ABSTRACT

The study analyzed the variables related to the parenting stress of the grandparents who caregive their grandchildren with severe disabilities. The study also considered the ways of increasing positive adaptation as well as decreasing the parenting stress. The study included 82 grandparents who are caregiving their grandchildren with severe disabilities for a part-time or full-time. The grandparent participants responded on the Korean translation of the Parenting Stress Index/Short Form (PSI/SF). As the results, the study revealed the marriage status, educational level, distance from their grandchild, and caregiving time as the variables related to grandparents’ demographic characteristics. As well, the variables related to the grandchildren included a placement of school, a severity of disability, and a way of communication. Based on the results of the study, the study suggested psychological support for the grandparents, provision of information regarding their grandchild’s disability, increase of the respite program, extension of the inclusive education, and enlargement of the augmentative and alternative communication to decrease grandparents’ parenting stress and increase their positive adaptation.
