To investigate the different styles of parenting in the State of Qatar, a country that is considered a cosmopolitan hub with rapid development.
A cross-sectional study was conducted at Sidra Medicine, the only tertiary pediatric hospital in Qatar. Parents of children 3-14 years old were offered a questionnaire.
A total of 114 questionnaires were completed (response rate = 95%). Approximately 65% of parents were between 30 and 39 years of age. Almost 90% of parents state that they are confident of their parenting ability. More than 90% of the participating parents stated that they are responsive to their child's feeling and needs, give comfort and understanding when their child is upset, praise their child when well-behaved, give reasons why rules should be followed, help children understand the impact of their behavior, explain consequences of bad behavior, take into account their child's desire before asking him/her to do something, encourage their child to freely express him/herself when disagreeing with his/her parents, and show respect to their child's opinion. However, 60% of parents sometimes scold, yell, and criticize their child when he/she misbehaves but less than 50% of them use threats as a consequence with little or no justification. Furthermore, two-thirds of parents give consequences by putting their child off somewhere with little or no explanation. Moreover, one in four participants gives in to their child when he/she causes a commotion about something, threatens their child with consequences more often than actually giving them, and states consequences to their child and do not actually do them.
Residents in Qatar have a mixed type of parental style (authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive). This study will guide us to raise the awareness about the types of parenting style in Qatar, in order to provide professional parenting counseling taking into consideration the cultural background.
在被视为快速发展的国际化枢纽的卡塔尔国,调查不同的育儿方式。
在卡塔尔唯一的三级儿科医院西德拉医学中心开展了一项横断面研究。向3至14岁儿童的家长发放了问卷。
共完成114份问卷(回复率=95%)。约65%的家长年龄在30至39岁之间。近90%的家长表示对自己的育儿能力有信心。超过90%的参与家长表示,他们对孩子的感受和需求有回应,在孩子心烦意乱时给予安慰和理解,在孩子表现良好时表扬孩子,给出遵守规则的理由,帮助孩子理解其行为的影响,解释不良行为的后果,在要求孩子做某事之前考虑孩子的意愿,鼓励孩子在不同意父母意见时自由表达自己,并尊重孩子的意见。然而,60%的家长在孩子行为不端时有时会责骂、吼叫和批评孩子,但其中不到50%的家长在几乎没有或没有正当理由的情况下使用威胁手段。此外,三分之二的家长在几乎没有或没有解释的情况下,把孩子支到别的地方作为惩罚措施。此外,四分之一的参与者在孩子因某事吵闹时会向孩子让步,比实际实施惩罚措施更频繁地用惩罚措施威胁孩子,并且只是对孩子说了惩罚措施但实际上并未执行。
卡塔尔居民的育儿方式混合了权威型、专制型和放任型。本研究将指导我们提高对卡塔尔育儿方式类型的认识,以便在考虑文化背景的情况下提供专业的育儿咨询。
