Abstract
The research posed two questions, namely (a) how much stress, if any, is experienced by house mothers in a children's home, and (b) which factors cause such stress. The methodology employed is descriptive research. It covered the total population of ten house mothers in a children' home. Measuring instruments employed were; the Heimler scale for Social Functioning, the Glazer Stress Control Life Style Questionnaire, the Stress Questionnaire, and a self-formulated questionnaire. The results are as follows: 70% reported average to high stress, but are inclined to deny stress. 30% reported normal stress levels Possible causes of stress are the work context of the children's' home, age, period of service, and personality.
