abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the parental stress reported by foster parents and factors of wellness. Outcomes were measured using the Parenting Stress Index - Short Form (Abidin, 1995) and the Five Factor Wellness Inventory (Myers & Sweeney, 2004). Data were collected on a single occasion from 148 foster parents utilizing on-line support groups. Pearson's correlation found that there was a significant negative relationship between Total Parenting Stress and Overall Wellness (<italic>r</italic> = -.306, <italic>P</italic> = <.0005) as well as Parent-Child Dysfunctional Interactions and Overall Wellness (<italic>r</italic> = -.246, <italic>P</italic> = .003). Stepwise regression was used to investigate factors of wellness predictive of lower levels of Total Stress and Parent Child Dysfunctional Interactions. Two factors of wellness, including Realistic Beliefs and Leisure, were found to be predictive of lower levels of Total Stress. Four factors of wellness, including Leisure, Emotions, Positive Humor, and Realistic Beliefs were found to be predictive of lower levels of Parent-Child Dysfunctional Interactions.
