The current study focuses on parental experiences in the presence of their children, during ongoing stressful events resulting from missiles attacks. The findings further elucidate the mechanisms through which parenting is impacted by exposure to mass conflict. Semistructured in-depth interviews were held with 40 parents, 30 women and 10 men, from different families, between the ages of 28 and 45. All of the participants had been living approximately 10 km from the Gaza Strip border for more than two years, residing either in rural communities or in the city of Sderot, and all reported being exposed to life-threatening situations of missiles attacks. Data were structured around three themes: (1) parental feelings of losing control, (2) parental coping methods of restoring control, and (3) parental self-perception as child protector. Results demonstrate the need for greater acknowledgement of parent-informed interventions that could give them a partial feeling of restoring their parental sense of control. Such challenges could be addressed by parenting guidance, to reduce the impact of trauma experienced by children.

目前的研究侧重于父母在孩子在场的情况下，在导弹袭击造成的持续压力事件中的经历。研究结果进一步阐明了暴露于大规模冲突影响养育子女的机制。对年龄在 28 至 45 岁之间的 40 名父母（30 名女性和 10 名男性）进行了半结构化深度访谈。 所有参与者都在距离加沙地带边境约 10 公里的地方居住了两年多，居住在农村社区或斯德洛特市，并且都报告说曾面临过威胁生命的导弹袭击情况。数据围绕三个主题构建：（1）父母失去控制的感觉，（2）父母恢复控制的应对方法，以及（3）父母作为儿童保护者的自我认知。结果表明，需要更多地承认父母知情干预，这可能会让他们部分感觉恢复父母的控制感。这些挑战可以通过育儿指导来解决，以减少儿童遭受创伤的影响。
