Compared responses of parents of infants with cystic fibrosis, those with congenital heart disease, and those with healthy babies on the Parenting Stress Index. Diagnostic group differences were found mainly in the Child Domain with parents of ill infants reporting greater stress. Differences between mothers and fathers were found mainly in the Parent Domain. The groups did not differ in reports of stress arising from life events other than the target child's illness.
Key words: parental stress; infants; chronic illness; cystic fibrosis; congenital heart disease.
