Abstract: In this study, we determined the factors influencing parenting efficacy of Asian immigrant, first‐time mothers. The research design was a cross‐sectional, correlational study. The study included 125 first‐time mothers who immigrated and married Korean men, and were living in Korea. Data were collected using translated questionnaires, and analyzed for descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The major finding was that the parenting efficacy of immigrant women was influenced by childcare support from their husbands, maternal identity, and original nationality. The findings suggest that customized programs be developed and used to enhance parenting efficacy for Asian immigrant, first‐time mothers. In developing such programs, the advantages of maternal identity, social support from the husband, and women's cultural context should be considered.
