Resumen
Ser padre o madre se asocia con resultados positivos. Sin embargo, aparte de tener un hijo, los predictores de dichos resultados apenas se estudian en la literatura. El presente estudio examina la asociación entre la autocompasión, el estrés parental y las recompensas parentales (p. ej., alegría, felicidad y satisfacción derivadas del rol parental) en padres de niños con y sin discapacidades de 0 a 6 años. Ciento sesenta y nueve padres (69,8 % mujeres; 26,03 % a cargo de un niño con discapacidad) completaron un cuestionario de autoinforme que evaluaba los niveles de autocompasión, estrés parental y recompensas parentales. Un modelo de trayectoria examinó el efecto de la autocompasión en las recompensas parentales, moderado por el estrés parental y controlando la edad y el género. Los resultados sugieren que niveles más altos de autocompasión se asocian con niveles más altos de recompensas parentales a través de niveles más bajos de estrés parental. Los análisis de invarianza sugieren que esta relación depende de si el niño tiene una discapacidad. Específicamente, solo se identificó una asociación directa entre la autocompasión y las recompensas parentales entre los padres que cuidan a niños sin discapacidad. Los resultados sugieren que mejorar la autocompasión en los padres puede reducir el estrés y, por lo tanto, estar vinculado a mayores niveles de alegría, felicidad y satisfacción en el desempeño de la crianza. Esto respalda la autocompasión como clave para la crianza y tiene implicaciones clínicas.
