The effects of child-rearing support in kindergartens on mothers' feelings about child-rearing

本研究的目的是在考虑母亲育儿感受变化的情况下，探讨幼儿园育儿支持的效果。本研究以东京地区幼稚园学童母亲为对象，进行纵向问卷调查。结果发现，经常使用托儿服务和育儿咨询系统的母亲对育儿的负担感和焦虑感比其他母亲更强烈。然而，研究也发现，一年内使用育儿支持频率的变化及其与前一年相比的变化几乎没有影响母亲对育儿的感受。

The purpose of this study is to discuss the effects of child-rearing support in kindergartens while considering the change in mothers' feelings about child-rearing. A longitudinal questionnaire survey was conducted, targeting mothers of kindergarten pupils residing in the Tokyo area. As a result, it was found that the mothers who often use childcare services and child-rearing consultation systems have a stronger sense of burden and anxiety over child-rearing than other mothers. However, it was also found that the variation in the frequency of use of child-rearing support in one year and its change compared with the previous year hardly influenced mothers' feelings about child-rearing.
