Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effect of social support on the relationship between parenting stress and depression among parents of children with a disability. One hundred and fifty parents of children with a disability from Gwangju area were asked to complete a survey including The Parental Stress Scale, The Social Support Scale, and The Depression Scale. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS 24.0. The results of the study are as follows: First, the correlation analysis showed statistically significant correlations among parental stress, social support and depression. Second, the simple regression analysis showed the direct effect of parental stress on depression. Third, the multiple regression analysis showed the mediating effect of social support on the relationship between parental stress and depression. This suggests the social support may reduce the negative effect of the parental stress on the depression. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future study are discussed.

본 연구의 목적은 장애아동부모의 양육스트레스와 우울의 관계에서 사회적 지지의 매개효과를 알아보고, 장애아동부모의 스트레스와 우울을 완화하기 위한 방법과 방향을 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위해 광주광역시 재활기관, 재활클리닉 및 복지관을 이용하는 장애아동부모 150명을 대상으로 양육스트레스, 우울, 사회적 지지 척도를 사용하여 설문을 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 24.0 프로그램을 사용하여 기술통계, 상관분석, 단순회귀분석, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 양육스트레스와 우울은 정적 상관관계, 양육스트레스와 사회적 지지, 사회적 지지와 우울은 부적 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 양육스트레스는 우울을 예측하는 변인으로 나타났다. 셋째, 사회적 지지는 양육스트레스와 우울의 관계를 부분적으로 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 종합하면, 장애아동부모가 양육스트레스로 인하여 우울을 경험할 때 충분한 사회적 지지가 제공된다면 그들의 우울 수준은 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 장애아동부모의 양육스트레스와 우울을 감소시킬 수 있는 지역사회 스트레스 대처 프로그램을 개발하고 제공할 필요성을 시사한다.
