Objectives: Aiming to understand the role of household variables on the percentage of physical activity (%PA) during the COVID-19 confinement, an anonymous online survey was launched to be completed by Portuguese families with children. Study Design: A Cross-sectional study design using an anonymous online survey that was launched to assess how Portuguese families with children under 13 years of age adjusted their daily routines to this situation. Methods: Separate ANOVAs were performed to investigate how factors, such as the number of children, age, sex, the housing characteristics, and the adults’ job situation, can affect the percentage of time for physical activity (%PA). Results: Findings, based on data from 2159 children, indicate that: I) Boys and girls did not differ in the %PA on any of the age groups; II) Children with an outdoor space and who had other children in the household were significantly more active (p<.001); III) Children from families with all adults working from home showed lower levels of %PA; IV) Being younger, having a big outdoor space, having other children in the household, and having at least one adult free from working from home, were significant positive predictors of children’s %PA, explaining 21% of the overall variance. Conclusion: Time allocated for PA during this period is reduced compared to what is usually reported on normal days. It is necessary to find strategies to increase children's PA, especially in families where both parents are working and have no outdoor space.

“…Bu durum evde çocuk bakımının getirdiği sorumluluklar ve stresler nedeniyle yatkınlığı olan bireylerde depresyon ve anksiyete problemlerine neden olabilmektedir (Ogbuanu et al, 2011). Öte yandan yasal izinleri kullandık-tan sonra çalışmaya başlaması gereken anneler bebekleri ile yeteri kadar vakit geçiremediklerine dair suçluluk duyguları, bir başka kişiden destek almanın ortaya çıkardığı kişiler arası sorunlar ve bebeklerine/küçük çocuklarına zaman ayır-mak için gayret sarf ederken iş performanslarının düşebil-mesi gibi olumsuz tecrübeler yaşayabilmekte, bununla iliş-kili olarak da işyerinde gündeme gelen sorunlarla boğuşmak zorunda kalabilmektedir (Alstveit et al, 2011;Shepherd-Banigan, Bell, Basu, Booth-LaForce, & Harris, 2016). Bebeğinden ayrılarak işyerine gitmek zorunda kalan annenin yaşadığı bu olumsuzluklar sebebi ile bebeği ile bağlanmasının da etkilenmesi mümkündür (Waldfogel, 2002).…”

ÖZAnne olmak kadınların üstlendiği rolleri ve bununla birlikte sorumluluklarını arttırmaktadır. Anneler, artan roller ve sorumluluklar nedeniyle zaman zaman zorlanmakta ve bu durumlar sebebi ile ruhsal bozukluklara neden olacak sıkıntılar yaşayabilmektedir. Çalışıyor olmak ya da olmamak bu durum üzerine etkisi olan başlıca faktörlerden birisidir. Annelik ve çalışma durumunun çocuklar üzerine olan etkileri literatürde oldukça sık yer almakta iken çalışma durumunun annenin ruhsal durumuna etkisi üzerine aynı oranda yayın bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada annelerdeki depresyon ve anksiyete düzeyleri ile çalışma durumları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma örneklemi 5 yaş altında çocuğu olan, 73 çalışmayan ve 70 çalışan anneden oluşmaktadır. Annelere çalışma durumlarına göre iki farklı sosyodemografik veri formundan biri, Edinburgh Doğum Sonrası Depresyon ölçeği (EDSDÖ), Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği (BAÖ), Pharis Özgüven Ölçeği (PÖÖ), Maternal Bağlanma Ölçeği (MBÖ) uygulanmıştır. EDSDÖ'ne göre depresyon kesme skoru ve çalışma durumu ile ilişkisinde istatiksel olarak anlamlı değer bulunmamakla birlikte, çalışan annelerde depresyon sayısal olarak daha az bulunmuştur. BAÖ'ne göre, orta ve yüksek anksiyeteye sahip olanların çalışmayan anneler arasında daha fazla sayıda olduğu gözlenmiştir. PÖÖ ve MBO ölçeği skorları her iki grupta da benzer bulunmuş-tur. Bu bulguları etkileyecek farklı faktörler mevcut olmakla birlikte çalışıyor olmanın annelerin ruh sağlığı üzerinde olumlu etkiye sahip olduğu yapılabilecek yorumlardan biridir. Bu bulgularla, annelerin desteklerinin artırılarak çalışmalarının teşvik edilmesi önerilebilir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Çalışan anne, anne ruh sağlığı, depresyon, anksiyete ABSTRACTThe roles and responsibilities of women increase after they become mothers. Because of the increase in their roles and responsibilities, the mothers can experience difficulties from time to time, and these can lead to mental disorders. One of the factors that have effect on this is working status of mothers. While there are many researches about the impact of the mothers' working status on children, the number of studies about the relationship between maternal work and maternal mental health status is relatively small. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the levels of depression, anxiety and working status of mothers. The study sample consisted of 73 non-working and 70 working mothers with children under 5 years of age. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Pharis Self-Confidence Scale, and Maternal Attachment Inventory and two different sociodemographic data forms according to working status were used. Despite the lack of statistical significance in relation to depression cut-off score and working status according to EPDS, depression was found to be numerically less frequent in working mothers. According to the BAI, those with moderate to high anxiety were observed to be more frequent among non-working mothers. PMS and MAI scale scores were found to be simil...
