The COVID-19 pandemic poses an acute threat to the well-being of children and families due to challenges related to social disruption such as financial insecurity, caregiving burden, and confinement-related stress (e.g., crowding, changes to structure, and routine). The consequences of these difficulties are likely to be longstanding, in part because of the ways in which contextual risk permeates the structures and processes of family systems. The current article draws from pertinent literature across topic areas of acute crises and long-term, cumulative risk to illustrate the multitude of ways in which the well-being of children and families may be at risk during COVID-19. The presented conceptual framework is based on systemic models of human development and family functioning and links social disruption due to COVID-19 to child adjustment through a cascading process involving caregiver well-being and family processes (i.e., organization, communication, and beliefs). An illustration of the centrality of family processes in buffering against risk in the context of COVID-19, as well as promoting resilience through shared family beliefs and close relationships, is provided. Finally, clinical and research implications are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
由于与社会中断相关的挑战，如经济不安全、照顾负担和与禁闭相关的压力（例如，拥挤、结构和常规变化），COVID-19 大流行对儿童和家庭的福祉构成了急性威胁。这些困难的后果可能是长期的，部分原因是情境风险以多种方式渗透到家庭系统的结构和过程中。本文从与急性危机和长期累积风险相关的各个主题领域的相关文献中汲取了相关内容，说明了在 COVID-19 期间，儿童和家庭的福祉可能面临多种风险的方式。所提出的概念框架基于人类发展和家庭功能的系统模型，并通过涉及照顾者福祉和家庭过程（即组织、沟通和信仰）的级联过程，将 COVID-19 引起的社会中断与儿童适应联系起来。提供了一个例证，说明在 COVID-19 背景下，家庭过程在缓冲风险方面的核心作用，以及通过共同的家庭信仰和密切的关系促进适应力。最后，讨论了临床和研究意义。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
