Parenting Stress and Maternal-Child Interactions Among Preschool Mothers From the Philippines, Korea, and Vietnam: A
11 Dongguk University, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Republic of Korea.
Background:
To promote child development, parenting stress, and maternal-child interactions among mothers of various nationalities must be understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate maternal-child interactions according to the mother's nationality among married immigrant mothers from the Philippines, Vietnam, and Korea.
Method:
This study employed a descriptive, cross-sectional design. Inclusion criteria were mothers who had children of preschool age.
Results:
A total of 348 mothers were interviewed: 142 Korean mothers, 84 immigrant mothers from the Philippines, and 122 immigrant mothers from Vietnam. Parenting stress ( p < .001) and maternal-child interactions ( p = .023) differed according to the mother's nationality.
Conclusions:
By delineating the nurturing characteristics of each country, the results of this study can help immigrant mothers develop maternal-child relationships that aid culturally congruent adjustment to their new culture.
Implications For Practice:
The characteristics of maternal-child interactions according to the mother's nationality may inform parent education in multicultural societies.
