Abstract

This study aims to explore whether psychological distress and a sense of community are associated to parenting sense of competence in accompanying their children while doing homework. Based on data from the 2018 Eastern Townships Population Health Survey, correlational analyses led to results indicating that parenting sense of competency is negatively associated with psychological distress while positively associated with sense of community belonging. These findings underline the relevance of encouraging social interactions within communities, particularly in populations facing various stressors.
