The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly affected American families and children, including through the closure or change in the nature of their care and school settings. As the pandemic has persisted, many children remain in remote schooling and those attending in-person childcare or school have contended with unpredictable closures. This study investigated the frequency and consequences of disruptions to children's childcare and school arrangements during Fall 2020. The sample is parents who were hourly service-sector workers prior to the pandemic, had a young child between the ages of 3 and 8, and were at least partially responsible for their children's school and/or care in Fall 2020 (N = 676); half of the sample were non-Hispanic Black, 22% were Hispanic, and 18% are non-Hispanic White. Parents were asked to complete 30 days of daily surveys about whether their care and school arrangements went smoothly and as predicted that day, about their mood, parenting behaviors, and children's behavior. Results showed that daily disruptions to care and school were common, with families reporting a disruption on 24% of days. Families with children in exclusively remote schooling experienced more frequent disruption than families with children in in-person care or school. For all families, care or school disruptions were related to worse child behavior, more negative parental mood, and increased likelihood of losing temper and punishment. Within-family mediation suggests that parents' difficulties supporting children's learning, and to a lesser degree their mood and parenting behaviors, partially mediate effects of disruptions on child behavior.

COVID-19 大流行期间日常学校和护理中断对儿童行为问题的影响。


COVID-19 大流行深刻影响了美国家庭和儿童，包括关闭或改变了他们的看护和学校环境的性质。随着疫情持续蔓延，许多儿童仍在远程接受教育，而那些到现场托儿所或学校就读的儿童则面临着不可预测的停课。本研究调查了 2020 年秋季儿童保育和学校安排受到干扰的频率和后果。样本是在大流行之前担任小时服务行业工人的父母，他们有一个 3 岁至 8 岁的幼儿，并且在2020 年秋季至少对孩子的学校和/或护理负有部分责任 (N = 676)；一半的样本是非西班牙裔黑人，22% 是西班牙裔，18% 是非西班牙裔白人。家长被要求完成为期 30 天的每日调查，了解他们的看护和学校安排是否顺利，以及当天的预期，了解他们的情绪、养育行为和孩子的行为。结果显示，日常看护和上学受到干扰的情况很常见，有 24% 的家庭报告称受到干扰。有孩子接受完全远程教育的家庭比有孩子在现场看护或学校接受教育的家庭更容易受到干扰。对于所有家庭来说，看护或学校中断都与孩子行为恶化、父母情绪更消极以及发脾气和受到惩罚的可能性增加有关。家庭内部调解表明，父母在支持孩子学习方面的困难，以及在较小程度上他们的情绪和养育行为，在一定程度上调解了干扰对孩子行为的影响。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
