Abstract
Parenting competency among women with mental illness is a priority because maternal mental illness may pose difficulty in parenting and is associated with potentially adverse outcomes in children. (Weissman, Warner, Wickrmaratne, Moreau, & Olfson, 1997). Sense of belonging (SOB) (Hagerty, Lynch-Sauer, Patusky, Bouwsema, & Collier, 1992) is pertinent to the maternal-child relationship and possibly plays a role in parenting competency. This descriptive correlational study explored the relationship of sense of belonging and parenting competency in a sample of mothers. Research questions addressed descriptive and correlational data regarding the study variables, as well as possible moderating or mediating effects of sense of belonging on parenting competency.
