Abstract
This research had two purposes: (1) to identify determinants of parenting stress in caregivers of children with CP using a cross-sectional design, and (2) to follow-up parenting stress and its determinants for two years.
The Chinese version of Parenting Stress Index short form (PSI/SF-C) was used to assess parenting stress, comprising of three domains, caregiver-related stress, child-related stress, and stress in the caregiver-child relationship. Three separate multiple linear regression models were conducted to identify the determinants of three domains of the PSI/SF-C. Potential determinants encompassed three domains: child-related factors, caregiver-related factors, and environmental factors. Three Generalized estimating equations (GEEs) were used to assess the repeated measures of three domains of the PSI/SF-C and their determinants identified at the entry point.
Multiple regression model analyses revealed that different domains of the PSI/SF-C had different determinants, but determinants of each domain of the PSI/SF-C encompassed child-related, caregiver-related, and environmental factors. Particularly, cognitive approach coping pattern was the common determinant shared by all three domains of parenting stress.
GEEs analyses revealed that all three domains of parenting stress had no significant changes over the two years. Significant associations between three domains of the PSI/SF-C and their determinants identified at the entry point were found. In addition, the association between caregiver-related stress and prosocial behavior changed from positive to negative at Time 2. The association between peer problems and stress in the caregiver-child relationship increased. Findings of the research help clinicians plan appropriate preventions and interventions on parenting stress from both cross-sectional and longitudinal perspectives.
