본 연구는 장애아동을 둔 어머니의 우울수준과 부모효능감에 관한 연구로 지적장애아동의 어머니와 뇌병변장애 어머니의 우울수준을 비교했으며, 두 집단에 모두 가벼운 우울상태를 보였으나 통계학적 유의미한 차이는 없었다. 두 집단의 부모효능감 또한 유의미한 차이를 보이지는 않았으나 인구사회학적 특성에 따른 부모효능감 관계에서 가족수와 자조 모임 참여여부 변인이 유의미한 차이를 나타냈다. 지적장애아동 어머니 중에서 자조모임에 참여하는 경우가 참여하지 않은 경우보다 부모효능감이 더 높게 나타났으나 뇌병변장애 아동 어머니 중에서 자조모임에 참여하지 않는 어머니의 부모효능감이 더 높게 나타났다. 우울수준과 효능감의 상관관계에서는 부모효능감이 높을수록 우울수준이 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 부모효능감을 하위유형인 좌절감과 관심으로 나누어 비교하였을 때 부모효능감이 높을수록 좌절감은 낮고, 관심은 높은 것으로 나타났다.

A serious disease in a family influences the entire family member given the fact that the members closely interact with each other. Especially in terms of pediatric nursing, study on family gains importance as the need to care of families whose children with developmental disabilities and chronic disease This study was done based on The Resiliency Model of Family Adjustment and Adaptation(McCubbin, 1991) is intended to examine the stress of parents whose children suffer from cleft lip or /and cleft palate. It also helps them to cope with the stress and analyze the relationship between the stress and coping This study used Family Inventory of Life Events and Changes (FILE) and Coping Health Inventory for Parents(CHIP) for measuring family stress and coping. The two instruments are revised to fit the social and cultural environment of Korean culture. Data collection was done from April 18, 1996 to May 18, 1996 at 8 University medical centers located in Seoul. Those who answered questionnaires were 84 parents whose children have cleft lip or /and cleft palate. SPSS PC+ was used to analyze the data collotted. Programs used for data analysis were t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient. The study is summarized as follows .1. The average score of family stress is 10.46(percentage of the full score 24.90) and 'finance and business strains'(3.25), and 'intrafamily strains'(2.65) ranked the highest. The average score of family's coping is 1.93, which is close to the answer of' moderately helpful' and they are measured to put their utmost efforts to' intergration and cooperation of family and optimistic definition on the situation'. 2. There is no significant statistical correlation between the family stress and coping. 3. Mothers show more stress than fathers in the parts of 'illness and family care strains' and 'losses'(t〓-2.34, t〓-2.32, p<.05). 4. Fathers show more willingness to cope with the stress than mothers do in the parts of' seeking social support','self-esteem','emotional comfort' 5. Mothers are more stress than fathers in the parts of family stress and its coping with it by usual traits(t〓-2.78, p<.05). Parents with religion are measured to cope more willingly than those who are not 6. Income of a family shows positive correlationship with family coping (r〓.28, p<.05). The study shows that gender difference is significant variable in studying on family stress and coping. Mothers get more stress than fathers, which has much to do with the fact that they are in charge of raising children and keeping houseworks. Accordingly, managing family crisis and its survival can be induced by giving support for the mothers, studying fathers including the rest of the family members and giving nursing care and arbitration ; religious background is also considered to be one of the important factors in family stress , judging from the relationship between family income and family's coping, caring given to suffering children is needed on societal levels. The above considerations bring up the need to have a longitudinal study of children with congenital anomaly including cleft lip or /and cleft palate and their families about family stress and coping. Resiliency programs on family system and their effectiveness and the relationship between the enlarged families with social and cultural values reflecting Korean tradition are also needed to be studied.
