The study found that mothers with asthma during pregnancy did not have significantly higher parenting stress in the first year postpartum compared to mothers without asthma. Additionally, asthma control level did not affect parenting stress levels in mothers with asthma. However, it is possible that levels of parenting stress in asthmatic mothers are underestimated due to response and sampling bias.
Objective Maternal asthma often complicates pregnancy and is linked with poorer quality of life. Additionally, individuals with asthma are at an increased risk of depression and anxiety. We examined whether asthma during pregnancy is related to parenting stress in the first year postpartum and if this relationship varies with level of asthma control. Methods This cohort survey-based study included mothers with (n = 157) and without (n = 79) asthma. Mothers with asthma participated in this study following participation in a randomized controlled trial of a novel asthma management strategy during pregnancy. Mothers completed the Parenting Stress Index - Short Form during the first 12 months postpartum. Mothers with asthma also completed the Asthma Control Questionnaire. Results Parenting stress did not differ between mothers with and without asthma. Additionally, for mothers with asthma, there were no differences in levels of parenting stress based on asthma control. Conclusions This study suggests that mothers with asthma are not at an increased risk for excessive parenting stress. However, due to response and sampling bias, levels of parenting stress in asthmatic mothers may be underreported in our sample.
