: The Covid-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges, both economically and psychologically, to most families across the world. Yet, little study has been done on this topic in Indonesia, even after the second year of the pandemic. This study examines how the Covid-19 economic impact and parental stress are related to the family quality of life (FQOL) and how the relation is moderated by family resilience. : To this end, we employed previously tested measures to assess the level of parental stress, family resilience and FQOL. Especially for the latter, we modified the measure, developed by Beach Center on Disability, by including only four domains (i.e., family interaction, parenting, emotional well-being, and material well-being) to adjust to our research context. : Based on 169 participants, our confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) displays that all employed measures in the study are valid and reliable. Our regression analysis shows that there are significant direct relations of parental stress & family resilience with FQOL. However, we find that family resilience only positively moderates the relation between the Covid-19 economic impact and FQOL but not the relation between parental stress and FOQL; indicating that high family resilience can only buffer the effect of economic impact on FQOL. : This study presents a view on how the Covid-19 pandemic affects the way families live and hence, their quality of life. In addition, the findings suggest the importance of family relationship and support in times of crisis, not limited to the Covid-19 pandemic.
: 新冠疫情给全球大多数家庭带来了前所未有的经济和心理挑战。然而,即使在疫情爆发的第二年,印度尼西亚在这一主题上的研究也很少。本研究探讨了新冠疫情的经济影响和父母压力如何与家庭生活质量(FQOL)相关,以及家庭弹性如何调节这种关系。 : 为此,我们采用了先前经过测试的措施来评估父母压力、家庭弹性和 FQOL 的水平。特别是对于后者,我们修改了 Beach Center on Disability 开发的衡量标准,只包括四个领域(即家庭互动、育儿、情感幸福感和物质幸福感),以适应我们的研究背景。 : 基于 169 名参与者,我们的验证性因素分析(CFA)显示,研究中使用的所有措施都是有效和可靠的。我们的回归分析表明,父母压力和家庭弹性与 FQOL 之间存在显著的直接关系。然而,我们发现家庭弹性仅正向调节新冠疫情经济影响与 FQOL 之间的关系,而不是父母压力与 FOQL 之间的关系;这表明高家庭弹性只能缓冲经济影响对 FQOL 的影响。 : 本研究提供了一种观点,即新冠疫情如何影响家庭的生活方式,从而影响他们的生活质量。此外,研究结果表明,在危机时期,家庭关系和支持的重要性不仅限于新冠疫情。
