Resum

The coronavirus pandemic has created an unexpected health alert situation that has been very stressful for both children and adults. However, few studies have explored to what extent the emotional management of families during confinement may have influenced the mental health of children. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to analyze whether parents’ level of stress, their parenting satisfaction, and their emotion regulation strategies were related to their children’s symptomatology.
The study sample consisted of 219 parents of Spanish children aged 3 to 18 years (M = 8.30; SD = 4.35). Participants completed an online form to measure their parenting satisfaction (KPS), perceived stress (PSS-10) and emotional regulation strategies (ERQ) during pandemic confinement. The results indicated that there was a significant relationship between children’s psychological difficulties and parental stress, with parental stress being a predictor of greater child symptomatology. Besides, parental stress was associated with less use of cognitive reappraisal and more use of expressive suppression as emotion regulation strategies. The use of expressive suppression as an emotion regulation strategy was related to higher symptomatology in children. On the other hand, greater parenting satisfaction was associated with lower parental stress and children’s symptomatology. In conclusion, the study findings suggest that parental stress due to the COVID-19 situation
had negative repercussions on the emotional state of their children. Therefore, it is necessary to provide families with resources to facilitate coping with these stressful situations and promote greater family well-being.
