“…Finally, another essential factor is the intergenerational transmission of trauma and the protective or, conversely, risky role of parental reaction in the development of trauma in children. Indeed, previous studies showed that parents tend to communicate their stress to their children when unusual and unpleasant event happens, particularly when the event is perceived as traumatic by parents (e.g., in case of domestic accident, Blavier, Fivet, Gallo, & Wertz, 2020;Gallo, Wertz, Kairis, & Blavier, 2019). In this context, our study is particularly interested in the experience of parenthood during the lockdown.…”

“…Such parental stress can affect care and family relationships. In this context, the health professional must seek the implementation of care considering the members and the family function, always aiming to promote resilience, psychological well-being and, consequently, the quality of life of the nucleus (Desiningrum et al, 2019;Derguy et al, 2018;Estrem et al, 2018;Gallo et al, 2019;Mitchell et al, 2018;Pratt & Skelton, 2018;Lu et al, 2017).…”

Objetivo: Identificar evidências de inclusão e exclusão sociais percebidas por membros familiares, devido à convivência com pessoa com diagnóstico de Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA). Metodologia: Estudo com abordagem qualitativa, no qual fizeram parte cinco famílias que convivem com pessoa com diagnóstico de TEA, sendo pais (2), mães (5), irmãos (2) e avó (1). A coleta de dados foi por meio de entrevista, gravada, utilizando-se a Técnica do Incidente Crítico. Os dados foram organizados utilizando-se à análise de conteúdo temática de Bardin. Resultados: Emergiram duas categorias temáticas: “O contexto de vida do autista e suas adversidades diante do estigma e da exclusão” e “Um olhar positivo para o Transtorno do Espectro do Autismo”. A primeira aborda as adversidades e dificuldades enfrentadas na identificação do transtorno e no processo de adaptabilidade familiar; a falta de conhecimento a respeito do TEA pela sociedade, e de membros familiares, que propiciam a ações de exclusão social. A segunda exibe o aprendizado na convivência com o TEA, a adaptabilidade e o crescimento nas relações intrafamiliares. Conclusão: Destarte, o convívio cotidiano com uma pessoa com TEA caracteriza-se com adversidades, estigma e a exclusão social. Contudo, também, distingue a resiliência e a superação dos familiares.

“…For example, Wilson et al (2010) found that parental reactions regarding the 9/11 terrorist attacks predicted children's post-traumatic stress symptoms after indirect exposure. Another study showed a positive relation between the intensity of parental distress at the time of an accident and subsequent child trauma symptomatology 5-8 weeks after the event (Gallo et al, 2019). A reciprocal process in which children also influence how parents cope has been proposed as well, although child functioning was found to predict parental outcomes in a smaller number of studies (Cobham et al, 2016).…”

Child Care in Times of COVID-19: Predictors of Distress in Dutch Children and Parents When Re-entering Center-Based Child Care After a 2-Month Lockdown

et al. 2021

As a consequence of the outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) child care facilities all over the world were temporarily closed to minimize the spread of the virus. In Netherlands, the first closure lasted for almost 2 months. The return to the child care center after this significant interruption was expected to be challenging, because earlier studies demonstrated that transitions into child care can be stressful for both children and their parents. The current paper retrospectively examined the distress of Dutch children (aged 0–4) and their parents during the first 2 weeks after the reopening of child care centers, and what factors accounted for individual differences in distress. In total, 694 parents filled out an online questionnaire about stress during closure and distress after the reopening of child care centers. Furthermore, questions regarding several demographic variables and child care characteristics were included, as well as questionnaires measuring child temperament, parental separation anxiety, and parental perception of the child care quality. Results showed that younger children and children with parents scoring higher on separation anxiety experienced more distress after the reopening, as reported by parents. Furthermore, children were more distressed upon return when they attended the child care center for less hours per week after the reopening, experienced less stress during closure, and grew up in a one-parent family. With regard to parental distress after the reopening, we found that parents scoring higher on separation anxiety and fear of COVID-19 experienced more distress. Moreover, parents experiencing less stress during closure and mothers were more distressed when the child returned to the child care center. Finally, concurrent child and parental distress after reopening were positively related. The results of the current study may help professional caregivers to identify which children and parents benefit from extra support when children return to the child care center after an interruption. Especially the role that parental separation anxiety played in predicting both child and parental distress deserves attention. More research is required in order to study the underlying mechanisms of these associations and to design appropriate interventions.
