitos a fim de verificar e disponibilizar aos seus usuários informações a respeito de sua eficácia e segurança. Entre os recursos utilizados nestas avaliações estão cada vez mais presentes as escalas psicométricas, que buscam mensurar aspectos subjetivos da natureza do ser humano, como níveis de ansiedade, depressão, stress e qualidade de vida. Objetivo: Descrever as principais escalas psicométricas utilizadas em ensaios clínicos que investigaram os possíveis efeitos do Reiki, analisando seu papel diagnóstico nestes estudos. Método: A partir dos descritores “Reiki” e “Scales”, foi realizada revisão e análise de artigos publicados, nos últimos 10 anos, nas bases de dados PubMed, Scielo e Bireme, que utilizaram-se de escalas psicométricas na avaliação dos possíveis efeitos do Reiki. Resultados: 18 estudos utilizaram-se de escalas psicométricas, como o Functional Independence Measure, aplicado a pacientes em reabilitação de AVE, o Wong-Baker Smiley Face Scale, utilizado para mensurar níveis de bem estar e dor, o Geriatric Depression Scale Short Form, para mensuração de depressão em idosos, além de instrumentos de avaliação de ansiedade, depressão, stress, desesperança, qualidade de vida e de sono, como Hospital Anxiety and Stress Scale, StateTrait Anxiety Inventory, Perceived Stress Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, World Health Organization for Quality of life, Beck Hopelessness Scale, Illness Symptoms Questionnaire, Visual Analog Scale e o Pittsburgh Quality of Sleep Index. Conclusões: Não existe um consenso na literatura a respeito da escala psicométrica que seja mais apropriada a cada variável, devido às suas respectivas especificidades e níveis de sensibilidade. Atualmente, onde se discute o estabelecimento de um padrão ouro para pesquisas que abordem as práticas integrativas também são polêmicas as discussões a respeito do emprego correto destas ferramentas.

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.

Stressful working conditions are correlated with a negative impact on the well-being of nurses, job satisfaction, quality of patient care and the health of the staff. The Nursing Stress Scale (NSS) has been shown to be a valid and reliable instrument to assess occupational stressors among nurses. This study updates the psychometric properties of the “NSS-Spanish version” and validates a short-form version. A cross-sectional design was carried out for this study. A reliability analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis and an exploratory factor analysis were undertaken. Items were systematically identified for reduction using statistical and theoretical analysis. Correlation testing and criterion validity confirmed scale equivalence. A total of 2195 Registered Nurses and 1914 Licensed Practical Nurses were enrolled. The original 34-item scale obtained a good internal consistency but an unsatisfactory confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis. The short-form Nursing Stress Scale (11-items) obtained a good internal consistency for Registered Nurses (α = 0.83) and for Licensed Practical Nurses (α = 0.79). Both Nursing Stress Scales obtained a strong correlation for Registered Nurses (rho = 0.904) and for Licensed Practical Nurses (rho = 0.888). The 11-item version of the Nursing Stress Scale is a valid and reliable scale to assess stress perception among Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses. Its short-form nature improves the psychometric properties and the feasibility of the tool.

We investigated relationships between nonparental care and psychological strains of parenthood. Using data from employed parents of children below 5 years of age ( n = 6,886 fathers and mothers) from Waves 4 to 11 of the household panel survey Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA), we constructed a parenting stress scale from the average of four items (α = .76) administered in the Self-Completion Questionnaire. We ran panel random-effects regression models testing associations between amount and type of nonparental care and parenting stress, for both mothers and fathers. We distinguished between formal care, informal and family care (mainly grandparents), and mixed care. Results showed that fathers and mothers’ parenting stress is positively associated with hours of nonparental care, but that for both genders parenting stress is significantly lower if the care is provided by informal/family carers.

Objective: Postpartum depression has been associated with parenting stress, impacting attachment and child development. However, the relation between antenatal depression or anxiety and postpartum parenting stress has not been investigated. We studied the effect of antenatal depression and anxiety and treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (antidepressants [ADs]) on postpartum parenting stress. Method: Ninety-four pregnant women (part of a larger study examining prenatal AD exposure on infants) were prospectively monitored for depression and anxiety during the third trimester and 3- and 6-months postpartum using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale. Parenting stress was assessed using the Parenting Stress Index—Short Form at 3- and 6-months postpartum. Results: Both antenatal third trimester depression and anxiety were significant predictors of 3- and 6-month postpartum parenting stress, after controlling for maternal age, number of children, and exposure to prenatal ADs (all Ps < 0.001). Third trimester depression accounted for 13% to 22% of the variance in postpartum stress at 3 and 6 months. Prenatal AD use was not a significant predictor in any of the models (all Ps > 0.2). Twenty of 41 mothers on ADs achieved remission (HDRS = 7) in pregnancy and had average parenting stress scores of about 1 standard deviation lower than those who did not at 3- and 6-months postpartum ( t = 3.32, df = 32, P = 0.002 and t = 2.52, df = 32, P = 0.02, respectively). Conclusions: Our findings indicate that antenatal depression and anxiety directly impact postpartum parenting stress, regardless of antenatal AD treatment. Ongoing maternal mental illness in pregnancy is an important predictor of postpartum parenting stress. Early recognition and treatment to remission is key.
