The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating effect of self-esteem on the association between social support and parenting efficacy as perceived by disabled children’s mothers. For this study, 400 mothers currently using special-education classes, special-education schools, special daycare centers, and community rehabilitation centers were selected. They were requested to take a questionnaire, and after excluding insincere responses, the data of 238 mothers were analyzed for levels of self-esteem, social support, and parenting efficacy. All data were analyzed using the SPSS 20.0 to estimate the correlation among the main variables, while a hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to verify the mediating effect of self-esteem. The result of the analysis showed that, first, a significant correlation existed among self-esteem, social support, and parenting efficacy perceived by disabled children’s mothers; and second, self-esteem exhibited complete mediating effects on the association between social support and parenting efficacy perceived by disabled children’s mothers. Based on the findings, the present study suggests that further studies should address the need for improving self-esteem so as to enhance the parenting efficacy in disabled children’s mothers.
