The COVID-19 pandemic's traumatizing effect on mothers in the USA Pandemic Coronavirus Disease COVID USA MentalHealth Stress JAMANetworkOpen
By Dr. Liji Thomas, MDDec 19 2022Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc. With the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, family behaviors underwent a rapid forced change as work-from-home became the new norm due to social distancing recommendations. As the primary caregiver for children in most families, mothers typically shoulder the bulk of the increased responsibility at home as children must be educated, amused, and cared for all day.
The current study, which appeared in the journal JAMA Network, looked at data from the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes Program, which examined hardships, coping mechanisms, and behaviors in mothers of children. This program included 69 cohorts of mothers and children from birth or early childhood, followed over time.
The second group, dubbed low-change mothers, were more likely to be poorer and/or from lower social strata, had more significant hardships, and had fewer coping mechanisms. Their mean lower income was below $30,000 in almost a fifth of these mothers, vs. 7% in the high-change cluster. In the low-change cluster, COVID-19 infection was associated with higher PTS. This cluster also showed a more significant change in PTS scores with changes in healthcare access, employment, or reduced earnings, though both groups showed an increase in PTS scores in these situations. Not having the same degree of contact with friends was associated with lower PTS in the low-change cluster.
