Abstract:

Family resilience is defined as family members successfully coping with difficulties and developing with warmth, support and harmony. This structure can be affected by the forces, resources and processes of the individuals that make up the family. Current studies emphasize many risk factors that affect and force family dynamics with the introduction of the coronavirus pandemic into our lives. The results of these studies suggest that although the origin of worldwide anxiety is one, different families have different coping styles. Starting from this point, the aim of this study, which is planned, is to determine how families protect their health in the coronavirus pandemic, which is over one year. 580 married mothers participated in the study. Participants answered the demographic information form, Risk Factors Checklist and Family Resilience Scale. The findings obtained from the study are that family resilience shows significant differences between groups that entered the COVID-19 process with risk factors and groups that did not report any risk factors. This situation is considered as an indication that entering into a new obscurity with unresolved issues affects the dynamics more negatively.
