Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine mediation effects of positive and negative family impact in the associations between parenting strain and post-traumatic growth(PTG) among mothers raising children with developmental disabilities in South Korea. This study surveyed 200 mothers raising children with developmental disabilities who participated in the programs run by welfare center in Gyeonggi and Incheon provinces. The results showed that the positive family impact fully mediated the relationships between self-evaluated parenting strain and PTG, while the negative impact did not mediate the relationship. These findings revealed that it would be an effective strategy to enhance the positive aspect of family to improve PTG of participants.
