Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the impacts of maternal communication skill of children with mental disabilities on parenting stress and psychological maltreatment. The study subjects were mothers of children using the 12 day care institutions for children with mental disabilities. The data from 162 mothers were used for statistical analysis. The hypothesized conceptual model was constructed to examine the impact of maternal communication skill on psychological maltreatment directly, or through parenting stress indirectly. The questionnaire consisted to mother's demographic characteristics (age, the number of children, education), child's demographic characteristics (sex, age, degree of mental disabilities), maternal communication skill, parenting stress and psychological maltreatment. The above causal model was examined using structural equation modeling. This model performed well in term of CFI=0.895, RMSEA=0.092. The result indicated that improving maternal communication skill would decrease psychological maltreatment of children with mental disabilities.
