“…This condition, on the one hand, can create a quality time and intimate interactions among family members, but on the other hand, it may lead to long-standing high conflicts, occasionally domestic violence, and divorce ( Lebow, 2020b ). In this condition, a home can be described as a place of warmth, love, and safety or as a place of intimidation, abuse, and fear ( Hitchings & Maclean, 2020 ). Other studies found a positive outlook on the COVID-19 pandemic regarding the necessity of focusing on and enjoying family relationships, especially taking advantage of the pandemic's gift of extended time together ( Evans et al, 2020 ; Holmberg et al, 2021 ).…”

Background: COVID-19 has changed family life, including employment status, financial security, the mental health of individual family members, children's education, family well-being, and family resilience. The aim of this study is to analyze the previous studies in relation to family well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A literature review was conducted on PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus for studies using a cross-sectional or quasi-experimental design published from their inception to October 15, 2020, using the keywords “COVID-19,” “pandemic,” “coronavirus,” “family,” “welfare,” “well-being,” and “resilience.” A manual search on Google Scholar was used to find relevant articles based on the eligibility criteria in this study. The presented conceptual framework is based on the family stress model to link the inherent pandemic hardships and the family well-being. Results: The results show that family income loss/economic difficulties, job loss, worsening mental health, and illness were reported in some families during the COVID-19 pandemic. Family life has been influenced since the early stage of the pandemic by the implementation of physical distancing, quarantine, and staying at home to curb the spread of coronavirus. During the pandemic, it is important to maintain family well-being by staying connected with communication, managing conflict, and making quality time within family. Conclusion: The government should take action to mitigate the social, economic, and health impacts of the pandemic on families, especially those who are vulnerable to losing household income. Promoting family resilience through shared beliefs and close relationships within families is needed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Als problematisch an einer rein medienvermittelten Interaktion wird zudem die Etablierung einer tragfähigen Arbeitsbeziehung [28] und der Aufbau neuer Beziehungen beschrieben, besonders bei Adressaten mit psychischen Problemen [29]. Dies hängt damit zusammen, dass Vertraulichkeit bei medienvermittelten Interakti-onen schwerer herzustellen ist, weil nicht ausgeschlossen werden kann, dass weitere Personen "mithören", von den notwendigen technischen und kompetenzbezogenen Anforderungen aufseiten der Fachkräfte und der Adressaten ganz zu schweigen [30]. Unter solchen Bedingungen steigt die Schwierigkeit, typischen sozialpädagogischen Herausforderungen angemessen zu begegnen und diese zu bewältigen.…”

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDie Corona-Pandemie sowie die Maßnahmen zu deren Eindämmung bestimmen seit über einem Jahr das soziale, kulturelle, wirtschaftliche und politische Leben der Menschen. Auch der organisierte Kinderschutz ist von diesen Maßnahmen betroffen. Die Kinderschutzarbeit der Jugendämter während des Lockdowns sowie die damit verbundenen Herausforderungen sind Gegenstand dieses Beitrags. Er basiert auf einer bundesweiten Befragung aller Jugendämter im Frühjahr 2020. Die Studienergebnisse zeigen, dass die Jugendämter auch während des Lockdowns Aufgaben des Kinderschutzes wahrgenommen haben, und zwar prioritär. Weiter verdeutlichen die Ergebnisse, dass die Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung der Pandemie strukturelle Herausforderungen der sozialarbeiterischen Kinderschutzarbeit verstärkt haben.

“…This lead to containment: quarantine, lockdowns, and curfews in turn creating conflicts, tensions, and violence manifesting upon contact with infected persons ( 1 , 15 , 16 ). Consequently, it leads to an overall breakdown of the individual, family, and society with enormous changes and unparalleled consequences-financial and medical ( 17 , 18 ). Moreover, there are economic, social, and community impacts ( 10 , 19 ) despite the assessments and investigations from the medical perspective and daily data release from the Ministry of Health.…”

BackgroundSaudi Arabia, a prominent Arabian country, has 35. 3 million persons living in 2.2 million square kilometers, undergone serious threats recently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the built-in infrastructure and disciplined lifestyle, the country could address this pandemic.AimsThis analysis of COVID-19 cases in Saudi Arabia attempts to assess the situation, explore its global percentage share, percentage of population affected, and local distribution from the beginning of infection until recently, tracing historical developments and changes.Data and MethodsThis analysis made use of data released by the Ministry of Health on a daily basis for a number of parameters. They are compiled on an excel sheet on a daily basis: the dataset has undergone rigorous analysis along with the trends and patterns; proportion to the world statistics and geographic distribution.ResultsCOVID-19 spread rapidly in the country with periodic variations, during June-August, 2020. But, recoveries accelerated in the period, thus bridging the gap of increasing infections. In comparison with the world statistics, the country proportions are lower, while the percentage of population affected is similar. It appears that the intensity varied across all 13 administrative areas.ConclusionCOVID-19 transmission since March 2020 is considered to be widespread, creating excess burden on the public health system, delineated into stages (early infection, rapid spread, declining, stabilizing, and second wave). Control measures are set, stage-wise, without impinging upon normal life but to ensure that the proportion of globally affected persons is lesser than the population share: credit goes to the Ministry of Health. Area-wise spread depends largely on population density and development infrastructure dimensions. Ultimately, the disciplined life in compliance with law and order paved the way for effective program implementation and epidemic control.
