Abstract

ABSTRACT The relationship between being a parent and personal well-being has been the topic of interest and debate in recent decades. However, most of the studies in this field are from high-income countries in North America and Europe. This is an important limitation since parenthood is a phenomenon highly dependent on sociocultural context. The purpose of this article was to identify and examine the main findings related to the well-being of mothers and fathers in Latin America through a systematic review of the scientific literature. This review shows that, in general, mothers and fathers expressed feelings of well-being. However, parenthood significantly affected their daily lives and simultaneously represented a source of frustration and displeasure. Gender stereotypes, the type of family and work–family conflicts were variables relevant to these factors. Our results show the importance of developing policies and strategies that favour gender equity and provide support for vulnerable families in Latin America countries.

拉丁美洲父母的幸福：文献系统回顾

摘要近几十年来，为人父母与个人幸福之间的关系一直是人们关注和争论的话题。然而，该领域的大多数研究都来自北美和欧洲的高收入国家。这是一个重要的局限性，因为为人父母是一种高度依赖于社会文化背景的现象。本文的目的是通过对科学文献的系统回顾，确定并研究与拉丁美洲母亲和父亲的福祉有关的主要发现。综述显示，总体而言，母亲和父亲都表达了幸福感。然而，为人父母对他们的日常生活产生了重大影响，同时也带来了挫折和不快。性别陈规定型观念、家庭类型和工作与家庭之间的冲突是与这些因素相关的变量。我们的研究结果表明，制定有利于性别平等的政策和战略并为拉丁美洲国家的弱势家庭提供支持非常重要。

期刊介绍： Child Care in Practice is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that provides an international forum for professionals working in all disciplines in the provision of children’s services, including social work, social care, health care, medicine, psychology, education, the police and probationary services, and solicitors and barristers working in the family law and youth justice sectors. The strategic aims and objectives of the journal are: • To develop the knowledge base of practitioners, managers and other professionals responsible for the delivery of professional child care services. The journal seeks to contribute to the achievement of quality services and the promotion of the highest standards. • To achieve an equity of input from all disciplines working with children. The multi-disciplinary nature of the journal reflects that the key to many successful outcomes in the child care field lies in the close co-operation between different disciplines. • To raise awareness of often-neglected issues such as marginalization of ethnic minorities and problems consequent upon poverty and disability. • To keep abreast of and continue to influence local and international child care practice in response to emerging policy. • To include the views of those who are in receipt of multi-disciplinary child care services. • To welcome submissions on promising practice developments and the findings from new research to highlight the breadth of the work of the journal’s work.
