Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el Inventario del modelo demandas-control-apoyo (Rosario-Hernández & Rovira, 2016) y la Escala de Competencia Parental Percibida (Vera-Vásquez, Zaragoza-Tafur & Musayón-Oblitas, 2014). Los resultados hallados evidencian correlaciones significativas y positivas entre la dimensión de apoyo con asunción del rol y ocio compartido (.27). De la misma forma, la dimensión de apoyo se relaciona positivamente con la implicación escolar (.28); al igual que la dimensión de control con asunción del rol y ocio compartido (.22). Se halló también, correlación positiva y moderada entre demandas laborales y horas trabajadas (.34). Se ha podido comparar los resultados con estudios anteriores que reafirman la idea que debido a la cantidad de compromisos laborales, la estadía de los padres en casa es más difícil. En conclusión, las personas que perciban estrés en su trabajo tendrán menor percepción de competencias parentales, ya que no encuentran un equilibrio entre las funciones de ambos roles.(au)

Work stress is related to the perception of parental skills in working parents, it is a cross-sectional, associative study with correlational predictive design (Ato, López & Benavente, 2013), 177 parents participated (55.7% women), who worked at least 30 hours per week and who have children between 3 and 12 years old. The instruments used were the Inventory of the demands-control-support model (Rosario-Hernández & Rovira, 2016) and the Perceived Parental Competence Scale (Vera-Vásquez, Zaragoza-Tafur & Musayón-Oblitas, 2014). The results found show significant and positive correlations between the dimension of support with assumption of the role and shared leisure (.27). In the same way, the support dimension is positively related to school involvement (.28); as well as the dimension of control with assumption of the role and shared leisure (.22). A positive and moderate correlation was also found between work demands and hours worked (.34). It has been possible to compare the results with previous studies that reaffirm the idea that due to the amount of work commitments, the parents' stay at home is more difficult.

Incidencia de competencias parentales en el desarrollo de habilidades sociales en hijos únicos / Incidence of parental competences in the development of social skills in kids from single children families

Resumen Múltiples investigaciones han demostrado que los estilos de crianza influyen en el desarrollo socioemocional durante la infancia, en la cual se considera a la familia como el primer ente socializador. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar la incidencia de las competencias parentales en el desarrollo de las habilidades sociales de hijos únicos, con edades entre tres y cinco años, teniendo en cuenta cuatro áreas: vinculares, formativas, protectoras y reflexivas. Con respecto a las habilidades sociales se analizaron seis actitudes comportamentales: habilidades sociales básicas; hacer amigos; conversacionales; sentimientos y emociones; capacidad de afrontar y resolver problemas, y la forma de relacionarse con los adultos. Es una investigación cuantitativa, realizada con un método correlacional donde la muestra correspondió a 36 niños y 61 padres de familia. Se utilizaron las siguientes pruebas: Escala de parentalidad positiva y Escala de habilidades sociales. Los hallazgos de esta investigación no coinciden con lo que teóricamente se podría esperar; resulta paradójico que los niños que tienen habilidades sociales medias posean padres con competencias parentales óptimas, mientras que niños con habilidades sociales altas, presentan padres de familia cuyas competencias parentales que se ubican en cualquiera de los tres rangos (en riesgo, en monitoreo y óptimas). Otro hallazgo se relaciona con los niños que presentaron habilidades sociales altas en las seis áreas; a su vez, sus padres registraron competencias parentales protectoras en zona de monitoreo, lo que conlleva a pensar, que existen otros factores diferentes de las competencias parentales que pueden incidir en el desarrollo de las habilidades sociales de los menores.

