The COVID-19 pandemic has led to widespread social isolation. This study aimed to determine anxiety levels among parents of school-aged children and investigate the associated factors. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, living and working conditions, family relationships, social support (MSPSS) and health status (SF-12) were collected from French parents through an online survey. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) was used to assess anxiety. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the factors associated with moderate to severe anxiety. Among 698 parents, 19.2% experienced moderate to severe anxiety. A low level of resilience (OR = 4.3, 95% CI: 2.7-6.7) and confirmed COVID-19 cases involving hospitalization (OR = 3.8, 95% CI: 2.0-7.3) among individuals in one's household or in the family circle were found to be the main risk factors for moderate to severe anxiety. Other factors were also identified: a level of education less than high school (OR = 2.1, 95% CI: 1.3-3.2), conflicts at home (OR = 2.3, 95% CI: 1.4-3.7), noises outside the home (OR = 2.0, 95% CI: 1.0-3.9), confirmed cases not involving hospitalization (OR = 1.8, 95% CI: 1.0-3.1) and suspected cases (OR = 1.9, 95% CI: 1.0-3.8). Family support was a protective factor. These findings suggest some need for support programs to help parents cope with public health crises and work-family challenges.
COVID-19 大流行导致了广泛的社会隔离。本研究旨在确定学龄儿童父母的焦虑水平，并调查相关因素。通过在线调查，从法国父母那里收集了社会人口统计学特征、生活和工作条件、家庭关系、社会支持（MSPSS）和健康状况（SF-12）的数据。使用广泛性焦虑障碍量表（GAD-7）评估焦虑。进行逻辑回归分析以确定与中度至重度焦虑相关的因素。在 698 名父母中，19.2%经历了中度至重度焦虑。个体家庭或家庭圈子中的低弹性水平（OR=4.3，95%CI：2.7-6.7）和确诊的 COVID-19 病例涉及住院（OR=3.8，95%CI：2.0-7.3）是中度至重度焦虑的主要危险因素。还确定了其他因素：受教育程度低于高中（OR=2.1，95%CI：1.3-3.2）、家庭内部冲突（OR=2.3，95%CI：1.4-3.7）、家庭外部噪音（OR=2.0，95%CI：1.0-3.9）、不涉及住院的确诊病例（OR=1.8，95%CI：1.0-3.1）和疑似病例（OR=1.9，95%CI：1.0-3.8）。家庭支持是一个保护因素。这些发现表明，一些支持计划需要帮助父母应对公共卫生危机和工作家庭挑战。
