Stress appraisal and coping strategies for nuclear families with an infant were explored during the first three to four months after birth using the Double ABCX Model. Seven mothers and five fathers of healthy newborn infants were interviewed at home using the semi-structured interview guide. Five categories for stress appraisal were identified in the responses. These categories were as follows: (1) Not understanding the baby's needs when crying. (2) Not having enough time for oneself. (3) Not thinking of the baby's care as important. (4) Husband's lack of sympathy with the wife's involvement in caring for the baby. Eight categories of coping strategy were identified: (1) The mother gave up certain daily activities that she had before childbirth. (2) Searching for information by reading and from friends. (3) Seeking help from understanding individuals. (4) Expressing the mother's ideas to her baby clearly. (5) Identifying the baby's needs. (6) Predicting the baby's growth. (7) The freedom and opportunity to do things for oneself. (8) Outside help with baby care. The results suggested that effective communication between wife and husband is an important family resource which helps to make the family adaptable to stress.
