A study on maternal anxiety related child-realing and support system

人们越来越关注与育儿和育儿相关的压力引起的母亲焦虑。这项研究的目的是为患有这种焦虑的母亲提供适当的帮助和支持。我们调查了正在抚养婴儿的母亲的焦虑情绪，结果发现，有一半的母亲对为人父母没有信心。70%的受访者回答说，当他们感到疲惫和恼火时，他们有时会想把压力发泄到孩子身上。我们还了解到，他们中的许多人会对孩子进行体罚，以管教他们。他们在成为父母之前只有很差的育儿经历，这似乎导致他们混淆了作为父母的现实和他们自己对育儿的印象之间的差距。据透露，她们的丈夫很少照顾孩子，把大部分麻烦的育儿和家务都留给了妻子。这些母亲与邻居隔绝，她们大多独自承担照看孩子的负担，几乎没有支持。60%的母亲只有一小时或更少的空闲时间，90%的母亲希望有更多的空闲时间。80%的受访者表示，她们因照顾子女而感到疲惫。因此，我们认为，采取措施减轻母亲的负担和责任，支持和帮助她们成长为好父母，恢复她们的信心是不可或缺的。

There is a growing concern about maternal anxiety relating to child-rearing and childcare-related stresses. The purpose of this study is to provide appropriate help and support for mothers who suffer from such anxiety. We have investigated the anxiety of the mothers who are in the middle of raising their infants.As a result, we have found that half of them have no confidence in being a parent. Seventy per cent of them have answered that they sometimes feel like taking out their stress on their children when they are tired and irritated. We have also learned that many of them inflict physical punishment on their children to discipline them. They have only poor childcare experience before becoming a parent and this seems to have led them to be confused with the gap between the reality of being a parent and their own images of childcare. It is also revealed that their husbands take very little care of their children and leave most of troublesome childcare and housework to their wives. The mothers are isolated from their neighbors and they bear the burden of childcare mostly by themselves with little support. Sixty per cent of the mothers have their free time only for an hour or less and ninety per cent wish to have more leisure time. Eighty per cent answered they were tired from childcare.From all of the above, we believe that it is indispensable to take measures to reduce the mothers' burden and responsibilities and to support and help them grow up to be good parents and recover their confidence.
