OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association of stress coping strategies and parenting stress reported by mothers of children with cancer with family resilience. SAMPLE AND SETTING: 139 married mothers of children who were undergoing chemotherapy. Data were collected through an online questionnaire. METHODS AND VARIABLES: Coping strategies were assessed using the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations, and parenting stress was measured using the Parental Stress Scale. Family resilience was measured using the Korean Family Function Recovery Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression. RESULTS: Task-oriented coping was most positively associated with family resilience. Higher parenting stress was associated with lower family resilience, whereas higher educational attainment and greater monthly household income were associated with higher resilience. Family resilience was significantly lower during the consolidation and maintenance phases of chemotherapy compared to the induction (remission) phase. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Interventions aimed at enhancing family resilience should promote task-oriented coping by providing clear, practical education and consistent support across all phases of treatment.
