Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought in significant changes in the lifestyles of families worldwide. This study is aimed to look at the parental perspectives and concerns related to the challenges in parenting in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic through qualitative methodology. Methods: The dataset for the study was the queries raised by parents who participated in a parent training program that addressed concerns related to parenting in the initial phase of the pandemic situation (April 2020). Two training sessions were conducted by one of the authors as part of community outreach activities in the department of child and adolescent psychiatry at a tertiary care academic institute of national importance. Content analysis was used to analyze the dataset manually. Results: The major themes that emerged were concerns related to handling children in home-bound situation, handing siblings of different age groups, caring for children with developmental disorders, managing work-life balance, concerns related to screen time among children, and general parenting-related queries for young children and adolescents. Based on the themes emerged, information pamphlets addressing these specific concerns were prepared for wide dissemination among parents. Conclusion: This study attempted to understand the parental perspectives and experiences related to parenting challenges in the current pandemic situation. Parental narratives highlighted some of the unique challenges pertaining to the “new normal.” Disseminating educational and informational resources during the pandemic are an essential systemic response that will benefit the community in resource-limited settings.

当前COVID-19现实中的养育——使用定性方法理解和解决父母的关切
背景:2019冠状病毒病大流行给全球家庭的生活方式带来了重大变化。本研究旨在通过定性方法研究父母对当前COVID-19大流行中育儿挑战的看法和担忧。方法:该研究的数据集是参加父母培训计划的父母提出的问题,该计划解决了大流行形势初期(2020年4月)与养育子女有关的问题。其中一名作者举办了两次培训课程,作为全国重要的三级保健学术机构儿童和青少年精神病学部门社区外展活动的一部分。内容分析用于手动分析数据集。结果:出现的主要主题是与处理在家儿童有关的问题,处理不同年龄组的兄弟姐妹,照顾有发育障碍的儿童,管理工作与生活的平衡,与儿童屏幕时间有关的问题,以及对幼儿和青少年的一般育儿相关的问题。根据出现的主题,编写了针对这些具体问题的宣传小册子,以便在家长中广泛散发。结论:本研究试图了解在当前大流行形势下父母对养育挑战的看法和经验。父母的叙述强调了一些与“新常态”有关的独特挑战。在大流行期间传播教育和信息资源是一项必要的系统应对措施,将在资源有限的情况下使社区受益。
