Abstract
This study attempted to investigate the mediating effects of parental role stress and parental burnout on the relationship between mother’s COVID-19 stress and depression and the moderating effect of social support on these relationships. To this end, data were collected from 305 mothers raising children who were elementary school students. Data were analyzed with SPSS 23.0 program and AMOS 23.0 program of multi-group comparison. Analysis results are as follows. First, mother’s COVID-19 stress directly affected parental role stress, parental burnout and depression. Second, mother’s parental role stress and parental burnout mediated the relationship between COVID-19 stress and depression. Third, as a result of examining the moderating effect by classifying social support sub-variables by group, emotional support, informational support, and material support showed higher parental role stress and mother depression than the high group. In addition, the group with high informational and material support showed a stronger effect of parental burnout on mother’s depression than the group with low informational and material support. Based on these results, implications and suggestions are presented.
