Outline of Final Research Achievements

During March 10 to 12, 2021, when the second emergency of COVID-19 was declared, an online survey was conducted targeting 2,000 parents nationwide who have children in 1st, 3rd and 6th grade of elementary school.
We analyzed the relationship between the parents' self-rated health and the interaction, trust relationship with the child, the control of game time about their children, and the child's breakfast intake. Moreover, we analyzed the relationship between the parents' self-rated health and gender, age, marital status, family structure, economic status, individual characteristics such as 〝I originally like to be alone" and 〝I prefer to stay at home rather than go out." We presented results at the 81st Annual General Meeting of the Japanese Society of Public Health and at the 32nd Annual Scientific Meeting of the Japan Epidemiological Association.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

COVID-19のによる緊急事態宣言下において、小学生の保護者の主観的健康感は子どもとの対話と信頼関係、子どものゲーム時間のコントロール、ゲームの時間、朝食の欠食に関連があることを明らかにした。さらに、保護者の特性として元来一人でいるのが好きな者に主観的健康感が良くない者が多かったことについても明らかにした。背景に、子どもの休校、配偶者の在宅勤務などにより家族で過ごす時間が長くなったことがあると考える。追跡調査により、緊急事態宣言やまん延防止等重点措置継続の影響について検討する必要がある。
