Abstract

ABSTRACT This exploratory study examines parents’ views of their parenting self-efficacy and children’s behaviour during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Greece. One hundred and fifty-nine parents whose children were 3–5 years old completed an online survey. The Short-Form of the Self-Efficacy for Parenting Tasks Index-Toddler Scale (SEPTI-TS) and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) were used to assess parents’ self-efficacy and children’s behaviour problems, respectively. Data were collected from the 1st of April to the 31st of May 2020. Results from the descriptive statistical analysis revealed that young children did not show any behavioural challenges during this period, whereas parents experienced low levels of self-efficacy for their parenting skills, especially on discipline and routines. The results from MANOVA analysis demonstrated that a child’s total difficulties score impacted on a parent’s self-efficacy. The findings suggest that intervention programmes and policies that focus on parents’ support can enhance parents’ self-efficacy during times of crisis.

希腊第一波新冠肺炎疫情中父母自我效能感与儿童行为

摘要：这项探索性研究调查了希腊第一波新冠肺炎疫情期间父母对其养育自我效能和儿童行为的看法。159名孩子年龄在3-5岁的父母完成了一项在线调查。采用父母任务自我效能指数幼儿量表（SEPTI-TS）和优势与困难问卷（SDQ）分别评估父母的自我效能感和儿童的行为问题。数据收集时间为2020年4月1日至5月31日。描述性统计分析的结果显示，在此期间，幼儿没有表现出任何行为挑战，而父母在育儿技能方面的自我效能感较低，尤其是在纪律和日常生活方面。MANOVA分析的结果表明，孩子的总困难分数会影响父母的自我效能感。研究结果表明，以父母支持为重点的干预计划和政策可以提高父母在危机时期的自我效能。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
