Abstract(s)
Com o surgimento da pandemia COVID-19, as recomendações de quarentena e de distanciamento social, o fecho das escolas e de infantários e de vários outros serviços tornaram a vida familiar consideravelmente diferente, estando estas mais suscetíveis a experienciar um aumento do stress. De forma a esclarecer e aprofundar assim a informação já existente, o presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a influência que a pandemia teve nos níveis de stress dos pais e das crianças durante o primeiro confinamento e analisar o impacto do primeiro confinamento nas práticas parentais. Foi assim realizado um estudo transversal experimental com 154 mães com filhos em idade pré-escolar. Aplicaram-se online os instrumentos, The Coronavirus Health Impact Survey Parent/Caregiver Short Form, The Coronavirus Health Impact Survey Adult Short Form, Child-Rearing Practice Report Questionnaire e o Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21. Como resultados, encontrámos que o stress parental esteve positivamente correlacionado com vários fatores como a Depressão, a Ansiedade, sentimentos de Tristeza, Agitação, Cansaço, dificuldades na Concentração, Irritabilidade e Solidão, sendo algo que influenciou fortemente a vivência do primeiro confinamento para os pais e consequentemente as suas práticas parentais.
With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the confinement and social distancing recommendations, the closing of schools and nurseries and several other services, the family life was made considerably different, being more susceptible to experience an increase in stress. In order to clarify and deepen the existing information, the present study aimed to analyse the influence that the pandemic had on the stress levels of parents and children during the first confinement in parental practices. An experimental cross-sectional study was thus carried out with 154 mothers with children of preschool age. The Coronavirus Health Impact Survey Parent/Caregiver Short Form, the Coronavirus Health Impact Survey Adult Short Form, Child-Rearing Practice Report Questionnaire and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 were applied online. As a result, we found that parental stress was positively correlated with several factors such as Depression, Anxiety, feelings of Sadness, Agitation, Tiredness, difficulties in Concentration, Irritability and Loneliness, something that strongly influenced the experience of the first confinement for parents and consequently their parenting practices.
