Abstract The present study was conducted to assess the predictors of Parental Stress in Parents of children with four types of disabilities (VI, ID, HI and Autism) in greater Kolkata district, West Bengal. The investigators adopted Proportional Stratified Simple Random Sampling Technique for collecting the sample (n=400). The revised version of PSI (Abidin,1983) was administered to assess the predictors of parental stress, along with two subscales- the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales III (Olson, Bell, & Portner,1982) and a self-prepared Interview Schedule (deals with 2 sub-scales: Helpfulness of the Network (Qs No-1- 7) and Size of Network (Qs.No.8-13) following five point Likert Scale: 5=Strongly Agree, 4= Agree, 3=Undecided, 2= Disagree,1=Strongly Disagree. The Hierarchical Multiple Regression Analysis was administered with the help of IBM SPSS AMOS-24 Version and the Researcher inserted Parenting Stress as the Dependent Variable and four Blocks as predictor variables (12). The result demands that among the eight (8) predictor variables associated with parents of the differently abled children’s characteristics (block-1), three predictors (thinking about the future of the differently abled children, poor physical or mental health of the parents & monthly income of the parents) were statistically highly significant at 1% level. Another two predictor variables such as no. of earning member(s) in the family and type of family were moderately significant at the 5% level. The total model of sexual-relationship of the parents with differently abled children was moderately significant at the 5% level, and accounted for 26% of variance. Among the differently abled children’s characteristics (block-2), additional handicap in the differently abled children was considered as the highest type of Parental Stressor (t= 3.43). Gender and birth order of the differently abled children were recognised as moderately significant predictors of Parental Stress for their parents. The total model of Family Functioning (Block-3) of the parents with differently abled children was also an important predictor of Parental Stress in the parents accounted for 48 % of variance with high t-value (4.68) at 1 % level of significance. On the other hand, the total model of Social Functioning of the parents with differently abled children (block-4) was also an important predictor of Parental Stress and accounted for 38 % of variance with greater t-value (3.28) at 5 % level of significance.
