520 |a This study was carried out to examine the relationship between parenting stress and parent-child relationship among a sample of mothers in the Klang Valley. This study also investigated whether there were any differences in the parent-child relationship between the nonemployed and employed mothers and whether parenting stress served as a mediator in the relationship between maternal employment status and parent-child relationship. A total of 98 participants comprising of 30 nonemployed mothers and 68 employed mothers were recruited through primary schools and school holiday programmes around the Klang Valley. All respondents answered a set of questionnaires which consisted of the Parenting Stress Index-Short-Form (PSI/SF) and the Parent-Child Interaction Questionnaire-Revised – Parent Version (PACHIQ-R-P). A correlation analysis showed that parenting stress was significantly and negatively related to parent-child relationship. A one-way ANOVA found a significant difference in the parent-child relationship between the two maternal employment status groups, with the employed mothers reporting better parent-child relationship than the nonemployed mothers. However, parenting stress was not found to mediate the relationship between maternal employment status and parent-child relationship as shown through multiple regressions analyses. The findings as well as the implications and limitations of the present study were also discussed.
