“…33 Because the scores for the different coping strategies are comprised of a varying number of items, and thus not comparable, a standardized total score was calculated dividing the total score by the number of items for each of the three categories. The Italian version has demonstrated good reliability and internal consistency and has been previously used in studies on MS. 34,35…”

Objective To identify factors that influence the perception parents with multiple sclerosis have of their competence in parenting. Method/design Subjects were parents of a child with a maximum of 18 years of age recruited through a national multiple sclerosis organization’s social media channels. Data on demographic and disease information, mood, coping, quality of life and perceived social support were collected using an anonymous online questionnaire. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess associations between these variables and subjects’ perception of parenting sense of competence. Results The sample consisted of 285 parents with multiple sclerosis, with a mean age of 41 years and a mean disease duration of 10.4 years. In the multivariate analysis, independent determinants of lower parenting sense of competence were anxiety ( p = 0.012), depression ( p = 0.001) and dysfunctional coping ( p = 0.005). Problem-focused coping ( p = 0.029) and higher physical and mental scores on the SF-12 ( p = 0.006, p < 0.001, respectively) were related to a higher parenting sense of competence. Higher parent age correlated with a lower sense of parenting competence ( p = 0.002). Conclusions The perception parents with multiple sclerosis have of their parenting competence was most strongly correlated with mood, coping strategies and health-related quality of life, factors that are potentially modifiable.

Background Parenting sense of competence is not only indispensable to the wellbeing of the parents of premature infants, but is also pivotal to the overall development of these infants. This study examined the level of parenting sense of competence and its associated factors in Chinese parents of preterm infants. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed at a university teaching hospital in Fuzhou (China) from December 2021 to April 2022. Data were collected using the Parenting Sense of Competence Scale, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Social Support Rating Scale, Parenting Care Knowledge Subscale, Parenting Care Skill Subscale, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Results A total of 401 Chinese parents were included in the analysis. The average parenting sense of competence scale score was 70.93 ± 13.06. After controlling for demographic characteristics, parenting knowledge (β = 0.149, P = 0.013), parenting skills (β = 0.241, P < 0.001), social support (β = 0.184, P < 0.001) and depression (β = −0.272, P < 0.001), were significantly associated with the parenting sense of competence score, and explained 43.60% of the variance in this score. Conclusions Chinese parents of preterm infants were found to have a moderate parenting sense of competence. This could be further improved through efforts aimed at reducing depressive symptoms and increasing parenting knowledge, parenting skills, and social support.
