This research explored how crises such as the pandemic influence the family dynamic and the way that the parents and the children face new difficulties and challenges. The present study investigates children's and young people's emotional states, the dimensions of family resilience, and the types of coping strategies and parents' emotional states during the coronavirus pandemic. The final sample for the research was represented by 1,010 parents from Romania.
The present scientific research is a transversal study with the scope to understand the emotional difficulties that parents and children/ young people face and the coping strategies that they adopt in a crisis, such as the time of the coronavirus pandemic.
Parents with maladaptive coping strategies are more affected by the pandemic. Also, the results indicate that there is a significant correlation between parental coping strategies and the children's emotional states, and the adaptability level. Therefore, the high scores on the subscales which measure maladaptive coping indicate high scores of the levels of depression, anxiety, and stress of the parents. Family resilience, through the dimension of 'communication and problem-solving in the family' has a moderation role in the relationship between parental depression and the maladaptive coping strategy of rumination. Family resilience through 'maintaining a positive attitude' has a moderation role in the relationship between catastrophizing and the teenagers' level of adaptability.
The results of the study pointed out the role and place of family resilience within the family system and how a period of crisis can affect this system.
本研究探讨了诸如疫情等危机如何影响家庭动态以及父母和孩子面对新困难与挑战的方式。本研究调查了在新冠疫情期间儿童和青少年的情绪状态、家庭复原力的维度、应对策略的类型以及父母的情绪状态。该研究的最终样本由来自罗马尼亚的1010名父母组成。
本科学研究是一项横向研究，旨在了解父母和孩子/青少年所面临的情绪困难以及他们在危机（如新冠疫情期间）所采用的应对策略。
采用适应不良应对策略的父母受疫情影响更大。此外，结果表明父母的应对策略与孩子的情绪状态及适应水平之间存在显著相关性。因此，在衡量适应不良应对的子量表上得分高表明父母的抑郁、焦虑和压力水平得分高。家庭复原力通过“家庭中的沟通与问题解决”维度，在父母抑郁与反刍的适应不良应对策略之间的关系中起调节作用。家庭复原力通过“保持积极态度”，在灾难化思维与青少年适应水平之间的关系中起调节作用。
研究结果指出了家庭复原力在家庭系统中的作用和地位，以及一段危机时期如何影响这个系统。
