Abstract

Understanding predictors and effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic is a top-priority in research endeavors. The impact of COVID-19 on all components of family life and mental health cannot be overstated. This study emphasizes the need to investigate predictors of parents' responses to disaster by conceptualizing the depth of the impact of the pandemic using Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Systems Model. We evaluate parents of infants as the center of the microsystem and discuss the importance of parents' responses to the pandemic for children's development. Specifically, utilizing a prospective design involving a sample of 105 infant-mother-father triads, we test the predictive effects of mothers' and fathers' mental health and infant externalizing behavior assessed prior to the pandemic when infants were 16-months on later pandemic related distress (PRD) approximately 1 year later. Results indicate that for both mothers and fathers, more depressive symptoms during their child's infancy predicted more PRD. Although mothers' reports of more child externalizing behavior significantly predicted more PRD, fathers' reports of externalizing were strongly, positively correlated with their concurrent depressive symptoms but not directly related to PRD. We demonstrate the importance of pre-existing mental health and parents' perceptions of their children's behavior as early as 16 months, in coping with disaster.

婴儿外化行为和父母抑郁症状:父母大流行相关痛苦的前瞻性预测因素
了解COVID-19大流行的预测因素和影响是研究工作的重中之重。COVID-19对家庭生活和心理健康的所有组成部分的影响怎么强调都不为过。本研究强调有必要通过使用Bronfenbrenner的生物生态系统模型概念化流行病影响的深度来调查父母对灾难反应的预测因素。我们评价婴儿父母作为微系统的中心,并讨论父母应对大流行对儿童发展的重要性。具体来说,我们利用一项涉及105个婴儿-母亲-父亲三元组样本的前瞻性设计,测试了母亲和父亲的心理健康和婴儿外化行为在大流行前(婴儿16个月时)对大约1年后大流行相关焦虑(PRD)的预测作用。结果表明,对于母亲和父亲来说,在孩子的婴儿期出现更多的抑郁症状预示着更多的PRD。虽然母亲报告的更多的孩子外化行为显著地预测了更多的抑郁症,但父亲报告的外化行为与他们并发的抑郁症状呈强烈正相关,但与抑郁症没有直接关系。我们证明了早在孩子16个月时就存在的心理健康和父母对孩子行为的看法在应对灾难中的重要性。

期刊介绍: Infancy, the official journal of the International Society on Infant Studies, emphasizes the highest quality original research on normal and aberrant infant development during the first two years. Both human and animal research are included. In addition to regular length research articles and brief reports (3000-word maximum), the journal includes solicited target articles along with a series of commentaries; debates, in which different theoretical positions are presented along with a series of commentaries; and thematic collections, a group of three to five reports or summaries of research on the same issue, conducted independently at different laboratories, with invited commentaries.
