Evidence of psychological distress in families during COVID-19 outbreak are arising. However, the perceived changes in psychological adjustment during home confinement with respect to the period before the pandemic have not been addressed yet. Moreover, little is known about the role of coparenting and specific COVID-19 contextual variables on parental stress and children's behavioral difficulties in the Italian context. Using a cross-sectional survey, we collected data on 841 Italian parents of children aged 3–11 years with typical development during the home confinement (20th April–18th May). We analyzed levels of parental stress, coparenting, and child externalizing behaviors before and during the home confinement. Additionally, hierarchical regressions were performed to investigate predictors of parental stress and child externalizing behaviors during the lockdown. Results showed that parental stress (especially in mothers) and child externalizing behaviors increased during the lockdown period. Coparenting was a strong predictor of parental stress, together with being a mother, younger child age, less time dedicated to the child, and scarce feasibility of remote working. Besides, child externalizing behaviors were predicted by male gender, less parental time dedicated to the child, higher parental stress, and child distance learning workload. Our findings indicate a negative impact of COVID-19 lockdown in both parents and children, suggesting that positive coparenting and time dedicated to children may help to reduce the detrimental effect of pandemic restrictions on family adjustment.

意大利对 COVID-19 封锁的家庭调整:父母压力、共同养育和儿童外化行为

在 COVID-19 爆发期间家庭出现心理困扰的证据正在出现。然而,与大流行前时期相比,居家隔离期间心理调整的感知变化尚未得到解决。此外,在意大利背景下,关于共同养育和特定 COVID-19 情境变量对父母压力和儿童行为困难的作用知之甚少。通过一项横断面调查,我们收集了 841 名意大利父母的数据,他们的 3-11 岁儿童在居家隔离期间(4 月 20 日至 5 月 18 日)发育典型。我们分析了在家坐月子之前和期间父母的压力、共同养育和孩子外化行为的水平。此外,进行分层回归以研究锁定期间父母压力和儿童外化行为的预测因素。结果表明,在封锁期间,父母的压力(尤其是母亲)和孩子的外化行为增加了。共同养育是父母压力的一个强有力的预测因素,包括作为母亲、孩子年龄较小、花在孩子身上的时间较少以及远程工作的可行性不足。此外,男性、父母花在孩子身上的时间更少、父母压力更大和孩子远程学习工作量都可以预测孩子的外化行为。我们的研究结果表明,COVID-19 封锁对父母和孩子都有负面影响,
