简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the levels of parental stress 3 months after (T2) the strict physical distancing government initiated physical distancing protocols related to the COVID-19 pandemic (T1). The study also aims to investigate how predictors measured during the COVID-19 pandemic are associated with parental stress 3 months after when the majority of the protocols are lifted.
详细描述
Hypothesis/Research Questions H1: There will be a significant decrease in parental stress from T1 to T2. Exploratory: Investigate the difference in level of parental stress across different demographic subgroups.
H2: Higher level in angry at child, relationship quality and anxiety/depression and less reduction from T1 to T2 in angry at child and anxiety/depression will be associated with less reduction in parental stress from T1 to T2, above and beyond gender, age and number of children in household.
This study is part of a 'The Norwegian COVID-19, Mental Health and Adherence project".
Statistical analysis:
Repeated surveys like the present one typically have a lot of drop out and missing data. Therefore, we will use mixed models instead of paired t-tests, repeated measures ANOVAs, and ordinary linear regression to analyze the data. Mixed models use maximum likelihood estimation, which is the state of the art approach to handle missing data (Schafer & Graham, 2002). Especially if data are missing at random, which is likely in our survey, mixed models give more unbiased results than the other analytic methods (O'Connel et al., 2017).

结局指标
主要结局
Parental stress
时间窗: Data is set to be collected starting from 22th of June. The data collection period will last no longer than three weeks depending on the response to the questionnaire
The Danish Parental Stress Scale is developed as a short measure of parental stress consisting of nine items. Three items from this scale were chosen by a panel of clinical experts, with the aim of avoiding topological overlap: 1) I feel overwhelmed by the responsibility of being a parent, 2) The major source of stress in my life is my child(ren), and 3) It is difficult to balance different responsibilities because of my child(ren).
