Predictors of foster parents’ stress and associations to sensitivity in the first year after placement
2018, Child Abuse and NeglectCitation Excerpt :Thus, first, foster children’s initial externalizing behavior problems seem to be a risk factor for main caregivers’ initial stress levels (wave 1). There is strong evidence in various samples indicating children’s mental health as associated with parenting stress (e. g., Creasey & Reese, 1996; Farmer et al., 2005; Williford et al., 2007). Handling severe behavior problems might exceed parents’ personal resources and lead to less self-efficacy in parenting.
Parenting stress among child welfare involved families: Differences by child placement
2014, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :There is some debate about whether actual child behavior or parent perception of child behavior is more important when assessing parenting stress. Some research shows that actual child behavior (measured by teacher report) was associated with higher levels of parenting stress rather than parent perception of behavior (Creasey & Reese, 1996). Other studies have found parenting stress to be unrelated to observed parent–child interactions, and related instead to parent perception (Bigras et al., 1996; McPherson et al., 2009).
Compulsory residential care: An examination of treatment improvement of individual and family functioning
2011, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :In addition, improvement in family functioning is associated with a higher likelihood of the adolescent completing the treatment program and going to less restrictive settings following discharge (Sunseri, 2004). Parental stress has also been negatively related to parenting behaviors, in that parents who reported higher levels of stress and perceived their children as problematic showed more often harsh and inconsistent parenting and a lack of warmth and responsiveness (Deater-Deckard & Scarr, 1996; Crawford & Manassis, 2001; Creasey & Reese, 1996; Webster-Stratton, 1990). Although parental stress has been reported to be severe at time of entry into residential care, improvement in parental stress was also found for those parents of adolescents who completed residential care (Killeen & Brady, 2000).
