In Germany, inpatient mother-\/father-child preventive and rehabilitation clinics are addressing these parental health problems. Further analysis, however, is needed in order to better understand the origins of impaired parental health and to improve the interventions. The present study focuses on maternal mental health and its association with strains related to mothers\u2019 parental role, their partnership, and satisfaction with various aspects of life.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      For this cross-sectional study data from the relationship and family panel\n                      <jats:italic>pairfam<\/jats:italic>\n                      , wave 11, were used. Mothers in a cohabiting relationship with at least one child living in their household were examined. T-tests were employed to compare mentally stressed and mentally not stressed mothers in terms of (1) partnership (disagreements with partner, own destructive conflict behaviour, partner support and recognition), (2) parental competence, (unspecific strain, missing autonomy, and overprotectiveness in the parental role), and (3) satisfaction with work-life balance, leisure activities, friends and social contacts, and family. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted, with the mental health composite scale of the Short Form 12 (Version 2.0) Health Survey as the dependent variable, and the previously mentioned variables as independent variables.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 1,441 mothers in partnership, 153 (10.6%) were mentally stressed.
