In all areas of knowledge, research has shown the devastating effects of COVID-19, and the impact on families' financial stress and well-being is one of them. Crises are predictors of families' financial stress as they produce changes in their income and negative feelings, such as fear and demotivation, which affect well-being. This study analyses the financial and social impact of COVID-19 on families, supported by the ABCE-WB model, with data collection being the result of snowball sampling. The results obtained allow the conclusion that the current pandemic crisis has caused financial stress in families, to a greater or lesser degree, and caused feelings of fear and demotivation as consequences of the general lockdown. The empirical evidence also shows that these effects are positively associated with the perception of their level of well-being. The contribution of the study lies in corroborating the model used. Final considerations are presented together with the limitations and suggestions for future research.
在所有知识领域，研究都表明了新冠疫情的破坏性影响，而对家庭经济压力和幸福的影响就是其中之一。危机是家庭经济压力的预测因素，因为它们会导致家庭收入变化以及恐惧和消极情绪等负面感受，进而影响幸福。本研究在ABCE - 世行模型的支持下，分析了新冠疫情对家庭的经济和社会影响，数据收集采用滚雪球抽样法。所得结果得出结论：当前的大流行危机在不同程度上给家庭造成了经济压力，并导致了因全面封锁而产生的恐惧和消极情绪。实证证据还表明，这些影响与对自身幸福水平的认知呈正相关。该研究的贡献在于证实了所使用的模型。最后给出了一些思考，以及研究的局限性和对未来研究的建议。
