Examination of Parent-Child Communication in Terms of Various Variables in The COVID-19 Lockdown Process: Sample of Turkey

Abstract

Objectives: This research was conducted to examine parent-child communication in the COVID-19 lockdown process in terms of various variables. Methods: The study was conducted as a descriptive, cross-sectional study before the COVID 19 vaccination program in Turkey between May 1 and June 1, 2020. The sample of the study consisted of 1151 parents with children between the ages of 0-18. The data were collected using “Introductory Information Form” and “The Parent-Child Communication Scale (PCCS)”. Results: It was determined that the PCCS average score of parents who go out every day (109.68±10.32) during the COVID-19 lockdown process was significantly lower than the average score of the parents who never (113.27±8.35) and very rare (113.44±8.80) go out. It was found that the communication level of the parents who spent more than 3 hours with their children was better and more than half of the parents stated that spent more than 3 hours with their child (p < 0.05). Conclusions: It was found that there was an increase in the time parents spent with their children during the COVID-19 lockdown process.

COVID-19 Karantina Sürecinde Ebeveyn-Çocuk İletişiminin Çeşitli Değişkenler Açısından İncelenmesi: Türkiye Örneği

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma COVID-19 karantina sürecindeki ebeveyn-çocuk iletişiminin çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelemesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma 1 Mayıs- 1 Haziran 2020 tarihleri arasında Türkiye'de COVID 19 aşılama programından önce tanımlayıcı, kesitsel bir çalışma olarak yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini 0-18 yaş arası çocuğu olan 1151 ebeveyn oluşturmuştur. Veriler "Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu" ve "Ebeveyn-Çocuk İletişim Ölçeği (PCCS)" kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular: COVID-19 karantina sürecinde her gün dışarı çıkan ebeveynlerin (109,68 ± 10,32) PCCS puan ortalaması, hiç (113,27 ± 8,35) ve çok nadir (113,44 ± 8,80) dışarı çıkmayan ebeveynlerin puan ortalamasından anlamlı derecede düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çocuklarıyla 3 saatten fazla zaman geçiren ebeveynlerin iletişim düzeyinin daha iyi olduğu ve ebeveynlerin yarısından fazlasının çocuklarıyla 3 saatten fazla zaman geçirdikleri saptanmıştır (p <.05). Sonuç: COVID-19 karantina sürecinde ebeveynlerin çocuklarıyla beraber geçirdiği zamanda bir artış olduğu tespit edildi.
