Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of parenting stress, family function and coping style on mental health of parents of adolescents. Methods A total of 200 parents of 12-year-old junior school students in one urban high school were included in the study. All subjects were tested using parenting stress index-short form, simplified coping style questionnaire, family assessment device and symptom check list 90 (SCL-90). Results Female had higher SCL-90 total score than male. Total SCL-90 score was positively related to parenting stress and negative coping (P<0.01), while negatively related to positive coping (P<0.01). Problem-solving and affective involvement were positively related to positive coping (P<0.01). Roles, affective responsiveness, affective involvement and behavioral control were negatively related to negative coping (P<0.05). Coping styles were significant predictors of SCL-90 (P<0.001; P<0.005). Both positive and negative coping had part of mediating role (P<0.001; P<0.005) in parenting stress and mental health. Conclusion Coping style is a part mediator in parenting stress affecting mental health. Problem-solving and affective involvement positively influence positive coping. Role, affective response, affective involvement and behavioral control negatively influence negative coping.
