RESUMO

COVID-19 pandemic has become a significant international public health problem. In addition to dealing with the pandemic's impact on mental health, parents need to cope with specific changes in their routines caused by social distance measures. This study aimed to investigate common mental disorders (CMD) symptoms in Brazilian parents during the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated factors. A total of 232 Brazilian parents ranging from 20 to 48 years old (M = 33.85; SD = 4.83) with children aged 1-36 months (M = 17.00; SD = 9,87) participated in an online survey. Parents answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-4), and Parenting Sense of Competence Scale. Chi-square tests, correlations, and multiple linear regression were performed. Results showed that parents' symptoms of CMD were negatively associated to perceived parental competence (ß =- 0.130; p = 0.011) and family income (ß =- 0.190; p = 0.024). Furthermore, perceived stress was the most related variable to parents' symptoms of CMD (ß = 0.618; p < 0.001), showing a positive association. The model explained 49.5% of the variation. Results suggest that lower family income may increase symptoms of CMD in Brazilian parents, which is a concern in a country of high social inequality. Parental sense of competence may be a relevant protective factor. Interventions targeting parental competence and stress reduction should be considered to address the mental health impacts of the pandemic.

RESUMO

Resumen Múltiples investigaciones han demostrado que los estilos de crianza influyen en el desarrollo socioemocional durante la infancia, en la cual se considera a la familia como el primer ente socializador. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar la incidencia de las competencias parentales en el desarrollo de las habilidades sociales de hijos únicos, con edades entre tres y cinco años, teniendo en cuenta cuatro áreas: vinculares, formativas, protectoras y reflexivas. Con respecto a las habilidades sociales se analizaron seis actitudes comportamentales: habilidades sociales básicas; hacer amigos; conversacionales; sentimientos y emociones; capacidad de afrontar y resolver problemas, y la forma de relacionarse con los adultos. Es una investigación cuantitativa, realizada con un método correlacional donde la muestra correspondió a 36 niños y 61 padres de familia. Se utilizaron las siguientes pruebas: Escala de parentalidad positiva y Escala de habilidades sociales. Los hallazgos de esta investigación no coinciden con lo que teóricamente se podría esperar; resulta paradójico que los niños que tienen habilidades sociales medias posean padres con competencias parentales óptimas, mientras que niños con habilidades sociales altas, presentan padres de familia cuyas competencias parentales que se ubican en cualquiera de los tres rangos (en riesgo, en monitoreo y óptimas). Otro hallazgo se relaciona con los niños que presentaron habilidades sociales altas en las seis áreas; a su vez, sus padres registraron competencias parentales protectoras en zona de monitoreo, lo que conlleva a pensar, que existen otros factores diferentes de las competencias parentales que pueden incidir en el desarrollo de las habilidades sociales de los menores.

Abstract Multiple researches have shown that parenting styles influence socio-emotional development during childhood, in which the family is considered the first socializing entity. The objective of this research was to analyze the incidence of parental competencies in the development of the social skills of single children aged between three and five years, taking into account four areas: linkage, formative, protective and reflexive. Regarding social skills, six behavioral attitudes were analyzed: basic social skills; making new friends; conversational; feelings and emotions; ability to face and solve problems; and way of relating to adults. It is a quantitative research, correlational method where the sample corresponded to 36 children and 61 parents. Two tests were applied: Positive Parentally Scale and Social Skills Scale. Pearson Chi-square was used to analyze the information, using Statistica software. The Pearson Chi-square test is a non-parametric test, which aims to determine the existence or not of a significant relationship between two variables. The Parental Competence scale is a very simple questionnaire that applies to the parents or caregivers of a child or adolescent, whose objective is to determine the degree of development of parental competencies that adults use to establish a relationship with the child in care, either as a parent or as a caregiver. The scale groups these competences into four areas: Link, training, protection and reflection. This scale defines three zones to determine the level of competence of the parents: the risk zone, where the parents whose scores are below the reference sample are located; subsequently, the monitoring area is located, where the parents who present scores with percentiles between 30 and 40 are located according to the reference sample. Finally, the optimal zone is defined, where the parents with high scores are located. The social skills scale of Lacunza is a questionnaire that must be applied by parents or caregivers to children between 3 and 5 years old, which measure observable behaviors, which account for the child's social performance during the last three months. This questionnaire is based on other instruments that measure social skills, but makes an adaptation according to the developmental stages of development in preschool children, perfecting three questionnaires according to age: for 3 years the scale presents a composite questionnaire for 12 items; At the age of 4 years, the evaluation is carried out through the development of 12 questions, while for the age of 5 the questionnaire is made up of a total of 15 items. The findings of this research do not match what theoretically would be expected. It is paradoxical that children who have medium social skills have parents with optimal parental skills, while children with high social skills, have parents whose parental skills are located in any of the three ranges (at risk, monitoring and optimal). Another finding is related to children who presented high social skills in the six areas, in turn, their parents registered protective parental competencies in the monitoring area, which leads us to think that there are other factors that can affect in the development of the social skills of minors.

RESUMO

O Questionário de Autoavaliação da Competência Educativa Parental (QACEP) é um instrumento que tem por objetivo avaliar a percepção de competência dos pais em suas funções. No Brasil, sua utilização é escassa e o objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar as propriedades psicométricas do QACEP. Foi utilizada uma amostra de 151 mães e pais, a maioria com nível de escolaridade até o ensino médio e renda até dois salários mínimos. A análise fatorial confirmatória do modelo proposto com dois fatores - a percepção de eficácia e de satisfação - revelou bom ajustamento global aos dados recolhidos. Análises posteriores revelam que a satisfação parental aumenta com a idade dos pais, com o nível de escolaridade e salário auferido. Tendo em conta os diversos processos de validação conduzidos, recomenda-se o uso dessa versão do QACEP na investigação e prática clínica com pessoas de baixa renda no Brasil. (AU)

The Self-Assessment Questionnaire for Parental Educational Competency (PEC-SAQ) is an instrument that aims to evaluate the perception of parental competence in its functions. In Brazil, it is scarcely used and the objective of this research is to analyze the psychometric properties of PEC-SAQ. A sample of 151 mothers and fathers was used, the majority with education level up to high school and income up to two minimum wages. Confirmatory factor analysis of a proposed two-factor model (perception of efficacy and satisfaction) revealed a good overall adjustment to the data collected. Later analyses revealed that parental satisfaction increases with the parents' age, with the level of schooling and salary earned. Taking into account the different validation processes conducted, it is recommended to use this version of PEC-SAQ in research and clinical practice with low-income people in Brazil. (AU)
