Explored relationships between maternal responsiveness and parenting stress, family, medical, and demographic factors in mothers of children born prematurely at very low birth weights with intraventricular hemorrhage. Mothers of 82 2-year-olds completed self-report questionnaires and were observed interacting with their children in free play during a yearly assessment. Path analysis (LISREL) revealed that lower maternal responsiveness, measured by the Par-ent/Caregiver Involvement Scale, was associated with greater demographic disadvantage and with high parent-related stress on selected subscales of the Parenting Stress Index. Child-related parenting stress was not associated with responsiveness, and severity of the child's medical condition at birth was weakly related. Results are discussed in the context of this unique population, and relevant research and measurement issues.

Key words: maternal responsiveness; parenting stress; premature; intraventricular hemorrhage; low birth weight.
