“…The experience of disasters, according to literature, almost always impacts how parents deal with their children (Yumbul et al , 2017; McDermott and Cobham, 2012; Pfefferbaum et al , 2015; Felix et al , 2013; Masten, 2018). This was also observed in the case of families in Southville 7.…”

Purpose In the realm of disaster risk reduction (DRR) efforts and disaster resilience discipline globally, the impacts of disasters at the family level – especially in terms of interpersonal relationships – remain largely understudied. This paper aims to explore the impacts of postdisaster relocation on the internal dynamics of families in Southville 7 in Calauan, Laguna, Philippines during the aftermath of the 2009 typhoon Ketsana, and endeavors to inform institutional policies to strengthen families’ disaster resilience. Design/methodology/approach Purposive sampling was applied in choosing the 20 participating families for the case study of Site III, Southville 7 – a relocation site housing more than 3,000 displaced families from Metro Manila during typhoon Ketsana. Data gathering methods such as semistructured interviews and personal observations were used during fieldwork, the findings of which were coded to reveal the study’s analytical themes. Findings Research findings reveal that the impacts of postdisaster relocation to family dynamics could be classified into seven broad categories: family composition and structure; members’ roles; parenting; parents’ marital relationship; familial relationship; family member’s personalities; and death and disabilities. The interplay between these impacts results in either stronger overall family cohesion or further relational ruptures. Originality/value By spotlighting the impacts of disasters on overall family dynamics in the context of postdisaster relocation, this study seeks to elevate the place of the family in the DRR and disaster resilience discourse.

“…Another area highlighted in the literature is the effects parenting has in children’s post-disaster recovery and how, in turn, disasters likewise affect parenting styles (Felix et al , 2013; Hafstad et al , 2012; Yumbul et al , 2017). Masten (2018, p. 19) explains this focus on parent-child interactions in disaster and resilience-related studies, noting how “parenting serves so many functions in child development, cultural transmission, and the well-being of societies.”…”

“…The results of their study show that the psychological trauma brought about by the earthquake – and the subsequent relocation it caused – aggravated mothers’ ability to respond and cope to stress. This, then, led to adverse changes in their parenting methods, leading to “more yelling, beatings, and higher aggression towards their children, [and a] lack of positive emotional and physical engagement” (Yumbul et al , 2017, p. 1). These mothers further perceived these effects as likewise influencing their children’s attitudes towards them, noting how their children grew colder and less compliant since, and even mimicked their negative behaviors.…”

“…They further noted that parents who themselves were strongly impacted by the disaster were unable to provide maximum support to their children. Yumbul et al (2017) ethnographic research, on the other hand, focused on the effects of the 2011 Van earthquake to mother-child relationships among Turkish families. The results of their study show that the psychological trauma brought about by the earthquakeand the subsequent relocation it causedaggravated mothers' ability to respond and cope to stress.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to arrive at a conceptual roadmap that may be used to analyze the impacts of post-disaster relocation on a family’s dynamics and how this, in turn, affects their resilience to future disasters. Existing literature shows that the role of the family as a social unit is often overlooked in disaster research. Ultimately, this paper seeks to elevate the place of the family and its internal dynamics as a vital determinant of family resilience in a post-disaster relocation setting. Design/methodology/approach The study is a result of a systematic literature review of four interrelated topics, namely, families in disasters; post-disaster relocation; disaster resilience and family resilience. Findings The literature review resulted in an exploration of the experiences of families amidst post-disaster relocation. Such findings were linked towards potential impacts on family dynamics, which then resulted in the study’s proposed roadmap. Originality/value The study is a novel attempt at coming up with a conceptual framework that may guide future scholars in determining the effects of family dynamics on a family’s overall disaster resilience amid post-disaster relocation. It is hoped that the use of such a framework will guide policymakers in crafting institutional reforms that take into account family cohesion in disaster relocation efforts.

“…Regarding children, evidence from before the COVID-19 pandemic suggests that they tend to suffer worse outcomes as a result of disasters when their caregivers reveal higher signs of stress, depression and/or anxiety (Yumbul et al, 2018). Similarly, it is known that high levels of stress and burnout experienced by parents can result in neglect in childcare and parental abuse (Jiao et al, 2020).…”

Psychological impacts of COVID-19 on parenting and child behavior in Brazilian families: mediation effects of parental positive mental health

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study aimed to investigate the psychological impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on parental positive mental health, parenting and child’s behavior. Participants were 150 parents, mostly women (82.0 %), with a mean age of 38 years (SD = 5.4), mothers of children varying between 3 and 11 years of age (M = 6.1; SD = 2.5). Our path analysis model presented a good fit considering the indirect impacts of COVID-19 on parenting and child behaviors through the direct effect on parental mental health. The psychological impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic had a mediated effect through the parents’ mental health on the child’s behavior; however, it had no significant effect on parenting. Our results confirm some expectations reported by Brazilian and international researchers, who predicted impairments in the daily lives of families and the behavior of children during the period of social isolation.
