This study was conducted to develop a Parenting Stress Scale that measures the day-to-day difficulties entailed in parenting for school-aged children. First, sixty seven items were collected as a baseline. Some of these items were pooled from existing parenting stress scales(Abidin, 1990; Kim & Kang, 1997), and the rest were generated based on interviews with parents of school-aged children. Secondly, Chi-Square tests were conducted and framer's V coefficients were calculated to determine the goodness-of-fit of the items. Twenty four items were selected from this step. The results of a factor analysis on these 24 items revealed two dimensions of this new Parenting Stress Scale, namely, 'school-related parenting stress' and 'general everyday life stress'. A test of construct validity also showed that this scale has adequate internal consistency.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of satisfaction with workplace child-care on the parenting stress, job commitment, and job satisfaction of parents. The questionnaires survey of this study was conducted on 185 parent-employees (97 fathers & 88 mothers) who used employer-supported child-care in the province of Kyungki-do. The results of this study were as follows: As the level of satisfaction with workplace child-care became higher, the level of parenting stress became lower. And as the level of satisfaction with workplace child-care became higher, the level of job commitment and job satisfaction became higher. Among five components of satisfaction with workplace child-care, satisfaction with the environment for child-care had an independent influence on parenting stress. And satisfaction with the management of child-care facility had an independent influence on job commitment and job satisfaction. This study suggested that education programs that target employers need to raise employers' awareness about the importance of workplace child-care in order to reduce parenting stress and to enhance job commitment and job satisfaction of parent-employees.

Methods : The subjects were 242 parents of children with disabilities under the age of 13 receiving treatment at rehabilitation centers for the disabled, rehabilitation hospitals, and child development centers located in D, B, and U metropolitan cities. Results : According to the result of analyzing the correlation between stress, anxiety, and depression that the parents of children with disabilities felt and the quality of their lives, the quality of their lives correlated negative with their stress, anxiety, and depression. In the case of the results according to the parents' general characteristics, stress showed a significant difference depending on the education level, monthly income, and anxiety showed a significant difference depending on child rearing time, occupation, and public transportation. Additionally, depression and the quality of life had a significant difference depending on child rearing time, education level, occupation, and monthly income. Conclusion : The results of this study identified the importance of the mental health of the parents of children with disabilities and the correlation between their mental health and quality of life. Social distancing and quarantine rules that children with disabilities must follow have limited their opportunities to receive education and treatment, so the influence of stress, anxiety, depression that the parents of children with disabilities who should continue to take care of their children should be considered.

This study aims to observe the impact of mothers' child-rearing stress on the development of 3-month-old, breastfeeding and non-breastfeeding infants. For this purpose, a survey based on the K-ASQ scale was conducted on a sample of 533 3-month-old infants and their mothers in the Seoul and Kyeong-gi area. The results of the study are as follows. First, breastfeeding mothers felt less child-rearing stress than their non-breastfeeding counterparts, especially in parent-role stress. Second, breastfeeding infants exhibited a better personal sociality than non-breastfeeding infants. Third, it was found that mothers' child-rearing stress had an impact on all aspects of infant development in breastfeeding infants, and especially in the development of communicational skills, having an impact of 12.4%. However, in non-breastfeeding infants, mothers' child-rearing stress had an impact only on communication and personal sociality development and exhibited a nonsignificant impact on other aspects. Lastly, it was found that mothers' parent-role stress, out of all aspects of child-rearing stress, was the main factor of negative impact on infant development in both breastfeeding and non-breastfeeding infants. Based on the results of this study, I have suggested family-level and society-level support measures to reduce mothers' parent-role stress and promote breastfeeding.
