Abstract

Staying at home during the pandemic COVID-19 should be an opportunity to improve the family's quality of life (QoL). Positively, gathering with family at home provides an opportunity to get to know family members in-depth, but also prone to causing various frictions due to the boundary between office work, housework, and family becoming invisible. This study aims to analyze the effect of work-family conflict, communication patterns, social support, and stress levels on the family quality of life before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The design of this study was a retrospective and cross-sectional study. The study was conducted on nuclear families with working mothers in Jabodetabek and involved 169 working mothers as respondents using voluntary sampling. This study used descriptive analysis, paired two-group analysis, and path analysis. As a result, work-family conflict, communication patterns, social support, stress levels, and quality of life increased during the pandemic. The results of the path analysis found that work-family conflict, communication patterns, and social support had a significant direct effect on family quality of life during a pandemic. The quality of life can be improved by increasing open communication patterns, more social support from husbands and extended families, and reducing work-family conflicts.

Abstract

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, economic pressures have forced families to make various adjustments to maintain their well-being. This study investigated economic coping strategies and the subjective well-being of families during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 1,125 families in Indonesia participated in an online survey using Google Forms and spoke through social media. The research shows that families experienced a decrease in income, which encouraged them to adopt various economic coping strategies. The coping strategy adopted was cutting expenses while increasing income, mainly by utilizing hobbies or skills. Income changes, education, poverty status, savings withdrawal, selling or pawn assets, asking for aid, and borrowing money significantly influenced subjective well-being. Differences in subjective well-being can be observed in economic status, education level, and changes in income. Changes in income and higher education positively affected subjective well-being. Poverty status also had a negative effect on subjective well-being negatively.
