The Role of Self-efficacy in Adapation Regarding Parental and Child Resilience - A Longitudinal Study on the Two Waves of Covid 19
Year: 2021
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The COVID-19 epidemic also affects families in terms of material, work and relationships, and daily habits.The past 9 months are a lot of time during the extraordinary and stressful period, and its effects will be felt in the long run.Increased anxiety (e.g., double incidence in Canada, [15]) may change basic habits and long-term effects cannot be predicted.Presumably, individual-and familylevel adaptation patterns, flexibility, or rigidity determine long-term changes.The study addresses the effects on family balance during COVID 19, such as perceived stress, health anxiety, and addresses psychological factors that support flexible adaptation during a pandemic period.For example, in the first wave, activity and movement showed a positive association with resilience [1,30] as an option for self-efficient behavior.Analysis of the first and second samples of our longitudinal study shows similar results where selfefficacy is a protective factor against the stress that occurs in a pandemic.Resilience is also a protective factor for both parents and children against the stress caused by the effects of the epidemic.Child welfare declined by the end of 2020.We recommend finding and practicing forms of self-effective behavior as a defense to reduce the stress and anxiety associated with a pandemic.
