Resumo(s)
O presente estudo, com mães e pais de crianças em idade escolar, tem os seguintes objetivos: 1) analisar se as mães e os pais se distinguem no stress parental e na satisfação e expectativas parentais; 2) explorar a relação entre o stress parental e a satisfação e expectativas parentais; 3) averiguar a relação das referidas dimensões com variáveis sociodemográficas das figuras parentais e da criança, e com variáveis do contexto familiar. Participaram no estudo 68 mães (G1) e 60 pais (G2) de crianças em idade escolar (6-12 anos). Utilizou-se o Índice de Stress Parental – Versão Reduzida, o Questionário de Satisfação e Expectativas Parentais e um Questionário Sociodemográfico e de Desenvolvimento, para obtenção de informação específica. Verificou-se que os dois grupos não se distinguem significativamente na satisfação e expectativas parentais, mas no caso do stress parental as mães tendem a obter um resultado mais elevado na subescala Dificuldade Parental. Verificou-se ainda que, em ambos os grupos, níveis mais elevados de stress parental se associam com níveis mais baixos de satisfação parental e com expectativas menos positivas. Salientou-se igualmente que, enquanto a satisfação e expectativas parentais tendem a não se associar com as variáveis consideradas (em ambos os grupos), o stress parental relacionou-se quer com variáveis sociodemográficas específicas, das figuras parentais (G1 e G2) e da criança (G2), quer com variáveis do contexto familiar (G1). Este estudo deu um contributo para melhorar o conhecimento sobre a relação entre o stress parental e a satisfação e expectativas parentais, a qual não tem sido valorizada do ponto de vista empírico em amostras não-clínicas.
This study, involving mothers and fathers of school-aged children, has the following goals: 1) to analyze whether mothers and fathers differ in parenting stress and in parenting satisfaction and expectations; 2) to explore the relationship between parenting stress and parental satisfaction and expectations; 3) to examine the relationship of these dimensions with parents’ and children’s sociodemographic variables, and with family context variables. Sixty-eight mothers (G1) and 60 fathers (G2) of school-aged children (6-12 years of age) participated in the study. The Portuguese version of the Parenting Stress Index – Short Form, the Questionário de Satisfação e Expectativas Parentais (The Parental Satisfaction and Expectations Questionnaire) and a Sociodemographic and Developmental Questionnaire were used, the latter to obtain specific information. The groups did not differentiate significantly in parenting satisfaction and expectations, however, in the case of parenting stress, mothers tended to obtain a higher result in the Parent Distress subscale. In both groups, higher levels of parenting stress were associated with lower levels of parental satisfaction and less positive expectations. It was also observed that while parental satisfaction and expectations tended not to be associate with the variables under study (in both groups), parenting stress was related both to specific sociodemographic variables of parents (G1 and G2) and the child (G2), and to family context variables (G1). This study has contributed to furthering knowledge on the relationship between parenting stress and parental satisfaction and expectations, which has been undervalued from an empirical point of view in nonclinical samples.
