This article examined the concepts of parenting self-efficacy, parenting confidence, and competence. Using Morse's method of concept delineation, a literature review of each concept was conducted to uncover commonalities, distinctions, and measurement overlaps between concepts and provide conceptual boundaries. Findings revealed that parenting confidence and parenting self-efficacy describe a parents' internal attribution or beliefs about their ability to engage in parenting behaviors. Both terms have similar antecedents, attributes, and consequences, whereas competence is a concept that should be used as an objective measure by someone other than the parent to assess parenting quality.

“…Personal uniqueness and freedom, within such a perspective is not impossible but it is difficult and unusual. One recent study (Fonseca, Nazare, & Canavarro, 2013), found that fathers of children with congenital anomalies in Portugal had somewhat higher levels of knowledge of their child’s needs, motivations, and they had greater parenting confidence than did fathers in a control group whose children were not born with significant health or developmental issues, the reverse was true for the mothers. These authors concluded that fathers of children who are significantly different from themselves may end up more engaged in parenting than other fathers.…”

The following article provides an updated discussion on two Parse grounded exploratory descriptive studies in light to her recently added humanbecoming family model. The comments of the fathers and siblings from the studies reveal that family life is unpredictable and that family relationships are paradoxical evolutional emergences of shifting hopes and dreams. The humanbecoming family model provided a useful way to consider fathering and being a sibling, as unexpected unfoldings of joy-sorrow reveal purposeful new possibilities. It guides health professionals to avoid the imposition of their views on what is best for the family in favor of bearing witness to the suffering and disappointments that unfold in family life. It is important to remain open to families' sources of meaning, courage, and hope in the moment.

“…Support would assist parents to modulate their responses and assist in adaptive processes where there is a high risk of psychological maladaptation. Numerous other studies have also identified the need for early interventions 4,5,7,34 . Helfricht et al (2008) 35 found that acute symptoms of PTSD shortly after discharge, in parents of children aged 0-16 years undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass, were a major risk factor for the development of chronic PTSD; their recommendations reflect the implications for practice recommended here.…”
