- Title
Maternal Parenting Stress in Physicians' Families.
- Authors
Olsen, Richard D.; Sande, Jonathan R.; Olsen, Gayle P.
- Abstract
The families of 16 male staff physicians and 26 male residents were studied. All spouses completed the Abidin Parenting Stress Index (PSI) prior to a well-child visit. Home interviews were conducted to identify factors contributing to stress. PSI scores were similar in both groups. The interviews suggested that physician fathers had limited time and energy for parenting. Resident fathers were twice as likely as staff fathers to participate in child care when home. Parenting stress tended to stay the same in 25% of families or increased in 50% of families after residency training.
