Zusammenfassung

A causa de l’important paper familiar que exerceixen les àvies en la criança dels seus nets, en aquest treball s’estudia aquest rol menys conegut dels avis. Per a això s’ha entrevistat un grup de cent deu participants barons (amb una edat mitjana de 73,6 anys) i s’ha analitzat: a) el seu nivell de satisfacció en cinc tipus d’activitats del rol amb els seus nets, sols entre ells i amb els seus cònjuges, abans i durant el confinament per la covid-19; i b) la seva percepció general del rol d’avi. Les dades obtingudes es van analitzar amb proves descrip-tives i inferencials no paramètriques (U de Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, khi quadrat i correlacions). Els resultats van mostrar tres nivells de satisfacció segons el tipus d’activitat de rol compartida amb els nets: alta en les celebracions en família, mitjana en les lúdiques i de transmissió sociocul-tural, i baixa en les de tipus domèstic instrumental i acade-micointel·lectual. La seva edat, el seu estat civil, la seva salut, el seu nivell educatiu i el nombre i l’edat dels seus nets van aparèixer relacionades amb aquesta satisfacció. Sobre el rol d’avi, es van mostrar majoritàriament a favor del rol formal, i les variables estat civil, salut, nivell educatiu, edat i sexe dels seus nets van aparèixer relacionades amb aquest rol. El contacte físic durant la covid-19 va disminuir un 72,7 %. Es conclou que les activitats compartides pels avis barons amb els seus nets i l’opinió sobre aquest rol estan influïdes per les variables sociodemogràfiques d’ambdós. Es necessita fer més investigació per ampliar el seu coneixement
