Abstract

  The aim of our research group is to examine the protection of mental health during a pandemic. In our April 2020 study, we analyzed the association between stress, health anxiety and self-efficacy in terms of resilience. The study included 684 persons, arranged by parents and their children. Women are overrepresented in the sample. Based on the results, we can say that parental health anxiety and perceived stress reduce resilience. And self-efficacy is a protective factor for both parental and child resilience.