Abstract Multiple researches have shown that parenting styles influence socio-emotional development during childhood, in which the family is considered the first socializing entity. The objective of this research was to analyze the incidence of parental competencies in the development of the social skills of single children aged between three and five years, taking into account four areas: linkage, formative, protective and reflexive. Regarding social skills, six behavioral attitudes were analyzed: basic social skills; making new friends; conversational; feelings and emotions; ability to face and solve problems; and way of relating to adults. It is a quantitative research, correlational method where the sample corresponded to 36 children and 61 parents. Two tests were applied: Positive Parentally Scale and Social Skills Scale. Pearson Chi-square was used to analyze the information, using Statistica software. The Pearson Chi-square test is a non-parametric test, which aims to determine the existence or not of a significant relationship between two variables. The Parental Competence scale is a very simple questionnaire that applies to the parents or caregivers of a child or adolescent, whose objective is to determine the degree of development of parental competencies that adults use to establish a relationship with the child in care, either as a parent or as a caregiver. The scale groups these competences into four areas: Link, training, protection and reflection. This scale defines three zones to determine the level of competence of the parents: the risk zone, where the parents whose scores are below the reference sample are located; subsequently, the monitoring area is located, where the parents who present scores with percentiles between 30 and 40 are located according to the reference sample. Finally, the optimal zone is defined, where the parents with high scores are located. The social skills scale of Lacunza is a questionnaire that must be applied by parents or caregivers to children between 3 and 5 years old, which measure observable behaviors, which account for the child's social performance during the last three months. This questionnaire is based on other instruments that measure social skills, but makes an adaptation according to the developmental stages of development in preschool children, perfecting three questionnaires according to age: for 3 years the scale presents a composite questionnaire for 12 items; At the age of 4 years, the evaluation is carried out through the development of 12 questions, while for the age of 5 the questionnaire is made up of a total of 15 items. The findings of this research do not match what theoretically would be expected. It is paradoxical that children who have medium social skills have parents with optimal parental skills, while children with high social skills, have parents whose parental skills are located in any of the three ranges (at risk, monitoring and optimal). Another finding is related to children who presented high social skills in the six areas, in turn, their parents registered protective parental competencies in the monitoring area, which leads us to think that there are other factors that can affect in the development of the social skills of minors.

Competência educativa parental: estudo de propriedades psicométricas da escala com amostra brasileira / Parenting sense of competence: a study of the psychometric properties of the scale with a Brazilian sample / Competencia educativa parental: estudio de las propiedades psicométricas de la escala con una muestra brasileña

O Questionário de Autoavaliação da Competência Educativa Parental (QACEP) é um instrumento que tem por objetivo avaliar a percepção de competência dos pais em suas funções. No Brasil, sua utilização é escassa e o objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar as propriedades psicométricas do QACEP. Foi utilizada uma amostra de 151 mães e pais, a maioria com nível de escolaridade até o ensino médio e renda até dois salários mínimos. A análise fatorial confirmatória do modelo proposto com dois fatores - a percepção de eficácia e de satisfação - revelou bom ajustamento global aos dados recolhidos. Análises posteriores revelam que a satisfação parental aumenta com a idade dos pais, com o nível de escolaridade e salário auferido. Tendo em conta os diversos processos de validação conduzidos, recomenda-se o uso dessa versão do QACEP na investigação e prática clínica com pessoas de baixa renda no Brasil. (AU)

The Self-Assessment Questionnaire for Parental Educational Competency (PEC-SAQ) is an instrument that aims to evaluate the perception of parental competence in its functions. In Brazil, it is scarcely used and the objective of this research is to analyze the psychometric properties of PEC-SAQ. A sample of 151 mothers and fathers was used, the majority with education level up to high school and income up to two minimum wages. Confirmatory factor analysis of a proposed two-factor model (perception of efficacy and satisfaction) revealed a good overall adjustment to the data collected. Later analyses revealed that parental satisfaction increases with the parents' age, with the level of schooling and salary earned. Taking into account the different validation processes conducted, it is recommended to use this version of PEC-SAQ in research and clinical practice with low-income people in Brazil. (AU)

Estrés y competencia parental: un estudio con madres y padres trabajadores / Stress and parental competence: a study with working parents

El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar dimensiones relativas al contexto familiar y laboral, y examinar su contribución al nivel de estrés asociado a la paternidad. Se analizó el papel desempeñado por la percepción de competencia, tanto del padre como de la madre, una vez controladas algunas características de ambos contextos. Se realizaron análisis con la información obtenida de 74 progenitores que, en el momento de la evaluación, disponían de un puesto laboral y cuidaban al menos a un menor en edad escolar. Los resultados indicaron que la dedicaciónlaboral, el número de hijos y la percepción de dificultad en el cuidado del menor, fueron las variables más robustas para explicar el estrés parental. Asimismo, los análisis mostraron que una evaluación positiva y optimista del papel que la persona desempeña en la educación y el cuidado de sus hijos, tendió a atenuar la aparición de estrés parental.

The aim of this study is to explore the role of some dimensions related with labor and family context, and examine their influence to the stress level associated with parenthood. Special attention was given to the perceived competence as a parent after controlling different characteristics from both contexts. Several analyses were performed with the information obtained from 74 active-working parents responsible for at least one school-aged child. The results indicated that the work time, the number of children at home and the perception of difficulty about child caring were the most important variables for explaining the parental stress. Furthermore,analysis showed that a positive and optimistic perception of the parental role and child care helped to mitigate the appearance of parental stress.
