Abstract

The COVID-19 global pandemic has forced millions of people to stay confined at home, increasing symptoms of anxiety and stress levels. Women who are also mothers, for their part, not only face the demands of motherhood but must combine working life with family life locked down in their homes. Main objective was to develop an explanatory model of the psychological consequences of COVID-19 and parental and perceived stress in mothers. A total of 261 mothers were evaluated coinciding with the lockdown imposed by the Spanish Government. The model displayed adequate indices and it was found that symptoms of anxiety in mothers increased the levels of perceived stress. The model allows to understand the close relationships between the psychological consequences of lockdown and stress in mothers. Understanding these relationships will help to prepare and direct psychological interventions in this population in the case of a possible new surge.

COVID-19封锁期间母亲的焦虑症状:结构方程模型方法

2019冠状病毒病全球大流行迫使数百万人呆在家里，加剧了焦虑和压力的症状。对身为人母的妇女来说，她们不仅要面对为人母的要求，而且必须把工作生活和家庭生活锁在家里结合起来。主要目标是建立一个解释COVID-19心理后果以及母亲的父母压力和感知压力的模型。在西班牙政府实施封锁期间，共有261名母亲接受了评估。该模型显示了足够的指数，发现母亲的焦虑症状增加了感知压力的水平。该模型可以让我们理解禁闭的心理后果与母亲压力之间的密切关系。了解这些关系将有助于在可能出现新的激增的情况下对这一人群进行准备和指导心理干预。
