Description
Introduction Although many studies have examined the stresses related to being a parent, few have studied the relationship between parenting stress and injury prevention in young children. Parenting stress can be defined as the difficulty that arises from the many demands of being a parent (Anthony, Anthony, Glanville, Naiman, Waanders, & Shaffer, 2005). Parenting stress has been linked to socioeconomic issues, family dysfunction, workplace demands, and lack of external support (Crnic & Low, 2002). Parenting children with special physical or mental health needs can also be a source of parenting stress (Tan & Rey, 2005; Virtanen, Moilanen, & Ihalainen, 1991). Parenting stress is particularly high in parents of preschool children when children become noncompliant (Kuczynski & Kochanska, 1990), especially for adolescent mothers with preschoolers (Chang, Fine, Ipsa, Thornburg, Sharp, & Wolfenstein, 2004; Larson, 2004). A structural modeling approach to the understanding of parenting stress revealed that a number of factors related directly to more stress, including high workload, low social support, perception of the child as fussy-difficult, negative life events, child caretaking hassles, a large number of children in the family, and high maternal age (Ostberg & Hagekull, 2000).
