Parenting Stress Among The Parent Of Children’s With Cognitive Impairment

Abstract

Stress has been shown to decrease cognitive abilities when it is chronic. One such essential mental capacity is attention, which is vital in both personal and professional settings. The alerting, executive control, and orienting networks of the brain are all susceptible to the negative effects of chronic stress. In this study, we looked at how naturalistic, long-term psychosocial stress affects different types of attention networks. Overall, the stressed group showed faster reaction times than the non-stressed group across all target and cue settings. The two teams were equally accurate under all circumstances. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups on any of the three attention network measures. In the stressed group, however, there was a strong inverse association between the alerting and orienting networks and a considerable positive relationship between the two.
