The purpose of this study was to investigate the moderating effect of parenting efficacy on the relationship between parenting stress and depression of mothers with ADHD children in elementary school. For this study, 107 mothers with ADHD children in elementary school were surveyed. In order to verify the moderating effect, hierarchical regression analysis was conducted.
In order to verify the moderating effect, the regression analysis was conducted. The results of this study are as follows. First, there was a statistically significant correlation analysis in mothers with ADHD children in elementary school. The parenting stress had a positive correlation with depression. Furthermore, parenting stress and depression had a negative correlation with parenting efficacy. Second, the parenting efficacy total of mothers with ADHD children in elementary school had a significant moderating effect between parenting stress and depression. Third, the efficacy as a parent of mothers with ADHD children in elementary school had a significant moderating effect between parenting stress and depression. Fourth, parent’s anxiety and frustration of mothers with ADHD children in elementary school had a significant moderating effect between parenting stress and depression.
