Abstract

Aims: The COVID-19 pandemic had a demonstrated impact on parenting but little is known about how parental drinking, stress, and use of aggressive discipline (a parenting behavior associated with abusive parenting and negative outcomes for children) have changed over time. We examine rates of alcohol use, stress, and aggressive discipline at three time points during the COVID-19 pandemic and investigate what maternal, child, and time-varying factors predict weekly use of aggressive parenting.

Methods: We use longitudinal data from the Central Ohio Family Study (COFLS), including women (n = 234) with a child between the ages of 0-12 and recruited via Facebook, Craigslist.org, and word of mouth. Participants completed an on-line survey for 3 consecutive years beginning in April-May 2020 and 1 and 2 years later. Multilevel logistic regression models were used to examine use of aggressive discipline at the three time points, controlling for time-varying, and maternal and child characteristics.

Results: Past week use of aggressive discipline peaked in Wave 1 (35.9%) and decreased at Wave 2 (3.8%) and Wave 3 (28.2%; OR = .463; 95% CI: .369, .580). Parental stress (OR = 1.052; 95% CI: 1.010, 1.096), social isolation (OR = 1.412; 95% CI: 1.197, 1.668), social companionship (OR = 1.113; 95% CI: 1.007, 1.229), and frequency of drinking (OR = 1.049; 95% CI: 1.014, 1.085) were significantly related to higher odds of using aggressive discipline over the three waves.

Conclusions: Although rates of aggressive discipline declined, frequency of drinking and stress demonstrated a consistent pattern in relation to aggressive discipline during the COVID-19 pandemic.

在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，母亲饮酒、压力和使用攻击性育儿方法。

目的：COVID-19大流行对养育子女产生了明显的影响，但人们对父母饮酒、压力和使用攻击性纪律（一种与虐待子女和对儿童产生负面影响相关的养育行为）如何随着时间的推移而改变知之甚少。我们在COVID-19大流行期间的三个时间点检查了酒精使用率、压力和攻击性管教率，并调查了母亲、儿童和时间变化因素对每周使用攻击性育儿的预测。方法：我们使用来自俄亥俄州中部家庭研究（COFLS）的纵向数据，包括通过Facebook、Craigslist.org和口口相传招募的孩子年龄在0-12岁之间的女性（n = 234）。参与者从2020年4月到5月以及1年和2年后连续3年完成了一项在线调查。使用多水平逻辑回归模型来检查在三个时间点使用侵略性纪律，控制时变和母亲和儿童特征。结果：过去一周，积极管教的使用在第1波达到高峰（35.9%），在第2波（3.8%）和第3波（28.2%）下降；or = .463；95% ci: 0.369, 0.580)。父母压力(OR = 1.052；95% CI: 1.010, 1.096)，社会隔离(OR = 1.412；95% CI: 1.197, 1.668)，社会陪伴(OR = 1.113；95% CI: 1.007, 1.229)和饮酒频率(OR = 1.049；95% CI: 1.014, 1.085)与三波中使用积极训练的高几率显著相关。结论：尽管攻击性纪律发生率有所下降，但在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，饮酒和压力的频率与攻击性纪律表现出一致的模式。

期刊介绍： About the Journal Alcohol and Alcoholism publishes papers on the biomedical, psychological, and sociological aspects of alcoholism and alcohol research, provided that they make a new and significant contribution to knowledge in the field. Papers include new results obtained experimentally, descriptions of new experimental (including clinical) methods of importance to the field of alcohol research and treatment, or new interpretations of existing results. Theoretical contributions are considered equally with papers dealing with experimental work provided that such theoretical contributions are not of a largely speculative or philosophical nature.
