Abstract

This descriptive survey aimed to identify factors influencing parenting stress among female married nurses with young children. Multiple regression analysis were conducted using the data obtained from 132 surveys. The variables influencing parenting stress were found to be, in order, work-family balance (β=-.356, p<.001) and “Me Time” (β=-.195, p=.016), with an explanatory power of 16%. Spousal involvement in childcare did not significantly correlate with parenting stress. However, satisfaction with childcare assistance from sources other than the spouse revealed a significant difference, indicating that having satisfactory childcare support, even if not for the spouse, can reduce parenting stress. Female married nurses with young children require support to secure sufficient “Me Time” between juggling work and family along with childcare. In particular, strengthen the social support system is needed that people can maintain their identity through “Me Time.”
