Recent findings suggest that quarantine adversely affects an individual's wellbeing. Social isolation generally leads to many negative psychological outcomes in child development and to significant shifts in parent-child relationships. The aim of the present research was to investigate three aspects of parenting during the COVID-19 quarantine: what activities parents performed better during the quarantine, what difficulties parents had during the quarantine, and what complaints children had living in Suceava, a city that saw the greatest number of infected individuals as well as the largest death toll amongst all regions in Romania. The respondents were 201 parents from Suceava, Romania (M = 36.71, SD = 7.22), who answered a self-reported questionnaire after a quarantine period of between 30 and 33 days (30.04.20-2.05.20) concerning three qualitative questions and items related to parenting activity, parent-child relationships, or child behaviors. Among the key findings, the research found that parents had a good perception of their parenting skills during the quarantine time, the most difficulties reported by parents were about the newly imposed social realities, and the most obvious unmet need of children was the lack of social interactions. The findings bring to light the perception of forced time spent together by parents and children. Further research should investigate how parenting fluctuates in crisis situations such as the one highlighted in this article.
最近的研究结果表明，隔离会对个人的健康产生不良影响。社交隔离通常会导致儿童发展过程中产生许多负面的心理后果，以及亲子关系的重大转变。本研究的目的是调查 COVID-19 隔离期间三个方面的育儿问题：父母在隔离期间表现更好的活动、父母在隔离期间遇到的困难以及生活在苏恰瓦的孩子的抱怨，苏恰瓦是罗马尼亚所有地区中感染人数最多和死亡人数最多的城市。受访者是来自罗马尼亚苏恰瓦的 201 位家长（M = 36.71，SD = 7.22），他们在隔离期间（2020 年 4 月 30 日至 5 月 2 日）回答了一份自我报告的问卷，内容涉及三个定性问题和与育儿活动、亲子关系或儿童行为相关的项目。研究结果发现，父母在隔离期间对自己的育儿技能有很好的评价，父母报告的最大困难是新的社会现实，儿童最明显的未满足需求是缺乏社交互动。研究结果揭示了父母和孩子对被迫共度时光的看法。进一步的研究应该调查在危机情况下，如本文所强调的那样，育儿如何波动。
