The relationships of family demands, caregiving demands, sense of coherence (SOC), and family hardiness (FH) with parents' well‐being was evaluated in 76 families (75 mothers and 62 fathers) of young children (infant to 6 years) with asthma. The Resiliency Model of Family Stress, Adjustment and Adaptation (McCubbin, M., & McCubbin, 1993, 1996) was the conceptual framework for the study. The major hypothesis was that SOC and FH, separately and in combination, moderate both family system and caregiving demands on general well‐being. With hierarchical regression analysis, SOC and FH explained 56% of the variance in mothers' well‐being; family demands, SOC, and FH explained 67% of the variance in fathers' well‐being. No moderating relationships were found for SOC or FH. Resiliency factors (SOC and FH) and family demands had direct relationships to the well‐being of parents of young children with asthma. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Res Nurs Health 23:346–358, 2000.
