Description
Summary:The COVID-19 pandemic has brought major changes on family relationship worldwide and the mandatory isolations made the development of home schooling and work a must. Objective: To explain marital conflict based on anxiety, parental stress, rough handling of children and the accompaniment of parents in their children’s school activities during confinement by COVID-19. Method: Descriptive, explanatory, mixed study, through questionnaire and interview. The Study was carried out in a sample of 899 Colombian and Aruban people. Results: the variable that weighted the most in women in Colombia was parental stress. In men it was anxiety which makes a greater contribution to marital conflict, followed by parental stress. In Aruba, the only variable that contributed significantly was parental stress. In both countries, a positive correlation with anxiety, parental stress and rough treatment. However, a negative correlation was found with the accompaniment of the children’s school activities. Conclusions: The pandemic increased marital conflicts, due to anxiety, parental stress, which sometimes generated rough handling of children and the spouse. La pandemia por COVID-19 trajo cambios en las relaciones entre los miembros de la familia a nivel mundial. El aislamiento obligatorio llevó al desarrollo de las actividades domésticas, escolares y laborales en casa. Objetivo: explicar el conflicto marital a partir de la ansiedad, el estrés parental, el trato rudo y el acompañamiento de los padres en las actividades escolares de los hijos durante el confinamiento por COVID-19. Método: estudio descriptivo, explicativo y mixto mediante cuestionario y entrevista. Participaron 899 mujeres y hombres colombianos y arubeños. Resultados: la variable que más pesó en las mujeres y en Colombia fue el estrés parental, seguido por la ansiedad. En los hombres, la ansiedad hace un mayor aporte al conflicto marital, seguido por el estrés parental. En Aruba, la única variable que aportó significativamente fue el estrés parental. En los dos países, se encontró una correlación positiva con la ansiedad, el estrés parental y el trato rudo, y, una correlación negativa con el acompañamiento. Conclusiones: la cuarentena incrementó los conflictos maritales por ansiedad y estrés parental que, en ocasiones, generaron trato rudo hacia los hijos y el cónyuge.
