Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara parenting self-efficacy dan parental coping pada ibu yang memiliki anak penderita kanker usia kanak-kanak madya. Pengukuran parenting self-efficacy menggunakan adaptasi alat ukur Self-Efficacy for Parenting Tasks Index (Coleman & Karraker, 2000) dan pengukuran parental coping menggunakan alat ukur Coping Health Inventories for Parents (McCubbin, 1983). Partisipan pada penelitian ini adalah 31 orang ibu yang memiliki anak penderita kanker usia kanak-kanak madya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan positif yang signifikan antara parenting self-efficacy dan parental coping pada ibu yang memiliki anak penderita kanker usia kanak-kanak madya (r = 0.482, p = 0.000, signifikan pada L.o.S 0.01). Artinya, semakin tinggi parenting self-efficacy yang dimiliki oleh ibu maka usaha parental coping yang dilakukan juga akan semakin tinggi. Selain itu, hasil tambahan penelitian menemukan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan pada parenting self-efficacy dan parental coping ibu yang memiliki anak penderita kanker yang menjalani rawat inap dan rawat jalan.
