Data were analyzedusing χ 2-test, t-test, and ANCOVA with IBM SPSS statistics 20.0. Results: Mothers’ parenting stress (F=5.66, p =.004) was significantlydecreased in the experimental group. There were also significant increases in parenting efficacy (F=13.05, p qqqlt;.001) and coping(F=8.91, p =.002) in the experimental group.
