Introduction:
Literature shows that infant distress and care-giving can be sources of stress of
primary care givers, especially for first-time mothers. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of
Dunstan baby Language in decreasing parenting stress among first time mothers compared with
those receiving standard newborn care alone.
Methods:
This research utilized a quasi-experimental approach, where 18 first-time mothers with
babies 0-2 months old were allocated to receive standard care plus Dunstan baby language training
or standard care alone. Maternal stress was measured at baseline and after the intervention period
with the Parental Stress Scale. The scores were compared within and between the two study arms.
A repeated measures mixed model was used for the Parental Stress Scale (PSS) results.
Results:
A total of 27 participants were enrolled in the study. The Dunstan baby language group had
18 participants, while the control group had 9 participants. An apparent decrease was noted in the
week 1 to week 2 and the week 2 to week 3 Parental Stress Scale scores in the Dunstan baby language
group compared with the control group which had minimal changes in their mean scores. The mean
difference between the two groups was not significant.
Conclusion
The use of Dunstan baby language in addition to standard care may decrease stress
among first time mothers with 0-2 month old babies.

2.Systematic Review of Parenting Style and Children's Emotional Intelligence: Recent Updates on Western and Non- Western Families
Malaysian Journal of Medicine and Health Sciences 2019;15(Supplement 1):147-152
Extant literature highlights certain comparisons between the effect of demanding parenting style in non-Western families (Muslims and non-Muslims) and that of the democratic type of parenting in Western counties on emotional intelligence, which contributes to improvements in mental health. A systematic review was conducted on original published articles using ‘parenting style’ and ‘emotional intelligence’ as keywords. Initial data collected from Google Scholar, Science Direct, Web of Science and PubMed were searched using the Rayyan software (26) for relevant articles written in English. However, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, only 28 articles (14 from each type of society, that is, non-Western and Western) were included in the review. Consequently, the review found that social environment, cultural, religious and economic conditions significantly predicted emotional intelligence

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental childhood disorder
associated with cognitive and language impairments. Previous research found
that children with developmental disorders increase parenting stress but parents
of children with ASD, specifically have recorded higher parenting stress than any
other developmental disabilities. Hence, this study investigates the difference in
parenting stress levels among parents of children with ASD compared to a typical
development (TD) control group. Parenting Stress Index, 3rd Edition Short Form was
used to assess the parenting stress levels of 30 parents of children with ASD and 36
parents of TD children. Parents of children with ASD were sampled at Universiti
Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC), Tangkak Hospital and National
Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM) in Muar and Segamat. Parents of children
with ASD recorded significantly higher levels of parenting stress compared to the
TD group (p<0.001). Parents of male children of ASD recorded significantly higher
levels of parenting stress compared to the parents of male children of TD group
(p<0.001). Parents of female children of ASD also recorded significantly higher levels
of parenting stress compared to parents of female children of TD group (p<0.001).
Intervention towards ASD children should not only focus on minimizing the core
symptoms but should also pay attention to the family’s mental health as well.

The purpose of this research was to study the relationship of academic achievement and impulsivity in children with
learning disorders with parenting strain and self-competence of their mothers. A sample of 70 students with learning
disorders along with their mothers was recruited for the study. Data were collected using the UPPS Impulsive Behavior
Scale, a modifi ed version of Zarit Burden Interview, Parent Sense of Competence Scale and each student’s grade point
average as an index of academic achievement. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coeffi cients and multiple
regression analysis. Findings revealed that academic achievement correlates signifi cantly and positively with mothers’ sense
of competence but negatively with their experience of parenting strain. Furthermore, children’s impulsivity was negatively
associated with mothers’ sense of competence but showed no relationship to parenting strain. Regression analysis indicated
that while children’s impulsivity predicted mothers’ sense of competence but not their parenting strain, children’s academic
achievement predicted both. Findings imply that when children with learning disorders are highly impulsive, their mothers
only report an incapability to cope with stress. But when children’s academic achievement is low, mothers tend to not only
experience increasing parenting stress but also report feeling overwhelmed by the stress. Findings imply that features of
children with learning disorders have a differential impact on the mental health of their mothers.

