“…Thus, individuals from both countries place great value on family, and family unity is a source of basic support in their lives [43]. This is in line with findings presented by an HBSC project showing similar proportions of adolescents who reported living with both parents [44]. Additionally, empirical data show high family cohesion, parental support, and family satisfaction in both Portugal and Spain [45].…”

“…Specifically, Spanish and Portuguese families were characterized by good relationships, significant support, and acceptable levels of control [46]. Sociological studies have found that familism is more frequent than individualism in Spain and Portugal [43,44]. These results are important, because warmth and communication are key aspects in optimal parenting.…”

Adolescent Perception of Maternal Practices in Portugal and Spain: Similarities and Differences

et al. 2020

The aim of this study was to compare parenting in two southern European countries, Spain and Portugal, according to adolescent perceptions from a situated perspective. A total of 445 Portuguese (58.88%) and Spanish (41.12%) adolescents completed a questionnaire about maternal practices and provided socio-demographic information. Portuguese and Spanish mothers were more responsive than coercive in controlling adolescents’ compliance and non-compliance situations. Spanish mothers scolded, revoked privileges, and punished physically more often than Portuguese mothers, who used dialogue more often. Multivariate analysis showed three groups of parenting practices. Portuguese mothers were represented mainly in the Indulgent group (81.70%), and Spanish mothers in the Authoritative group (74.40%), whereas the third group (Neglectful) was independent of the country of origin. These results support the theory that research and family intervention should recognize cultural aspects in order to grasp the parenting process.

“…In a study of Spanish and Portuguese adolescents, those with unemployed fathers had lower life satisfaction, compared to adolescents with both parents employed or only mothers unemployed ( Moreno-Maldonado et al, 2020 ). A Portuguese study found that the negative effects of parental unemployment on youth life satisfaction were moderated by youth perceived satisfaction with family life but not by perceived wealth ( Frasquilho et al, 2016 ).…”

This paper extracts, organises and summarises findings on adolescent mental health from a major international population study of young people using a scoping review methodology and applying a bio-ecological framework. Population data has been collected from more than 1.5 million adolescents over 37 years by the Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children: WHO Cross-National (HBSC) Study. The paper reviews the contribution that this long standing study has made to our understanding of the individual, developmental, social, economic, cultural determinants of adolescent mental health by organising the findings of 104 empirical papers that met inclusion criteria, into individual, microsystem, mesosystem and macrosystem levels of the framework. Of these selected papers, 68 were based on national data and the other 36 were based on international data, from varying numbers of countries. Each paper was allocated to a system level in the bio-ecological framework according to the level of its primary focus. The majority (51 papers) investigate individual level determinants. A further 28 concentrate primarily on the microsystem level, 6 on the mesosystem level, and 29 on the macrosystem level. The paper identifies where there is evidence on the determinants of mental health, summarises what we have learned, and highlights research gaps. Implications for the future development of this population health study are discussed in terms of how it may continue to illuminate our understanding of adolescent mental health in a changing world and where new directions are required.

“…Women who reported high life satisfaction had higher scores on PPSS. Life satisfaction is a cognitive‐judgmental process in which a person forms a general perception of their life by comparing it with a personal standard that individuals each set for themselves 21 . A positive and significant relationship between social support and life satisfaction during pregnancy and postpartum has been previously reported 19 .…”

“…Life satisfaction is related to environmental factors and stressful life events, 22 signifying that major life events may impact life satisfaction 23 . However, Suldo and Huebner 24 and Moreno‐Maldonado et al 21 noted that life satisfaction can also act as a protective factor against the negative effects of stressful life events. Lower life satisfaction can signal the need for careful observation for signs of possible postpartum mood disorders 25 .…”

Objective To investigate the predictive factors of receiving spousal support in the postpartum period and its relationship with postpartum depression (PPD). Methods This cross‐sectional study was conducted between January and May 2019 in 250 primiparous women to determine the predictors of spousal social support in the postpartum period. Three scales were used to collect data: The Demographic and Obstetric Checklist, the Postpartum Partner Support Scale, and the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale. Results Multivariate regression showed that the employment status of the spouse and life satisfaction variables were predictive of whether social support was received from a spouse in the postpartum period. In total, the variables examined in this model explained 19% of the variance for a mother receiving spousal social support in the postpartum period. PPD and spousal social support had a moderately inverse and significant correlation (β = –0.39). Conclusion Life satisfaction and employment of the spouse are important predictive variables for receiving social support of the spouse in the postpartum period. There is also a significant inverse relationship between PPD and spousal social support.
