Abstract
The objective is to study the parenting stress among mothers of children with conduct
disorder and to highlight the possible risk factors attributed to the co-occurring stress. A case
control study was conducted on 30 mothers of conduct children and a matched control group.
Both groups underwent the following: semi-structured clinical interview and parenting stress
index. Conduct children were diagnosed according to the ICD-10 and underwent the
following: semi-structured clinical interview and a revised-behavior problem checklist.
Mothers of conduct children experienced a significantly higher parenting stress score than the
control and international scores, including total, parent and child domains scores. The
maternal distress is experienced in all dimensions of the parent’s functioning including
parent’s sense of competence, restriction of role, social isolation, and parental attachment
relationship with spouse, parental health and parent depression and the distress is also
predicted by the presence of inattention, hyperactivity, psychotic behavior, anxiety
withdrawal, duration of the illness, delay to start treatment, age of the child and mother's
education.
