| Abstract | A study was undertaken to examine the relationship among parenting stress, maternal and child health, and medical utilization. Participants were patients from a large group pediatric practice. Mothers (N=56) of patients completed the Parenting Stress Index. Twelve months after completion of the Parenting Stress Index, subjects were assessed using the: (1) General Health Rating, which measured subjects' perception of their health status; (2) Medical Utilization for the Child, which gave frequency counts from the child's medical chart; (3) Mother's Health Care Seeking Behaviors, which measured the mother's report of her use of medical services; (4) Mother's Illness-Related Behaviors, which consisted of mother's monthly mean report of days in bed, non-prescription medicines used, etcetera; and (5) Traumatic Injuries, which gave frequency counts from child's medical charts. The results showed that maternal level of parenting stress appeared unrelated to obtaining medical services for young children. Inappropriate medical utilizaiton rates based on maternal stress did not occur for very young children. Maternal level of parenting stress was related to high rates of maternal use of medical services, illness-related behaviors, and maternal perceptions of health status. Low and moderate stress levels were not related to illness behaviors. Parenting stress was not shown to be related to traumatic injuries of the children, possibly due to the young age of this group of children, who were 12-24 months old when the observations were made. The Parenting Stress Index may be used in identifying parents under excessive stress who may later exhibit illness behavior. (ABL) |
