This study investigates Korean immigrants' parental stress amid the COVID-19 pandemic, especially when they experience difficulties trying to meet their children's educational needs. Korean immigrant parents residing in the U.S. were invited to complete an online survey through purposive sampling. The final sample included a total of 341 Korean immigrant parents from 42 U.S. states. Three models of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regressions were conducted to examine the associations between parent-reported difficulties meeting the children's educational needs, parental stress, and the immigrant parents' resilience and social support. Findings indicate that parents' difficulties meeting their children's educational needs in general as well as language barriers were associated with increased parental stress. Moreover, parents' resilience and social support also significantly decreased parental stress levels. Implications for practice, policy, and future research are presented.
本研究调查了新冠疫情期间韩裔移民父母的育儿压力，尤其是当他们在满足子女教育需求方面遇到困难时的压力情况。通过立意抽样邀请居住在美国的韩裔移民父母完成一项在线调查。最终样本包括来自美国42个州的341名韩裔移民父母。进行了三种普通最小二乘法（OLS）回归模型，以检验父母报告的在满足子女教育需求方面的困难、育儿压力以及移民父母的心理韧性和社会支持之间的关联。研究结果表明，父母在总体上满足子女教育需求方面的困难以及语言障碍与育儿压力增加有关。此外，父母的心理韧性和社会支持也显著降低了育儿压力水平。文章还阐述了对实践、政策和未来研究的启示。
