VESCOVI, Gabriela et al. Parenting, mental health, and Covid-19: a rapid systematic review. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.1, pp. 01-28. ISSN 1516-3687.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5935/1980-6906/ePTPC1913554.

ABSTRACT Parents face specific challenges during the pandemic and the period of social isolation since they need to cope with their children's demands besides their own. They are a key group to access and promote the wellbeing of children, especially in early development. This review systematically summarizes studies investigating the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic in parenting and parents' mental health. PRISMA guidelines were followed. We searched Google Scholar, PubMed, Scielo, Indexpsi, and PsycINFO databases. Ten articles met the criteria for the current literature review. The results showed significantly higher depressive and anxiety symptoms in parents/pregnant women than peers in a non-pandemic scenario. Parents and pregnant women's challenges were related to healthcare services during pregnancy, homeschooling, and loss of social support. This review provides relevant information to support tailored mental health interventions in response to Covid-19.
