Due to the economic recession, several people in Europe became unemployed. This situation may risk their mental health.
This study explored parents' perceptions about their unemployment's effects in daily life during the recession.
A total of 59 unemployed parents (40.7% fathers and 59.3% mothers), ageing 44.4 years (±6.2), answer a question on how the unemployment affected their family lives. Thematic analysis was used to analyse data.
The findings suggest that unemployment is a source of adult and youth mental distress and of economic hardship and changes in family relations.
Support to unemployed individuals and their families could benefit from these insights when granting the needed financial and socioemotional assistance.

共有 59 名失业父母(40.7%的父亲和 59.3%的母亲),年龄为 44.4 ± 6.2 岁,回答了一个关于失业如何影响他们家庭生活的问题。采用主题分析法对数据进行分析。
