A Study on the Relationship between Parenting Stress and Life Satisfaction among Parents of Children with Disabilities in Guizhou Province:The Moderating Role of the Number of Children
To explore the relationship between parenting stress and life satisfaction among parents of children with disabilities in Guizhou Province,a survey was conducted involving 256 parents of children with disabilities.The Parenting Stress Scale and the Satisfaction with Life Scale were used as tools for this survey.The study further examined the moderating role of the number of children in this relationship.The results revealed a significant negative correlation between parenting stress and life satisfaction among parents of children with disabilities.Additionally,the number of children was found to moderate the rela-tionship between parenting stress and life satisfaction.The findings highlight the negative impact of having an only child with disabilities on parents'parenting stress and life satisfaction.In the context of China's comprehensive three-child policy,the study suggests that to encourage parents of only children with disa-bilities who wish to have more children,it is necessary not only to improve the supporting facilities of the three-child policy but also to strengthen counseling on birth defect prevention and control.
