AIM: To investigate levels of @entity1005 ( @entity1005 ) of those parenting @entity1 with @entity5 and make a comparison between mothers and fathers. BACKGROUND: Parenting a @entity1 with @entity5 is traumatic. Maternal and paternal roles and responsibilities change after the @entity5 diagnosis of their @entity1 , adding more stress to the lives of all concerned. The gender of the parent may have an effect on their @entity1005 . However, there is a lack of studies in Arabic countries on the differences between parents in their @entity1005 levels. METHODS: A sample of 416 biological parents (comprising 207 mothers and 209 fathers) of @entity1 with @entity5 in Jordan completed a demographic checklist and the @entity1005 Checklist Civilian (PCLC). RESULTS: There was a significant difference in @entity1005 levels between mothers and fathers, with mothers having significantly higher @entity1005 levels than fathers. The mean @entity1005 levels for mothers was (M=59.68, SD=4.86) compared to (M=52.76, SD=5.81) for fathers. The magnitude of the differences in the means was very large (eta squared=0.29). Additionally, results indicated that there was a significant negative correlation between parental @entity1005 levels with their age and the time since their @entity1 was diagnosed with @entity5 (r=-0.68, r=-0.62 respectively and p<0.001). An increase in parental @entity1005 levels was associated with a decrease in parental age and short time duration since the @entity5 diagnosis of the @entity1 . CONCLUSION: The study concluded that parenting @entity1 with @entity5 is traumatic and mothers were at higher risk of @entity1005 than fathers. Risk of @entity1005 was found to decrease with time. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING EBP: Investigating differences in @entity1005 between mothers and fathers in Jordan may be helpful when designing interventions to reduce the risk of @entity1005 . An individual parental support program is important, taking into consideration that mothers are at higher risk of @entity1005 , and both parents need thorough attention and care.
