Background

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the lives of children and parents, raising concerns about child maltreatment.

Objective

We examined the prevalence of abusive parenting behavior during the pandemic of the COVID-19 and its relations with physical, psychological, and social factors and positive parenting behavior.

Participants and setting

An online survey was performed during the COVID-19 state of emergency in Japan. Participants were 5344 parents of children aged 0–17 years.

Methods

We conducted an anonymous online survey using multiple platforms, including websites of child-related organizations and social networking services (SNS). Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with abusive behavior.

Results

One-fifth of parents reported abusive behaviors, whereas over 80% of parents reported positive parenting behaviors (e.g., empathizing with a child). Abusive parenting behaviors were associated with longer screen time (6+ hours per day: OR, 1.44; 95%CI, 1.05–1.98), poor maternal mental health (K6 = 13+: OR, 2.23; 95%CI, 1.71–2.89), and the occurrence of domestic violence (OR, 4.54; 95%CI, 3.47–5.95). Positive parenting behaviors, especially showing empathy, were associated with lower risks of abusive behaviors (OR, 0.51: 95%CI, 0.39–0.66).

Conclusions

Positive parenting behavior is essential to the prevention of child maltreatment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

紧急状态下 COVID-19 大流行期间日本的虐待和积极育儿行为

背景

2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 大流行改变了儿童和父母的生活，引发了对虐待儿童的担忧。

客观的

我们调查了 COVID-19 大流行期间虐待育儿行为的普遍性及其与身体、心理和社会因素以及积极育儿行为的关系。

参与者和设置

在日本 COVID-19 紧急状态期间进行了在线调查。参与者是 5344 名 0-17 岁儿童的父母。

方法

我们使用多个平台进行了匿名在线调查，包括儿童相关组织的网站和社交网络服务 (SNS)。进行多元逻辑回归分析以确定与虐待行为相关的因素。

结果

五分之一的父母报告了虐待行为，而超过 80% 的父母报告了积极的育儿行为（例如，同情孩子）。虐待性养育行为与较长的屏幕时间（每天 6 小时以上：OR，1.44；95%CI，1.05-1.98）、母亲心理健康状况不佳（K6 = 13+：OR，2.23；95%CI，1.71-2.89）相关), 以及家庭暴力的发生率 (OR, 4.54; 95%CI, 3.47–5.95)。积极的养育行为，尤其是表现出同理心，与较低的虐待行为风险相关（OR，0.51：95%CI，0.39–0.66）。
