✦ Synopsis

This pilot study examined differences in and relationships between parent health-related stressors (child care needs and parental concerns), daily hassles, and coping strategies of 17 mothers and 17 fathers of preschool and school-age children with myelomeningocele (MMC). Help related to play was the most frequent need among mothers; fathers needed the most help with school activities. Among the greatest concerns of both parents were their child's future and sufficient income. Too many things to do was a frequently mentioned hassle by both parents. Having faith in God was the coping strategy mentioned most often by both parents.
