During the recent COVID‐19 outbreak in Spain, we explored the individual and relational well‐being of people confined together with their partners and/or children during the first 3 weeks of state‐regulated lockdown. Adults 18 years or older (N = 407) completed an online survey that included demographic, household, and employment information along with standardized measures of psychological distress (State‐Trait Anxiety and Beck Depression) and relationship functioning—either the Dyadic Adjustment Scale if there were no children in the household or a Basic Family Relations Evaluation Questionnaire (CERFB) measuring conjugal, parental, and coparental functions. Qualitative analyses of responses to an open‐ended question about perceived changes in couple or family dynamics during lockdown revealed nine specific themes comprising two overarching categories: relational improvement and deterioration. The overall prevalence of improvement themes (61.7%) exceeded deterioration themes (41.0%), with increased (re)connection and conflict atmosphere cited most often. Quantitative analyses found elevated levels of state anxiety but not trait anxiety or depression during lockdown. Consistent with the qualitative results, couples having no children at home reported high levels of dyadic adjustment, but with children present CERFB parental functioning exceeded conjugal functioning, a pattern sometimes associated with child triangulation into adult conflicts. Although correlates of psychological distress (e.g., unemployment, perceived economic risk) were relatively stable across subgroups, predictors of relationship functioning varied substantially with household/parental status (e.g., telecommuting and employment facilitated conjugal functioning only for couples with children).

对西班牙国家监管的 COVID-19 封锁期间个人、夫妇和父母功能的混合方法研究。

最近在西班牙爆发的新冠肺炎 (COVID-19) 疫情期间，我们探讨了在国家管制封锁的前 3 周内与伴侣和/或儿童被限制在一起的人们的个人和关系福祉。18 岁或以上的成年人 ( N  = 407) 完成了一项在线调查，其中包括人口、家庭和就业信息，以及心理困扰（状态特质焦虑和贝克抑郁）和关系功能的标准化测量——二元调整量表（如果有）家庭中没有孩子，或者使用基本家庭关系评估问卷 (CERFB) 衡量夫妻、父母和共同父母的功能。对有关封锁期间夫妻或家庭动态感知变化的开放式问题的回答进行定性分析，发现了九个具体主题，包括两个总体类别：关系改善和恶化。改善主题的总体流行度 (61.7%) 超过了恶化主题 (41.0%)，最常提到的是增加（重新）联系和冲突气氛。定量分析发现，封锁期间状态焦虑水平升高，但特质焦虑或抑郁水平没有升高。与定性结果一致，家中没有孩子的夫妇报告了高水平的二元调整，但有孩子的 CERFB 父母功能超过了夫妻功能，这种模式有时与儿童三角测量到成人冲突有关。尽管心理困扰（例如，失业、感知的经济风险）的相关性在各亚组中相对稳定，但关系功能的预测因素随家庭/父母状况的不同而有很大差异（例如，远程办公和就业仅促进有孩子的夫妇的婚姻功能）。