The Filipino Family Physician 2019;57(2):86-92
Background:
The family life cycle describes the stages of family development starting from the formation of the emerging adults to marriage, birth of children, growth into adolescents, adulthood and families in later life. The cycle includes individual developmental changes of family members, evolution of marital relationship and cyclic development of the evolving family unit. Presently, there is no study that describes the developmental tasks, structures and functions of Filipino families with young children.
Objective:
The objective of the study was to describe the developmental tasks, family structure and functions among selected Filipino families with young children.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to March 2016 on a total of 353 Filipino parents of families with young children ages 0-12 years old.
Results:
The extended type of family (65%) is more predominant than the nuclear type (35%) among the participants. A high Family APGAR score of 9.2 (SD ± 1.1) translated to highly functioning families with young children. Overall, the first order changes on financing, marital adjustments and extended family relationships were highly met except that on the unexpected costs of family life. For second order changes, there was a significant association of decline in intimacy over time among couples progress thru the life stages (X2 12.75, p-value 0.013). Partners were able to adjust the marital relationship mainly through communication and acceptance. The parenting roles were done most of the time except for the roles on inspiring children for nationalism and providing wholesome educational materials. Finally, almost all families with young children (99%) were able to align relationship with extended family members.
Conclusion
The selected Filipino families with young children mostly have an extended family structure and are highly functional. Overall, the first and second developmental tasks were accomplished in varying degrees.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing life satisfaction for mothers with children in elementary school. METHODS: Participants were 243 mothers with a child in first and fifth degree of one elementary school in G city. Data were collected from March 20 to April 9, 2010. The instruments used were Satisfaction with Life Scale, Parent Satisfaction Scale, Korean ADHD Rating Scale, Parenting Alliance Inventory and Scale for Measuring Family Strengths. The data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 14.0 computer program and included one-way ANOVA, Scheffe back-testing, Pearson's correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression. RESULTS: The life satisfaction of the mothers showed significantly positive correlations with parent role satisfaction, spousal support, and family strengths and negative correlations with ADHD. Significant predictors of life satisfaction for mothers with children in elementary school were spousal support and sharing of value systems, and these variables explained 37.0% of the variance in life satisfaction. CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that improvement of spousal support and sharing of the family value system should be helpful in promoting life satisfaction for mothers with children in elementary school.

Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing Administration 2016;22(1):33-45
PURPOSE: This study was conducted to generate a grounded substantive theory of the adaptation process of nurses who return to work after taking parental leave. METHODS: Individual in-depth interviews with 13 participants were conducted between June and September 2014. Participants were interviewed 1~3 times; interviews were continued until the data became saturated. Data were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory method. RESULTS: The core category of experience of the process of adaptation as a nurse who returned to work after parental leave was 'trying to regain one's previous position'. Participants used five interactional strategies: 'preparing in advance', 'initiating relationships with colleagues', 'keeping a positive attitude', 'understanding parenting helpers', 'Taking burden off one's mind'. CONCLUSION: The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for the adaptation process of nurses returning to work after taking parental leave. The importance of improving nurses' attitudes to their co-workers who take parental leave is highlighted along with the necessity of providing a family-friendly work environment. These results can be used to develop supportive policies and programs for nurses who return to their work after parental leave.

Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing Administration 2011;17(4):508-515
PURPOSE: The purposes of this study were to understand correlation of parenting stress and turnover intention of nurses, and to provide basic data for effective nursing management. METHODS: Subjects included 287 nurses who had children and worked in hospitals. Data were collected through organized questionnaires from September 1st to 30th 2010. Collected data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis using PASW statistics 18 program. RESULTS: The average score for parenting stress of the participants was 3.12 out of 5. Nurture stress was statistically different depending on age, job position, shift work, night duty and stages of family development. The average score for turnover intention of the participants was 3.34 out of 5. Turnover intention was statistically different depending on age, number of children and stages of family development. As a result of correlation analysis of parenting stress and turnover intention, turnover intention showed positive correlation with daily stress, stress caused from taking parent role and average parenting stress. CONCLUSION: This study indicates that parenting stress is related with turnover intention, nursing managers should make efforts to decrease parenting stress in order to reduce turnover intention of nurses.

METHODS: The subjects of this study were 792 high school students in Seoul. We assessed parenting behaviors perceived by adolescents and attachment type and quality of using Parenting Behavior Inventory, Self-report Attachment Style and Revised Adult Attachment Scale. RESULTS: 1) On the attachment pattern of adolescent, it revealed that 47.6% of the subjects were classified as "secure", 32.2% as "preoccupied", 14.6% as "dismissing" and 5.6% as "fearful". 2) The parental neglect was related to fearful and preoccupied patterns and parental inconsistency was related to preoccupied pattern. In terms of attachment quality and parental behavior, more parental affection and reasoning were related with more reliance. And more affection and less intrusiveness, neglect, and inconsistency were related with more closeness. More affection and reasoning and less physical abuse, intrusivenes, over-expectation, neglect, inconsistency were related with less anxiety. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that adolescent attachment pattern would be transitional compared with that of infancy and adult. More positive parenting behavior such as affection and reasoning, and less negative parenting behavior such as physical abuse, intrusiveness, neglect, inconsistency were related with secure attachment pattern. Also, less positive parenting behavior such as affection and reasoning, and more negative parenting behavior such as physical abuse, intrusiveness, neglect, inconsistency were related with insecure attachment patterns.
