“…The COVID‐19 pandemic has had profound effects on families and the psychological well‐being of parents worldwide for more than 3 years (Banko‐Ferran et al, 2022; Cameron et al, 2020; Feinberg et al, 2022). The burden on parents has significantly increased as they tried to balance work, child care, and household chores (Marzilli et al, 2021; Neubauer et al, 2021).…”

ObjectiveThe current study focuses on the indirect link between mothers' COVID‐19 pandemic‐related experiences of home chaos, pandemic‐related anxiety, social support, and perceived maternal rejection through maternal psychological distress (MPD).BackgroundThe COVID‐19 pandemic had striking effects on families, and parents with school‐aged children were especially considered more at risk. Yet, the growing research documented negative and positive outcomes for the parent–child relationship.MethodIn this two‐wave study, data were collected before (January–February 2020) and during the pandemic (November–December 2020) from 318 Turkish mothers (Mage = 37.13, SD = 5.67) with predominantly low educational attainment and children in Grades 1 to 11 (Mage = 11.57, SD = 3.05). MPD and perceived maternal rejection were measured before and during the pandemic. Maternal pandemic‐related anxiety, mothers' perceived social support, and chaos in the home environment were measured only during the pandemic. Structural equation modeling was used for analysis.ResultsAfter pre‐pandemic MPD and perceived maternal rejection were controlled, MPD was positively associated with rejection during the pandemic. Pandemic‐related anxiety and home chaos, but not social support, predicted maternal rejection through MPD.ConclusionMothers' COVID‐19–related experiences were related to increased MPD, which also predicted increased maternal rejection as perceived by children.ImplicationsThe results should be considered in developing programs for mothers facing stressful circumstances. In particular, we recommend programs that promote equal role division in the family, which could support maternal well‐being, alleviate MPD, and improve the mother–child relationship.

“…In their extensive literature survey, Banko-Ferran et al (2023) synthesized the COVID-19 pandemic's effects on mental health. They first reviewed the impact of lockdowns (e.g., Altindag et al, 2022), school closures (e.g., Blanden et al, 2021), economic hardship (e.g., Kämpfen et al, 2020), remote work (e.g., Bertoni et al, 2021), and vaccine distribution (e.g., Perez-Arce et al, 2021).…”

The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been profound, leaving a significant imprint on physical health, the economy, and mental well-being. Researchers have undertaken empirical investigations across different countries, with a primary focus on understanding the association between lockdown measures—an essential public health intervention—and mental health. These studies aim to discern the causal effect of lockdowns on mental well-being. Three notable studies have adopted natural experiments to explore the causal effect of lockdowns on mental health in diverse countries. Despite variations in their research methodologies, these studies collectively support the conclusion that lockdowns have had detrimental consequences on mental health. Furthermore, they reveal that the intensity of these negative effects varies among distinct population groups. Certain segments of the population, such as women, have borne a more profound burden of the mental health costs associated with lockdown measures. In light of these findings, it becomes imperative to consider the implications for mental health when implementing public health interventions, especially during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. While rigorous measures like lockdowns are essential for safeguarding public health, striking a balance with robust mental health support policies becomes crucial to mitigating the adverse impacts on mental well-being.
