“…The tools used to measure parenting self-efficacy and parenting stress have no overlapping items. These findings are consistent with other studies that demonstrate that parenting stress and parenting self-efficacy co-vary (Jones and Prinz, 2005;Sevigny and Loutzenhiser, 2009). Although we cannot infer a causal relationship in the current study, the results support the research evidence that parental perceptions of competence determine feelings of stress (Mash and Johnston, 1990;Vondra and Belsky, 1993).…”

Aim: To explore whether changes in parenting self-efficacy after attending a parenting programme are related to changes in parenting stress and child behaviour. Background: Adverse parenting is a risk factor in the development of a range of health and behavioural problems in childhood and is predictive of poor adult outcomes. Strategies for supporting parents are recognised as an effective way to improve the health, well-being and development of children. Parenting is influenced by many factors including the behaviour and characteristics of the child, the health and psychological well-being of the parent and the contextual influences of stress and support. Parenting difficulties are a major source of stress for parents, and parenting self-efficacy has been shown to be an important buffer against parenting stress. Methods: In all, 63 parents who had a child under the age of 10 years took part in the research. Of those, 58 returned completed measures of parenting self-efficacy, parenting stress and child behaviour at the start of a parenting programme and 37 at three-month followup. Findings: Improvements in parenting self-efficacy and parenting stress were found at follow-up, but there was less evidence for improvements in child behaviour. The findings clearly suggest a relationship between parenting self-efficacy and parenting stress; parents who are feeling less efficacious experience higher levels of stress, whereas greater parenting self-efficacy is related to less stress. This study adds to the evidence that parent outcomes may be a more reliable measure of programme effectiveness than child outcomes at least in the short term.

“…Alguns estudos têm revelado que a percepção de autoeficácia paterna possui preditores diferentes dos da materna (Sevigny & Loutzenhiser, 2009), sendo mais influenciável por fatores externos, como as políticas, leis e valores de cada país (Hofferth, 2003;Kiehl & White, 2003), assim como pelo tamanho e funcionamento da família (Meunier & Roskam, 2009;Salonen et al, 2009). Os pais são, também, influenciados pelas características da criança (e.g., idade) (Salonen et al, 2009), assim como por variáveis intrínsecas a eles próprios (Sevigny & Loutzenhiser, 2009).…”

A avaliação que os pais fazem sobre o seu próprio desempenho pode ter um papel directo ou indirecto no desenvolvimento das crianças. Neste trabalho, estudamos o sentimento de competência parental face ao papel global da parentalidade e as percepções de auto-eficácia em domínios específicos da parentalidade, procurando identificar diferenças entre pais e mães, e discernir efeitos possíveis face a características demográficas, como preditores das cognições da parentalidade. Os resultados vão de encontro a evidência disponível na literatura, contudo revelam especificidades na nossa amostra que permitam equacionar singularidades, em particular face aos preditores sociodemográficos da autoeficácia, levantando questões relativas aos factores de contexto e culturais da parentalidade. Palavras-chave:Cognições parentais, Sentimento de competência parental geral, Domínios de autoeficácia parental. INTRODUÇÃOA parentalidade representa, muito provavelmente, o papel mais satisfatório desempenhado pelo adulto, e ao mesmo tempo, o desafio mais exigente no seu ciclo de vida adulta, dadas as demandas intelectuais, emocionais e físicas que implica, tanto para as mães, como para os pais. No entanto, cada pai pode vivenciar este papel de diversas formas, sentindo-se mais ou menos competente no desempenho do mesmo (Meunier & Roskam, 2009).A avaliação que os pais fazem sobre a sua parentalidade e a forma como estes fazem críticas ao seu próprio desempenho pode ter um papel directo ou indirecto no desenvolvimento

“…Generally, selfefficacy gains may imply an increase in mastery with regard to creating adequate living conditions in the domain of parenting/child care, and evidence from other studies shows that parenting self-efficacy is associated with subjective well-being and higher satisfaction with family and spouse/partner [41]- [43]. Our findings must, however, be interpreted with caution.…”

Questionnaire data from two projects on the development of quality assurance instruments for an inpatient rehabilitation/prevention program for parents were used for a secondary analysis. In this analysis, the associations of gains in a psychosocial resource (parenting self-efficacy) and two types of stressors experienced by mothers at the start of treatment (parenting hassles, depressive symptoms) with general life satisfaction and satisfaction with health at the end of treatment were explored. Structural equation modeling was applied to data from N = 1724 female patients. Potential resource-stressor interactions were tested using the Latent Moderated Structural Equations approach. Results showed that parenting hassles were negatively associated with general life satisfaction and satisfaction with health while self-efficacy gains were weakly positively correlated with both variables. No interaction of parenting hassles and self-efficacy gains was found. Depressive symptoms were negatively associated with both satisfaction measures. In these models, selfefficacy gains were not substantially correlated with life satisfaction, but showed a small association with satisfaction with health. There was no significant interaction of depressive symptoms and self-efficacy gains. The findings imply that interventions for distressed mothers-as exemplarily illustrated by this inpatient setting-should focus on identifying and reducing initial stressors as these may continue to impair mothers' subjective health despite gains in parenting-related resources.
