Parenting stress among parents of outpatients with precocious puberty: a cross-sectional survey
Parents of children with precocious puberty face significantly elevated stress, with notable sociodemographic disparities. These findings suggest that tailored support strategies-potentially including personalized psychological counseling, simplified disease education, enhanced social support connections, and family-centered approaches-may be beneficial to reduce stress, strengthen parental coping skills, and improve overall care for affected children.
