【Objective】 To explore parenting stress and mental state in mothers of children after arterial switch operation(ASO)and children with normal development,presenting information for comprehensive rehabilitation of children accepting operation in infancy. 【Methods】 A total of 135 mothers of children who undergone ASO were investigated with the Parenting Stress Index Short Form (PSI/ SF),State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI). Their scores were compared with that of 142 mothers with healthy children. 【Results】 Mothers of children after ASO exprienced a significantly higher level in the total score of parenting stress and subscale score of parental distress and parent-child dysfunctional interaction as compared with mothers of healthy children[the total score(93.49±15.10)vs(74.71±16.55),P< 0.05 ]. In terms of the STAI,we found mothers of children after ASO have higher SAI scores[(43.19±7.07)vs(39.67±7.45),P< 0.05]which were correlated with total parenting stress and parental distress. 【Conclusions】 Mothers of children undergone ASO generally experience more parenting stress and state anxiety than mothers of normal children. Providing appropriate counselling and intervention to those parents most in need.
