Abstract

Abstract This study explored the associations among psychological well-being (PWB), self-compassion, psychological inflexibility (PI), and parenting stress (PS) in 242 urban Indian mothers of children 10 years old and younger in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Regression analysis revealed that greater self-compassion (SC), less PS, and greater psychological flexibility were associated with psychological well-being among the participants. Findings from this study contribute to research on maternal mental health by showing that, even in the context of the COVID-19 crisis, SC, PI, and PS are related to the PWB of urban Indian mothers, thus highlighting a need for evolving gender-based policies and emphasizing specific interventions for this vulnerable population.

COVID-19大流行期间印度母亲的心理健康状况

摘要:本研究探讨了新冠肺炎大流行背景下242名10岁及以下儿童的印度城市母亲的心理健康(PWB)、自我同情、心理不灵活性(PI)和育儿压力(PS)之间的关系。回归分析显示，自我同情程度高、自我同情程度低、心理灵活性高与心理幸福感相关。这项研究的结果表明，即使在2019冠状病毒病危机的背景下，SC、PI和PS也与印度城市母亲的PWB有关，从而突出了制定基于性别的政策的必要性，并强调了针对这一弱势群体的具体干预措施，从而有助于孕产妇心理健康研究。
