To examine the early impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on rural parental stress and family behaviors, parents who participated in a 2-4 grade pediatric obesity intervention completed a survey in May 2020. Parents (N=77) experienced 7.8±2.7 events on the COVID-19 Exposure and Family Impact Scales (CEFIS) with an average impact of 2.5±0.5, with many parents reporting moderate stress (73%). Parental stress was predictive of personal well-being getting 'worse' while loss of income events were predictive of family routines getting 'better.' Professionals working with rural families may want to assess for these factors when promoting positive changes in family health behaviors.
为了研究新冠疫情对农村父母压力和家庭行为的早期影响,参与一项针对二至四年级儿童肥胖干预项目的家长们于2020年5月完成了一项调查。家长们(N = 77)在新冠暴露与家庭影响量表(CEFIS)上经历了7.8±2.7个事件,平均影响为2.5±0.5,许多家长报告有中度压力(73%)。父母压力预示着个人幸福感“变差”,而收入损失事件预示着家庭日常“变好”。与农村家庭打交道的专业人员在促进家庭健康行为的积极变化时,可能需要评估这些因素。
