摘要

Foreign research has often shown that parents of children with development disabilities have to bear greater stress in terms of child-education (hereinafter as parental stress) than parents of normal children. The main objectives of this research are as follows: (1) To test and verify that parents of children with development disabilities experience higher levels of parental stress than parents of normal children. (2) To test and verify that the amount of parental stress will be influenced by conditions of the mother such as working status. Our research uses a specimen of 30 mothers of children with development disabilities and 30 mothers of normal kindergarten children to measure amounts of stress faced by these two differing groups. Data was collected by having the two groups to complete the stress measurement forms. Results: (1) In regards to the total parental stress amount, a marked difference was revealed (t=3.815, p＜0.05); parents of children with development disabilities showed and average of 285 points while parents of normal kindergarten children showed an average of 244 points. (2) In regards to other categories, there was not a difference measurable by our standards, except in the category of ”mother's working status” which showed a clear difference (F=22.6, p＜0.05). These results reveal that parents of children with development disabilities have higher stress load totals. Moreover it shows that the mother's work status also as an influence on the of parental stress levels of such mothers. This research is among the first of its kind in parental stress research. We hope its results can be used as a reference in constructing related measurement-forms in the future.
