Abstract:
The concept of resilience, the ability to withstand and rebound from crisis and adversity, has valuable potential for research, intervention, and prevention approaches to strengthen couples and families. One of the crises the present family faces is COVID-19, and the lockdown in this situation, resilience is something that the family requires to cope with such crises. The impact of COVID-19 on family resilience was studied in this research paper by assessing the families’ socioeconomic status and the family resilience shown by the families during the lockdown. The study participants were college students in the families of Peermade Taluk of the Idukki district. The results show a statistically significant increase in the target group’s family resilience level. The study helped to gather evidence related to the resilience exhibited by the family. Studying the variables of family resilience enables us to identify the level of impact of COVID-19 on the well-being of families. It also helped to understand the family relationships and dynamics during this period. This study will be helpful in the future as a reference for family social workers and researchers.
