Introduction And Aim:
Adolescence is a vulnerable period marked by significant stress, with parental awareness potentially playing a crucial role in shaping adolescents' ability to manage stress. This study aimed to assess the effect of parental awareness on adolescent stress and stress management.
Material And Methods:
A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among 400 adolescents aged 11-18 years selected from schools in Gwalior district, India, from April 2022 to January 2024. Data were collected using the Adolescent Stress Scale (ADOSS) to assess stress, a self-constructed questionnaire for parental awareness, and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS-6) to evaluate stress management (resilience). Descriptive and inferential statistics, including independent t-tests, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlation, and multivariate regression, were applied.
Results:
Mean stress score was 43.4 ± 10.1, parental awareness score was 65.1 ± 7.7, and stress management score was 74.2 ± 11.4. Significant differences in stress levels were observed across gender, school type, family type, parental education, and socioeconomic status (p<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant, moderate negative relationship between parental awareness and adolescent stress, indicating that higher parental awareness is associated with lower adolescent stress. Higher parental awareness was significantly associated with lower stress (β = -0.35, p = 0.001) and better stress management (β = 0.32, p = 0.001). Multivariate regression models explained 32% and 38% of variance in stress and stress management, respectively. Female sex, nuclear family structure, and lower socioeconomic status emerged as significant risk factors for higher stress and poorer coping.
Conclusion:
Parental awareness significantly influences adolescent stress and stress management. Family-centered interventions that enhance parental awareness may serve as an effective strategy to mitigate adolescent stress and promote resilience.
