The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of health beliefs in parenting practices and children's emotional distress. The present research method was the descriptive-correlation type of structural equation modeling. The statistical population was made up of parents with teenage children who were referred to counseling centers in Tabriz city in 2022-2023. Several 220 people were selected as a sample using the convenience Sampling method. The research tools included the Stress, Anxiety, and Depression Questionnaire (DASS-21) by Lavibond and Lavibond (1995), the Illness Feedback Scale (IAS) by Kellner (1987), and the Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ) by Shelton et al. (1996). Structural equation analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed the optimal fit of the research model. The results showed that participatory parenting style and health beliefs have a significant direct effect on emotional distress (P=0.009) and poor supervision and unstable discipline also have a significant direct effect on health beliefs (P=0.009), but the effect of Direct participation, positive parenting and corporal punishment was not significant on health beliefs (P>0.05). Parenting methods of poor supervision (P=0.01) and inconsistent discipline (P=0.005) had a significant indirect effect on emotional distress, but involvement, positive parenting, and physical punishment did not show a significant indirect effect (P>0.05). These results show that health beliefs have a significant mediating role in the relationship between parenting practices of poor supervision and inconsistent discipline with the emotional distress of adolescents.
