Resumo

The coronavirus pandemic has created an unexpected health alert situation that has been verystressful for both children and adults. However, few studies have explored to what extent the emo-tional management of families during confinement may have influenced the mental health of chil-dren. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to analyze whether parents’ level of stress, theirparenting satisfaction, and their emotion regulation strategies were related to their children’s symp-tomatology. The study sample consisted of 219 parents of Spanish children aged 3 to 18 years (M= 8.30; SD= 4.35). Participants completed an online form to measure their parenting satisfaction(KPS), perceived stress (PSS-10) and emotional regulation strategies (ERQ) during pandemic con-finement. The results indicated that there was a significant relationship between children’s psycho-logical difficulties and parental stress, with parental stress being a predictor of greater child symp-tomatology. Besides, parental stress was associated with less use of cognitive reappraisal and moreuse of expressive suppression as emotion regulation strategies. The use of expressive suppressionas an emotion regulation strategy was related to higher symptomatology in children. On the otherhand, greater parenting satisfaction was associated with lower parental stress and children’s symp-tomatology. In conclusion, the study findings suggest that parental stress due to the COVID-19 sit-uation had negative repercussions on the emotional state of their children. Therefore, it is necessaryto provide families with resources to facilitate coping with these stressful situations and promotegreater family well-being.
