ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to identify the effects of parenting effectiveness, husband's parenting cooperation, and social support on a mother's parenting stress. The data were collected from August 2 to 30, 2018 by using a structured questionnaire. There was a total of 279 subjects from the online community and the data were analyzed using the SPSS 21 program. The objectives of the study were the following: determine if there is a difference in parenting stress according to the characteristics of the research subject; identify the relationships between key variables; identify the factors that influence parenting stress. According to the results of the study, the mother's parenting stress was influenced by the distress of her parents, the adverse functional interaction of her parents and children, and the effectiveness of parenting in difficult children. These results are meaningful in that they may be used as basic data for various studies that aim to ease the parenting stress of mothers raising infants.
