Area of Science:

  • Family Systems Theory
  • Public Health
  • Psychosocial Impact of Pandemics

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected family life, encompassing societal, community, and individual health impacts.
  • Existing family dynamics and pre-existing conditions can influence vulnerability to pandemic-related stressors.
  • Disparities in race and socioeconomic status exacerbate the pandemic's effects on families.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the multifaceted psychosocial challenges families face during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • To apply Rolland's Family Systems-Illness (FSI) model for a multisystemic understanding of pandemic impacts.
  • To highlight the evolving interplay between public health strategies and family well-being over time.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing Rolland's Family Systems-Illness (FSI) model as a theoretical framework.
  • Analyzing the psychosocial issues and coping mechanisms of families throughout different pandemic phases.
  • Examining the influence of societal, individual, and family-level factors on pandemic experiences.

Main Results:

  • The pandemic presents complex, evolving psychosocial challenges for families, influenced by public health responses.
  • Coping with COVID-19 uncertainties varies based on family development, pre-existing conditions, and socioeconomic factors.
  • Healthcare clinicians require self-care strategies to manage the demands of supporting families during the pandemic.

Conclusions:

  • A multisystemic approach, informed by family systems theory, is essential for addressing pandemic-related family challenges.
  • Tailored family-oriented consultation and psychoeducation are recommended to support families through evolving pandemic phases.
  • Prioritizing healthcare clinician self-care is vital for sustained support during public health crises.
