This study aimed to examine the effect of mother’s perception of child’s maladaptive behaviour and types of child’s neurodevelopment disorder on maternal parenting stress, and examine the role of types of child’s neurodevelopmental disorder in moderating the relationship between mother’ perception of child’s maladaptive behaviours and maternal parenting stress. The mother’ perception of child’s maladaptive behaviours tested included internalizing and externalizing maladaptive behaviours, while the types of child’s neurodevelopmental disorder included intellectual disability (ID), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A total of 163 mothers of children with different types of neurodevelopmental disorders were included in this study. The data were analysed with regression analysis, t-test, and ANOVA. The results showed that 1) there is an influence of the mother’s perception of child’s maladaptive behaviours and types of neurodevelopmental disorders on parenting stress; 2) types of child neurodevelopmental disorders moderate the relationship between the mother’s perception of child’s maladaptive behaviour and maternal parenting stress; 3) mothers of children with ASD experience higher levels parenting stress than mothers of children with ADHD and ID.

这项研究旨在检验母亲对孩子的适应不良行为的认知和儿童神经发育障碍的类型对母亲育儿压力的影响，并探讨儿童神经发育障碍的类型在调节母亲对孩子的适应不良行为的感知与母亲育儿之间的关系的作用。强调。母亲对所测试的孩子的适应不良行为的感知包括内化和外化适应不良的行为，而孩子的神经发育障碍的类型包括智力障碍（ID），注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）和自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）。这项研究共纳入了163名患有不同类型神经发育障碍儿童的母亲。使用回归分析，t检验和方差分析对数据进行分析。结果表明：1）母亲对孩子的适应不良行为和神经发育障碍类型的感知对父母压力产生影响；2）儿童神经发育障碍的类型可缓和母亲对孩子的适应不良行为的感知与母亲育儿压力之间的关系；3）自闭症儿童的母亲比患有多动症和身障儿童的母亲承受更高的父母压力。
