Abstract

This study aims to determine whether employment status moderates and mediates the effect of parenting stress on parenting efficacy through mental health and hope targeting women raising children and to find ways to improve parenting efficacy by utilizing mental health and hope. The survey was conducted nationwide, a purposive sampling method was used to select the survey subjects, and data were collected through a survey. The total number of subjects used in the final analysis was 300 women. Data were analyzed by applying frequency analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and moderated mediation effect analysis. The results of the study are as follows. First, as a result of correlation analysis, parenting stress showed a negative correlation with mental health, hope, employment status, and parenting efficacy. On the other hand, other variables except parenting stress showed positive correlations with each other. Second, employment status moderated and mediated the effect of parenting stress on parenting efficacy through mental health and hope. In other words, employment status played a buffering role in reducing the negative impact of parenting stress on parenting efficacy through mental health and hope. Based on these results, a plan to protect parenting efficacy was proposed.

본 연구는 자녀를 양육하는 여성을 대상으로 양육 스트레스가 정신건강과 희망을 경유하여 양육 효능감에 미치는 영향을 취업 여부가 조절 매개하는지를 확인하고 정신건강과 희망을 활용하여 양육효능감을 증진시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시하는 데 연구의 목적이 있다. 조사 지역은 전국을 대상으로 하였으며, 조사 대상의 표집은 의도적 표집 방법을 적용하였고, 자료수집은 설문조사로 하였다. 최종 분석에 활용된 전체 대상자의 수는 300명이었다. 자료는 빈도 분석, 신뢰도 분석, 상관관계 분석 및 조절된 매개효과분석을 적용하여 분석하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 상관분석 결과 양육 스트레스는 정신건강, 희망, 취업 여부 및 양육 효능감과 부적인 상관관계를 보였다. 반면 양육 스트레스를 제외한 다른 변수들은 서로 정적인 상관관계를 보였다. 둘째, 취업 여부는 양육 스트레스가 정신건강과 희망을 경유하여 양육 효능감에 미치는 영향을 조절 매개하였다. 즉, 취업 여부는 양육 스트레스가 정신건강과 희망을 경유하여 양육 효능감에 미치는 부적 영향을 감소시키는 완충 역할을 하였다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 양육 효능감을 보호할 수 있는 방안을 제언하였다.
