“…The association for fathers was of medium strength, while the same association in mothers was of low strength. Although further research is needed regarding the association between fathers’ FPP and their own SWFoL, it is feasible that this result may be reflecting a higher concern of fathers in engaging in healthy eating behaviors during the pandemic, as it has been reported in different countries ( 13 , 32 ). However, it is also possible that fathers’ modeling increased during the pandemic in keeping with a higher frequency of family meals in comparison to the pre-pandemic period ( 36 , 39 ).…”

“…The COVID-19 pandemic was declared by mid-March 2020 in Chile, and the city of Rancagua was on mandatory lockdown during June and July 2020. However, most workers in the country, particularly women, began to work from home at the start of the pandemic ( 32 ).…”

“…The SWFoL ( 44 ) is a one-dimension, five-item scale that measures an individual’s overall assessment of their food and eating habits (e.g., “Food and meals are very positive elements in your life”). The Spanish version of the SWFoL was used ( 67 ), which has been validated and it has shown good internal consistency in samples of adults, adolescents and dual-earner parents in Chile [e.g., ( 4 , 15 , 32 , 36 , 39 – 41 , 57 , 61 )]. Respondents indicate their degree of agreement with each statement using a 6-point Likert scale (1: completely disagree; 6: completely agree).…”

“…Father-child dyads have been less explored in terms of FPP. Evidence to date suggests that fathers are becoming more involved in childcare tasks such as feeding, partly due to the increase of dual-earner families ( 15 , 19 , 28 , 30 , 31 ), and more markedly due to changes in work-home dynamics in response to the COVID-19 pandemic ( 13 , 32 ).…”

Reciprocal family influences in the food domain have been little explored, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. To fill in this gap, this study explored actor and partner effects between parents’ food modeling and parents’ and their adolescent children’s diet quality and satisfaction with food-related life (SWFoL); and the mediating role of diet quality between modeling and SWFoL. This study used a cross-sectional design. A sample of 430 different-sex dual-earner parents and one adolescent child were recruited in Rancagua, Chile, between March and June 2020. Parents answered the modeling dimension of the Comprehensive Feeding Practices Questionnaire. Parents and adolescents answered the Adapted Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) and the SWFoL Scale. Analyses were conducted using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model and structural equation modeling. Results showed that one parent’s modeling enhanced diet quality for themselves, their partner, and the adolescents. Parents’ modeling was associated with their own SWFoL, directly and via their own diet quality. There were positive associations between mothers’ modeling and adolescents’ SWFoL; between mothers’ diet quality and fathers’ SWFoL; and between mothers’ modeling and fathers’ SWFoL via the fathers’ diet quality. Parents’ modeling can improve the three family members’ diet quality, while mothers’ modeling and diet quality showed to improve fathers’ and adolescents’ SWFoL.

“…However, a good and conducive work environment can provide material, psychological and social support. Previous research has stated that a good work environment can provide support for COVID-19 survivors to recover quickly and promote enthusiasm during quarantine [ 50 , 51 ]. Such support can be in the form of food, money, and daily necessities.…”

Background and objective Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) survivors face societal stigma. The study aims to analyze the association of this stigma with the mental health and quality of life of COVID-19 survivors. Methods In this cross-sectional study, we observed 547 adults who were previously documented as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) positive by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, treated in a hospital or an emergency hospital and proven to be SARS-CoV-2 negative by their latest PCR test. We adopted the Berger HIV Stigma Scale to measure stigma; the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Form to measure quality of life; and the Mental Health Inventory-38 to measure mental health. The chi-square and binary logistic regression tests were used to find the correlation between the variables. Results The multivariate analysis revealed that medium stigma was more likely related to quality of life and mental health than low stigma. Females were less likely to experience stigma related to mental health than men, and respondents who worked as laborers and entrepreneurs were less likely to experience stigma related to mental health than those who worked as civil workers/army personnel/teachers/lecturers. COVID-19 survivors experienced medium stigma in society and lower quality of life and mental health status. We found that quality of life and mental health were affected by stigma, sex, and occupation. Conclusion COVID-19 survivors are a vulnerable group that is most at risk when they return to their communities. Creating a safe environment and providing respectful care, including addressing complex stigma factors, is vital for developing appropriate interventions.

Family-to-work conflict has received less attention in the literature compared to work-to-family conflict. This gap in knowledge is more pronounced during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the documented increase in family responsibilities in detriment of work performance, particularly for women. Job satisfaction has been identified as a mediator between the family and work domains for the individual, but these family-to-work dynamics remain unexplored at a dyadic level during the pandemic. Therefore, this study tested the relationship between family-to-work conflict and job and family satisfaction, and the mediating role of job satisfaction between family-to-work conflict and family satisfaction, in dual-earner parents. A non-probability sample of 430 dual-earner parents with adolescent children were recruited in Rancagua, Chile. Mothers and fathers answered an online questionnaire with a measure of family-to-work conflict, the Job Satisfaction Scale and Satisfaction with Family Life Scale. Data was analysed using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model with structural equation modelling. Results showed that, for individuals, a higher family-to-work conflict is linked to lower satisfaction with both their job and family life, and these two types of satisfaction are positively associated with one another. Both parents experience a double negative effect on their family life satisfaction, due to their own, and to their partner’s family-to-work conflict; however, for fathers, this effect from their partner occurs via their own job satisfaction. Limitations and implications of this study are discussed, indicating the need of family-oriented workplace policies with a gender perspective to increase satisfaction in the family domain for workers and their families.
