The Effect of Family Resilience on the Quality of Life in Women with Toddlers during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Many studies on quality of life have been carried out on vulnerable groups such as people with certain diseases, health workers, the elderly, pregnant women, and children; and they show declining results. Women with children under five have the same high level of vulnerability, but studies on their quality of life are rarely carried out. This study aims to explain the effect of family resilience on the quality of life in women having toddlers during the implementation of level 4 community activity restrictions in Depok City, Indonesia. The study was conducted from November 2022 to January 2023 with a cross-sectional design in which 473 women with children under five were selected randomly. We conducted a reliability test of the questionnaire trial, and the Cronbach alpha results obtained a result of 0.947. The statistical techniques used Chi-square tests and odds ratios. The results of the Chi-Square test showed that there was a relationship between family resilience and quality of life in mothers with toddlers (P=0.000) and an OR of 4,291 with a 95% OR Confidence Interval of 2,921 – 6,304. It can be concluded that women having toddlers with high family resilience are at risk of 4.291 times having a better quality of life.
