Parental Role Strain Regarding Online Class Among Parents of Pre-primary School Children: A Descriptive Study
Abstract
The present study was conducted to assess parental role strain regarding online class among parents of pre-primary school children at a selected school in Kottayam, Keral. The study aimed to evaluate the challenges experienced by parents of pre-primary school children in managing online classes and to investigate potential connections between parental role strain and certain demographic factors. Non-probability convenience sampling technique was used to select 43 parents of pre-primary school children at Sacred Heart Public School, SH Mount, Kottayam. The tool for data collection was a structured questionnaire sent through Google Forms to assess parental role strain regarding online class among parents of pre-primary school children. According to the findings, out of the 43 parents surveyed, 21 (48.8%) exhibited a moderate level of parental role strain, 19 (44.28%) had a low level of parental role strain, and 3 (6.92%) experienced a high level of parental role strain. The study results indicated that there was no significant correlation between parental role strain in the context of online classes for parents of pre-primary school children and the demographic variables that were examined. From this study, it is indicated that the majority of parents have medium level of parental role strain. Nurses who are knowledgeable about this evidence are actively seeking innovative approaches to better assess and pinpoint parental role strain among parents of pre-primary school children with respect to online classes. They are also taking proactive steps to provide education and support to help alleviate this strain.
