The purpose of this study was to determine the factors including the spousal support which affect parenting stress of preschooler's mothers and their quality of life, and to analyze their relationship. The subjects were 158 mothers who had a child under 6 years of age in Seoul & Kyungido. The instruments employed for this study were the Parenting Alliance Inventory(Abidin, 1988), the Parenting Stress Index(Abidin, 1990), and the Quality of life Scale(Noh, 1988). The data were collected from October 15,1998 to November 30,1998 through self-reporting questionnaires. The analysis methods were descriptive statistics, Pearson's and Spearman's correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. The results were as follows: 1. The spousal support was significantly correlated with parenting stress(r=-.320, p=.000) and quality oflife(r=.299, p=.000). 2. The parenting stress was significantly correlated with quality of life(r=-.349, p=.000). 3. While the perceived health status was not correlated with parenting stress, it had a significant correlation with quality of life(r=-.189, p=.018). 4. The significant predictors of quality of life were parenting stress, marital satisfaction, perceived health status, and spousal support. In conclusion, the findings of this study suggest to develop a support program for mothers of preschool children to reduce their parenting stress and to improve their quality of life.
