背景：压力和妥协的育儿方式往往会让孩子面临虐待和忽视的风险。虐待儿童通常被视为一个高度个人化的问题，通过关注影响个别家庭的压力源和育儿行为。然而，由于2019年全球冠状病毒病(新冠肺炎)的爆发，世界各地的家庭正面临着一系列新的压力源，这些压力源威胁着他们的健康、安全和经济福祉。目的：本研究考察了新冠肺炎大流行对父母感知压力和虐待儿童可能性的影响。研究对象和背景：美国西部有孩子未满18岁的父母(N=183)。方法：采用分组差异检验和分层多元回归分析人口统计学特征、新冠肺炎危险因素、心理健康危险因素、保护性因素、父母感受到的压力之间的关系。结果：新冠肺炎相关应激源越多、焦虑和抑郁症状越高，父母感受到的压力越大。接受经济援助以及高度焦虑和抑郁症状与更高的虐待儿童可能性有关。相反，在大流行期间更多的父母支持和感受到的控制与较低的感受到的压力和虐待儿童的可能性相关。新冠肺炎相关压力源存在种族和民族差异，但在心理健康风险、保护因素、感受到的压力和虐待儿童的可能性上没有差异。结论：尽管家庭感受到来自新冠肺炎的压力源增加，但提供父母支持和增加控制感可能是有前景的干预目标。
Background: Stress and compromised parenting often place children at risk of abuse and neglect. Child maltreatment has generally been viewed as a highly individualistic problem by focusing on stressors and parenting behaviors that impact individual families. However, because of the global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), families across the world are experiencing a new range of stressors that threaten their health, safety, and economic well-being.Objective: This study examined the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to parental perceived stress and child abuse potential.Participants and Setting: Participants included parents (N = 183) with a child under the age of 18 years in the western United States.Method: Tests of group differences and hierarchical multiple regression analyses were employed to assess the relationships among demographic characteristics, COVID-19 risk factors, mental health risk factors, protective factors, parental perceived stress, and child abuse potential.Results: Greater COVID-19 related stressors and high anxiety and depressive symptoms are associated with higher parental perceived stress. Receipt of financial assistance and high anxiety and depressive symptoms are associated with higher child abuse potential. Conversely, greater parental support and perceived control during the pandemic are associated with lower perceived stress and child abuse potential. Results also indicate racial and ethnic differences in COVID-19 related stressors, but not in mental health risk, protective factors, perceived stress, or child abuse potential.Conclusion: Findings suggest that although families experience elevated stressors from COVID-19, providing parental support and increasing perceived control may be promising intervention targets.
