Support for Families During COVID-19 in Spain: The iCygnus Online Tool for Parents
Abstract
El 14 de marzo de 2020 se impuso a los ciudadanos de España uno de los confinamientos más estrictos de Europa. La herramienta en línea para padres, iCygnus, fue diseñada para reducir el impacto psicológico generado por la pandemia en la población infantil (de 2 a 12 años) a través de recomendaciones automáticas a los padres basadas en respuestas individuales sobre sus estilos de crianza y las características de sus hijos. Los perfiles de las 710 familias indican una mayor prevalencia de problemas de comportamiento internalizantes y externalizantes en los niños, así como una relación entre la crianza punitiva en familias donde los padres perdieron sus trabajos debido a la enfermedad del coronavirus (COVID-19). Se evaluó la utilidad de la ayuda ofrecida por iCygnus a las 6 semanas, y casi el 80% de las familias indicó que utilizaba las recomendaciones y que les ayudaba en la relación con sus hijos.
