Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic not only has an impact on health crises, but also threatens family resilience which results in high levels of anxiety, depression and mental health in the family. This study aims to conduct systematic literature on efforts to build family resilience and mental health in families during the COVID-19 pandemic. The literature study uses research articles from the 2020-2021 range published in Scopus, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, APA PsycNet and EBSCO. The characteristics of the articles reviewed were English-language articles, the study participants were families with children, focused on family resilience and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the 8 articles reviewed showed that symptoms of stress, anxiety and mental health were negatively related to family resilience. Changes in routine during a pandemic have a negative impact on the psychological health of parents and can pose significant risks to the well-being and resilience of their children. The results of the literature study want to show that research on family resilience is important because family resilience is currently very relevant, especially in conditions when facing the Covid-19 outbreak such as today, family resilience is something that all family members need to strive for optimally. Future research needs to dig deeper into the factors and intervention programs that function to increase family resilience and family mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
