Parents' peri-traumatic stress and sense of parental competence in relation to covid-19 containment measures: What impact on their children's peri-traumatic distress?
[en] The objective of this study was to measure, via an online survey, the peritraumatic impact of COVID-19-related lockdown measures on parents and their sense of parental competence, as well as the link with their children’s peritraumatic distress. We investigated the links between the distress felt by the parent and the distress felt by the child in the lockdown from March to May 2020. Participants were 287 parents and 161 children. The results of our study indicated that there is a significant association between the parents’ and the children’s peritraumatic stress. We also found a significant relationship between the sense of parental competence and the trauma suffered as a result of the lockdown. We also showed that people who usually felt more stressed have lower peritraumatic distress. In addition, the data indicated that mothers were more affected than fathers by the lockdown, whereas there was no difference between girls and boys in the sample of children. The peritraumatic feelings appeared to be more related to the difficulty of combining teleworking with the daily management of children than to the fear of the virus itself. All these results bear witness to the differences in the experience of lockdown between mothers and fathers, and the impact on their children’s well-being. [fr] L’objectif de la présente étude était de mesurer, via une enquête en ligne, l’impact péritraumatique
des mesures de confinement liées au covid-19 sur les parents et sur leur
sentiment de compétence parentale ainsi que le lien avec la détresse péri-traumatique
de leurs enfants. Nous avons étudié les liens entre la détresse ressentie par le parent
et celle ressentie par l’enfant dans la situation de confinement de mars à mai 2020.
Nous avons obtenu la participation de 287 parents et de 161 de leurs enfants. Les
résultats de notre étude indiquent qu’il existe un lien significatif entre le stress péritraumatique
des parents et celui des enfants. Nous observons également un lien
significatif entre le sentiment de compétence parentale et le traumatisme subi suite au
confinement. Nous montrons également que les personnes habituellement plus
stressées présentent une détresse péri-traumatique plus faible. En outre, les données
indiquent que les mères sont davantage touchées que les pères par cette situation de
confinement alors qu’il n’y a pas de différence entre les filles et les garçons dans
l’échantillon des enfants. Le sentiment péri-traumatique apparaît plus comme lié à la
difficulté de combiner le télétravail et la gestion quotidienne des enfants que la peur du
virus en lui-même. Tous ces résultats, très récents et novateurs, témoignent des
différences dans le vécu du confinement entre les mères et les pères, avec en outre un
retentissement sur le bien-être des enfants.
