Abstract Objective This study aims to determine the effect of parenting stress and co-parenting on marital conflict and the actor and partner effects of parental variables and to identify the control effect based on the mother’s employment status. Method In this study, among all children who participated in the panel study and health questionnaire survey, 161 fathers and 161 mothers raising seven-year-old children recently treated for atopic dermatitis for 12 months were selected as the final study participants. Results The father’s parenting stress had an actor and a partner effect on the co-parenting, and the mother’s parenting stress had an actor and a partner effect on the co-parenting. The father’s parenting stress only had an actor effect on the marital conflict(β=.32, p<.001). The father’s co-parenting had an actor(β=-.29, p<.001) and a partner effect(β=-.22, p<.001) on the marital conflict, and the mother’s co-parenting had an actor(β=-.39, p<.001) and a partner(β=-.19, p<.001) effect on the marital conflict. There were statistically significant differences between two groups in terms of the path coefficient of the father’s parenting stress affecting father’s marital conflict, path coefficient of the father’s co-parenting affecting father’s marital conflict, and path coefficient of the mother’s co-parenting affecting father’s marital conflict Conclusions This study is meaningful in providing basic data for the development of an atopic dermatitis family management program by investigating the actor and partner effects of parenting stress and co-parenting on marital conflict as well as the control effect based on the mother’s employment status.
