The prevalence of allergic rhinitis and the social burden related to the management of allergic rhinitis have persistently increased. There are many studies investigating the association between the allergic diseases of children and the stress of their parent. However, the relationship between parenting stress and the incidence of allergic rhinitis among children requires further investigation. We aimed to investigate the significance of parenting stress for mothers with children treated for allergic rhinitis.
The mothers of 250 children in the second and third grade of elementary school were involved in this study. The Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF) was used to measure parenting stress. Additionally, the monthly household income, treatment history for allergic diseases (atopic dermatitis, asthma, and allergic rhinitis) during the past 12 months, and maternal education status were investigated using the questionnaire.
Parenting stress index score was significantly higher among the mothers of children treated for allergic rhinitis (76.41 ± 9.35) compared with the parents of children without treatment history for allergic rhinitis (70.06 ± 13.74). Nonetheless, there were no significant differences between the cases of children with atopic dermatitis and those with asthma. We analyzed the association between allergic rhinitis and parenting stress adjusted for the monthly household income, and maternal education status, and showed that a treatment history of allergic rhinitis was significantly associated with parenting stress (coefficient 7.477, 95% interval 1.703-13.252; p = 0.011).
Treatment of the children for allergic rhinitis significantly affects the parenting stress of their mother. We recommend that mothers with children with allergic rhinitis should receive appropriate counseling about parenting stress.
变应性鼻炎的患病率以及与变应性鼻炎管理相关的社会负担持续增加。有许多研究调查儿童过敏性疾病与其父母压力之间的关联。然而，育儿压力与儿童变应性鼻炎发病率之间的关系仍需进一步研究。我们旨在调查育儿压力对患有变应性鼻炎的儿童母亲的意义。
本研究纳入了250名小学二、三年级儿童的母亲。采用育儿压力指数简表（PSI-SF）来测量育儿压力。此外，通过问卷调查了解月家庭收入、过去12个月内过敏性疾病（特应性皮炎、哮喘和变应性鼻炎）的治疗史以及母亲的教育状况。
与没有变应性鼻炎治疗史的儿童的父母相比，患有变应性鼻炎的儿童的母亲的育儿压力指数得分显著更高（76.41±9.35）。然而，患有特应性皮炎的儿童和患有哮喘的儿童之间没有显著差异。我们分析了调整月家庭收入和母亲教育状况后变应性鼻炎与育儿压力之间的关联，结果显示变应性鼻炎的治疗史与育儿压力显著相关（系数7.477，95%置信区间1.703 - 13.252；p = 0.011）。
对儿童变应性鼻炎的治疗显著影响其母亲的育儿压力。我们建议患有变应性鼻炎儿童的母亲应接受关于育儿压力的适当咨询。
