Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of parenting efficacy and social support of mothers with preschoolers on parental burnout. The research questions were as follows: What is the effect of parenting efficacy on parental burnout? What is the effect of social support on parental burnout? To solve these research questions, a survey research was conducted with 250 infant mothers that enrolled in private kindergartens in Busan. The research instruments used in order to measure the parenting efficacy were POSOC which had been modified and supplemented by Sin Sook-jae (1997), and the index of Park Dong-sook (2019) which had been modified and supplemented index developed by Park Ji-won (1985), was used to measure social support. To measure parent burnout, this researcher used index that modified to suit parents. The data collected in this study were analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 in the following manner. Pearson's integral correlation analysis was performed for the relationship between variables, and multiple regression analysis was performed. Before performing multiple regression analysis, the Durbin-Watson value was confirmed to confirm the independence of the residuals, and next, the VIF value was confirmed to confirm whether there was multicollinearity. The results were as follows. First, in the relationship between parenting efficacy, social support, and parental burnout of infant mothers, a positive relationship in which social support increases can be seen. However, as parenting efficacy and social support increase, it shows a negative correlation that decreases parental exhaustion. Second, it can be seen that the anxiety and frustration felt by infant mothers in raising their children can be resolved through the improvement of parenting efficacy. However, it can be seen that lower parenting efficacy leads to parental exhaustion. These points were meaningful in that they could be basic data for parent education in the future.Third, it can be seen that evaluation support among the sub-variables of social support has a significant effect on parental exhaustion. In particular, it can be seen that it does not show the moderating effect of parental exhaustion of evaluative support, which is a specific sub-variable of social support.There is a lack of research on parental exhaustion in domestic studies, so practical comparative analysis is impossible. However, basic research results could be obtained through comparative analysis of teacher efficacy and psychological burnout, which are similar concepts. Based on these research results, it is expected to be used as additional research data to draw conclusive conclusions.
