چکیده
Background: Although the recent pandemic›s impact on adults has been extensively studied, little research has been done on its impact on children, despite the harmful effects COVID-۱۹ has on them. We aim to understand the protective function of Indian joint families for the perceived life outcomes of children (۹-۱۲ years) in the early stages of the recent pandemic.Methods: Using a qualitative research design, ۲۵ full-time mothers from joint families with children (age range = ۹-۱۲ years) were chosen through convenience sampling. The data were collected through a semi-structured telephone interview and the transcriptions were analyzed using the thematic analysis method.Results: The qualitative study revealed six themes: perceived distress, the diversity of relationships, harmonious relationships, involvement in household activities, supportive roles of the elderly and collective values and practices. The uncertainty and fear enhanced the perceived distress of family members and concern for the children. The abundant supportive relational resources, involvement in household activities, warmth, optimism and cooperation of the elderly, as well as interdependence and religious practices, were the resources described to protect the children from the negative effects of the pandemic.Conclusion: Indian joint families hold collectivist values that may have enabled greater support, cooperation, caring, interdependence, discipline, cultural knowledge, and conflict resolution mechanisms. Integrity, emotional stability, and caring from the elderly may have significant protective powers. Research, practice and policy implications are discussed.کلیدواژه ها
