This study aimed to explore health risk perceptions, changes in health-related behaviors, and life experiences of mothers with school-age children during the early coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Data were collected between 16 July and 10 September 2020, by individual interviews and analyzed through qualitative content analysis. After the twelve participants' experiences were analyzed, four themes and ten sub-themes were derived. The four themes were: "Struggling to identify the substance of COVID-19," "Taking the initiative to protect the health of the family," "Frustrated by the brutal reality of no end in sight," and "Trying to adjust wisely to an inevitable new lifestyle." The findings suggest that while the world remains in an ongoing battle with COVID-19, national health institutions should prepare a health education system for specific infection prevention methods that can be practiced by individuals in daily life.
本研究旨在探讨学龄儿童母亲在冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行早期的健康风险认知、与健康相关行为的变化和生活经历。数据收集于 2020 年 7 月 16 日至 9 月 10 日，采用个人访谈，并通过定性内容分析进行分析。对十二名参与者的经历进行分析后，得出了四个主题和十个子主题。四个主题是：“努力识别 COVID-19 的实质”、“主动保护家庭健康”、“对遥遥无期的残酷现实感到沮丧”和“试图明智地调整不可避免的新生活方式”。研究结果表明，虽然世界仍在与 COVID-19 进行持续斗争，但国家卫生机构应准备一个健康教育系统，针对日常生活中个人可实施的特定感染预防方法。
