The influence of daily hassles and role balance on health status: a study of mothers of grade school children.

Full Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of daily hassles and role balance on health status. Participants (146 mothers) completed a self-administered survey that included assessments of daily hassles, role balance, and health status. Based on hierarchal regression analyses with interaction terms, daily hassles and role balance directly influenced the mothers' health status. The results also indicated that role balance had a buffering effect on the relationship between daily hassles and health status. These findings lend empirical support to the theory of role balance.
