Research setting: Benha University Hospital's cardiology outpatient clinic in Benha City, Qalyubia Governorate, was the setting for the study. Sample: Parents of 150 children with congenital cardiac problems were selected purposefully from the previously described situation. Tools for gathering data: To collect data, four tools were employed; 1st tool: A sheet of well-structured interviewing questionnaire,2nd tool: Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS),, 3rd tool  : Quality of Life Scale and 4th tool: Coping Strategies scale.  Results: Results revealed that higher than half of the parents who were evaluated suffer from mild to serious psychological issues (depression, anxiety and stress). Additionally, higher than half of them have low levels of overall coping mechanisms, and less than two-thirds of them have low level of overall quality of life.  Conclusion: According to the study's findings, parents who have CHD children are more likely to suffer from mental health concerns such stress, anxiety, and depression, which have a detrimental impact on their quality of life and coping mechanisms.  Recommendations: To lessen their psychological issues and improve their quality of life and coping mechanisms, all parents who have children diagnosed with congenital heart diseases should participate in a psycho-educational training program.
