Families' Coping Strategies and Quality of Life Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract Date Presented 04/01/2022 Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has challenged almost every aspect of families’ daily lives, posing an acute threat to family quality of life. Coping strategies may make families less vulnerable to the pandemic’s negative impacts and stressors. This study’s results reflect families’ abilities to use internal coping strategies to adapt to stressful situations more successfully. OTs can help identify, expand, and develop the family’s coping strategies as a protective factor in times of crisis.
