The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had profound effects on all aspects of society. Families were among those directly impacted by the first measures imposed by health authorities worldwide to contain the spread of the Sars-CoV-2 virus, where social distancing and mandatory quarantine were the main approaches implemented. Notably, little is yet known about how social distancing during COVID-19 has altered families' daily routines, particularly regarding music-related behaviors. The aim of this study was 2-fold: (i) to explore changes in families' daily routine and caregivers' levels of well-being and stress during the COVID-19 outbreak in Brazil and (ii) to investigate whether musical behaviors of caregivers and the children under their care (aged from 3 to 6 years old) changed during social distancing. One hundred and eighty-eight caregivers residing in Brazil participated in an online cross-sectional study conducted between July and August 2020. Our findings suggest significant changes in families' dynamics during the COVID-19 outbreak, with parents (especially mothers) spending more time on childcare and a substantial decrease in caregiver's well-being. Regarding music-related behaviors, our results revealed considerable changes in caregivers' and children's musical activities at home during social distancing, including an increase in child-only musical behaviors and shared caregiver-child activities. Moreover, sociodemographic factors such as caregiver background and well-being as well as the child's disability status significantly influenced musical engagement at home during social distancing. This study captured some features of the home musical environment of middle-class families in Brazil in the first stages of social distancing restrictions during the pandemic and caregivers' role in providing an environment where musical experiences are nurtured. Further research is needed to better understand aspects such as the long-term impact of the changes of musical behaviors at home on musical parenting and families' well-being.
2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行对社会的各个方面都产生了深远影响。家庭是受到全球卫生当局为遏制严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（Sars-CoV-2）病毒传播而采取的首批措施直接影响的群体之一，社交距离和强制隔离是主要实施手段。值得注意的是，关于COVID-19期间的社交距离如何改变家庭日常生活，尤其是与音乐相关的行为，目前所知甚少。本研究的目的有两个：（i）探讨巴西COVID-19疫情期间家庭日常生活的变化以及照顾者的幸福感和压力水平；（ii）调查在社交距离期间，照顾者及其照顾的3至6岁儿童的音乐行为是否发生了变化。2020年7月至8月期间，188名居住在巴西的照顾者参与了一项在线横断面研究。我们的研究结果表明，在COVID-19疫情期间家庭动态发生了显著变化，父母（尤其是母亲）在育儿方面花费了更多时间，照顾者的幸福感大幅下降。关于与音乐相关的行为，我们的结果显示，在社交距离期间，照顾者和孩子在家中的音乐活动发生了相当大的变化，包括仅孩子的音乐行为和照顾者与孩子共同参与的活动有所增加。此外，照顾者背景和幸福感等社会人口学因素以及孩子的残疾状况，在社交距离期间对家庭音乐参与有显著影响。本研究捕捉到了巴西中产阶级家庭在疫情期间社交距离限制初期家庭音乐环境的一些特征，以及照顾者在提供培养音乐体验环境方面的作用。需要进一步研究以更好地理解诸如家庭音乐行为变化对音乐育儿和家庭幸福感的长期影响等方面。
