Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of self-efficacy on parenting stress among parents of children with malignant solid tumors.
MethodsTotally 100 parents of children with malignant solid tumors were investigated and analyzed by using the general questionnaire, parenting stress Index-Short Form(PSI-SF) and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES).
ResultsThe score of general self-efficacy for parents was 1.93±0.54, and the total score of parenting stress was 111.84±13.36. The general self-efficacy and parenting stress scores of parents with malignant solid tumors were significantly negatively correlated with the scores of parental misery, parent-child relationship and difficult children (r=-0.72, -0.65, -0.62 -0.55, all P<0.01). Hierarchical logistic regression analysis indicates that the parenting stress was influenced by self-efficacy, the gender of parents, education level and whether or not on position.
ConclusionsSelf-efficacy is one of the most critical influencing factors on parenting stress of parents.A new approach to improve the self-efficacy is to be achieved to reduce the parenting stress level among parents of children with solid tumors.
Key words:
