Positive and consistent parenting practices are associated with the positive mental health of children. However, little is understood about the implications of the Russian military invasion on family dynamics in Ukraine.
This research aims to estimate the prevalence of childhood conduct disorder (CD) and bullying perpetration and their association with parenting practices among Ukrainian children living in proximity to the war.
The sample included 2763 Ukrainian children ranging in age from 10 to 17 years (M = 12.6, SD = 1.23), 56.23 % girls. Children attended public secondary schools in Eastern Ukraine, mostly in Kharkiv and Kharkiv oblasts (regions).
Children reported on sociodemographic characteristics, parenting practices, CD, and bullying perpetration using smartphones, computers, or tablets, at home or in school IT classrooms. Data were collected on a secure online platform.
Children reported teasing (23.68 %), spreading rumors (24.51 %), helping to harass (17.31 %), threatening to hurt or hit (21.65 %) other students, breaking rules (28.13 %), getting in fights (17.13 %), cheating (43.16 %), and being spanked by parents (30 %). Also, 1.83 % of girls and 3.43 % of boys met a borderline cutoff for CD. Lack of parent involvement was associated with increased CD and bullying risks. Poor parent monitoring, inconsistent discipline, and corporal punishment were associated with increased CD but not with bullying. CD mediated the association of poor monitoring, inconsistent discipline, and corporal punishment with bullying.
Parental involvement, monitoring, consistent discipline, and avoidance of physical punishments are important practices that can reduce disruptive behavior and aggressive tendencies among Ukrainian children affected by the Russian war.
积极且一致的育儿方式与儿童的积极心理健康状况相关。然而，对于俄罗斯军事入侵对乌克兰家庭动态的影响，人们了解甚少。
本研究旨在估计生活在靠近战争地区的乌克兰儿童中品行障碍（CD）和欺凌行为的发生率，以及它们与育儿方式的关联。
样本包括2763名年龄在10至17岁之间的乌克兰儿童（平均年龄M = 12.6，标准差SD = 1.23），其中56.23%为女孩。这些儿童就读于乌克兰东部的公立中学，主要集中在哈尔科夫市和哈尔科夫州。
孩子们通过智能手机、电脑或平板电脑，在家中或学校的信息技术教室报告社会人口学特征、育儿方式、品行障碍和欺凌行为。数据在一个安全的在线平台上收集。
孩子们报告了戏弄他人（23.68%）、传播谣言（24.51%）、协助骚扰（17.31%）、威胁伤害或殴打（21.65%）其他学生、违反规则（28.13%）、打架（17.13%）、作弊（43.16%）以及被父母打屁股（30%）的情况。此外，1.83%的女孩和3.43%的男孩达到了品行障碍的临界值。父母参与度低与品行障碍和欺凌风险增加相关。父母监督不力、纪律不一致和体罚与品行障碍增加相关，但与欺凌行为无关。品行障碍介导了监督不力、纪律不一致和体罚与欺凌行为之间的关联。
父母的参与、监督、一致的纪律以及避免身体惩罚是重要的做法，可以减少受俄罗斯战争影响的乌克兰儿童的破坏性行为和攻击倾向。
