Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic that has been taking place since the end of 2019 has brought many changes for many families. Families in the pandemic era are required to carry out all activities at home. This causes unclear boundaries between work and roles in the family which can increase distress in the family. This study aims to see how efforts to build family resilience in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. The method in this research is a systematic literature study. The literature study uses articles from the 2020 range published in PsycNet, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, and Google Scholar. The characteristics of the articles reviewed were English-language articles, the study participants were families, and focused on family resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 6 articles on family resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic met the inclusion criteria. The results show that journals discussing family resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic are still limited. However, from this review literature study, it can be seen that the resilience of parents in the family can affect the resilience of other family members (their children). Each family member has an important role in it to build resilience during a pandemic. Resilience in families during this pandemic can be built with several activities, for example, jointly carrying out physical activities and spiritual activities in the family. Resilience in the pandemic era plays an important role in the psychological well-being of families. More research into resilience in more specific families is needed now. In addition, further research can develop programs that function to increase family resilience in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic.
