Abstract

Objective

The study objective was to examine parental mental health and parenting practices during the pandemic and their association with perceptions of adolescent mental health 2 months later.

Background

Pandemic stress led to greater parental and adolescent mental health issues, including ineffective parenting practices. Parent–adolescent relationship quality may protect parental perceptions of adolescent mental health against ineffective parenting, though few have examined this link.

Method

In a sample of West Texas parents and caregivers (N = 194; 46% women) of adolescents (M_age = 14.2; 35% girls), longitudinal structural equation models were used to separately explore parental perceptions of adolescent depression and anxiety due to COVID-19 stress on parental psychopathology and parenting practices, and the protective role of parent–adolescent relationship quality.

Results

Depression and anxiety models showed transmission from parents to parental perceptions of adolescent's mental health occurred through distinct parenting practices. Parent–adolescent relationship quality ameliorated the effect of inconsistent discipline on later parental perceptions of adolescent depression and anxiety.

Conclusions

Parental mental health and parenting practices can act as mechanisms between their chronic stress experiences and their perceptions of their adolescent child's mental health.

Implications

Promoting mental health resources and parent–adolescent relationship quality may offset the transmission of negative mental health from parents to their adolescents.

在 COVID-19 之后，父母的心理健康对青少年心理健康体验感知的影响作用

研究目的是检查大流行期间父母的心理健康和父母的做法，以及它们与2个月后青少年心理健康观念的关系。背景：大流行压力导致父母和青少年更严重的心理健康问题，包括无效的养育方式。亲子关系的质量可能会保护父母对青少年心理健康的看法，使其免受无效养育的影响，尽管很少有人研究过这种联系。方法对西德克萨斯州的父母和照顾者进行抽样调查(N = 194；46%的女性)(Mage = 14.2；采用纵向结构方程模型，分别探讨父母对新冠肺炎应激导致的青少年抑郁和焦虑的认知对父母精神病理和育儿行为的影响，以及亲子关系质量的保护作用。结果抑郁和焦虑模型表明，父母对青少年心理健康的认知通过不同的养育方式从父母传递到父母。亲子关系质量改善了不一致管教对后来父母对青少年抑郁和焦虑的感知的影响。结论父母的心理健康和教养方式可能是影响父母慢性应激经历对青少年子女心理健康认知的机制。结论提高心理健康资源和亲子关系质量可以抵消父母对青少年负性心理健康的传递。
