The Effect of Social Support on Parenting Stress among Families in Poverty: focused on children's age and environmental risk factors

Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of social support on parenting stress in low-income families, focused on children's age and environmental risk factors. Mothers of 300 children(157 boys and 143 girls; 159 children aged 0-5 years and 141 children aged 6-11 years) enrolled in Dream Start, a public assistance program for low income families, were assessed with the Korean version of the Parenting Stress Index Short Form(PSI-SF) and Multidimensional Scale of Percieved Social Support. Environmental risk factors were also assessed. The results showed that the effect of social support on parenting stress decreased with age. Furthermore, environmental risk factor had a moderating effect of social support on parenting stress, and social support for mothers of younger children emerged as important protective factor, while protective function of social support appeared to be important for mothers of older children only with low environmental risk factors. The results were discussed in terms of implications for preventive intervention programs for mothers in poverty.
