| dc.description.abstract | The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic created various challenges for individuals and
families across the globe. Many countries went into a state of disaster and applied strict lockdown
regulations to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus. Although the sudden changes in livelihoods
impacted families globally, this research is limited to understanding how families connected and
resolved conflict during the pandemic. The current study therefore aimed at exploring how family
dynamics and resilience in South African families were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This
study was conducted qualitatively in the Western Cape, South Africa, with 31 participants. The
results indicated that families in the Western Cape had trouble adjusting to the imposed restrictions;
however, some of these families used the time they had together to adapt and find new ways of
building their relationships and strengthening their bonds. | en_US |
