“…Among control variables, the child's disorder severity and mother's education level were significantly associated with mothers' life satisfaction. This is in line with previous studies showing that disabled children's mothers' life satisfaction is affected by the severity of the child's disorder (Jung & Park, ; Yoon & Jeong, ) and their educational level (Lee, ; Park et al, ). When mothers of children with disabilities have a higher educational level, they are more likely to have an optimistic attitude to their children achieving positive changes through treatment and education (Park & Chang, ).…”

“…Under the influence of a traditional patriarchal family environment, a strict father disciplining the child and a loving mother providing care for the child are often observed in a typical South Korean family. Therefore, mothers are considered mostly responsible for childrearing, and there is evidence to suggest that mothers are more at risk for child‐rearing stress than fathers because they are often the child's primary caregiver (Hassall, Rose, & McDonald, ; Park, Chung, Seo, & Kim, ; Pelchat, Bisson, Bois, & Saucier, ; Wang et al, ). Owing to this cultural influence, the mother often bears more parenting responsibility than the father when a child faces physical or mental difficulties.…”

“…Owing to this cultural influence, the mother often bears more parenting responsibility than the father when a child faces physical or mental difficulties. It may be inferred that Korean mothers of children with disabilities often report more problems than fathers (Cho & Hong, ; Han, Park, & Yi, ; Park et al, ). While the significance of a mother's care for children with disabilities is commonly acknowledged in society, the availability of active social support to ease mothers’ roles in parenting children with disabilities may be insufficient.…”

Background With growing interest in parenting stress among mothers of children with disabilities, the current study examined the multidimensional aspects of parenting stress and their impact on life satisfaction among Korean mothers of children with disabilities. Based on the suggestions of prior findings concerning the potential role of intrapersonal resources on moderating parenting stress, the study focused on intrinsic religious orientation as one of the intrapersonal resources. Method Participants completed measures of three types of parenting stress (parental distress, parent–child dysfunctional interaction and difficult child), life satisfaction and religious orientation. Results Two subscales of parenting stress (i.e., parental distress and difficult child) had negative associations with life satisfaction. Intrinsic religious orientation weakened the relationship between parental distress and life satisfaction, especially among individuals who held moderate and high levels of intrinsic religious orientation. Conclusion These findings indicate the existence of differential associations between parenting stress type and life satisfaction in Korean mothers of children with disabilities. The current findings also identified the interrelationships between the religious resources and maternal parenting stress of children with disabilities. Intrapersonal religious resources have the potential to counterbalance the negative impact of maternal distress.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effect of mother-child identification on the relationship between work-child education conflict and parenting role competence. Methods: Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical regression were used to analyze data on 155 mothers of children aged 8 years from the Panel Study of Korean Parental Educational Involvement (PSKPEI) in 2018 (2nd year). Results: First, the work-child education conflict of mothers had a significant negative influence on their parenting role competence. Second, the mother-child identification had a significant positive effect on their parenting role competence. Finally, the moderating effect of work-child education conflict and mother-child identification on parenting role competence was significant. A working mother with a high level of mother-child identification represented a relatively high level of parenting role competence, even though they experienced severe work-child education conflict. Conclusion: In the background of a Korean culture where parents identify with their children, this study revealed how much working mothers are willing to make sacrifices for their children, even though work-child education is incompatible. It also proposed the need for policy and social support to assist them as parents.
