Parenting stress at a moderate level was experienced by 34 people (34.7%), and a high level of parenting stress was shared by one person (1.0%). The majority of parenting stress levels are low. Parenting stress, based on the domain, mainly occurs in the parental environment. Parents lack knowledge and experience assisting school-age children to learn from home during the Covid-19 pandemic.
