ABSTRACT
Introduction: COVID-19 is unprecedented, especially for parents with children
aged 2-12 years old who are prone to infection due to their activities. The
psychological condition of parents will be affected as they are worried about
their children being infected with COVID-19.
Methods: This study aims to identify and analyse the psychological aspects of
parents who are caring for children during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Results: The results showed that as many as 236 parents (80.9%) showed an
emotional anxiety response. The social reaction to the COVID-19 situation was
more likely to be a positive response (73.8%) rather than a negative response.
Conclusion: The reactions that occur in parents who have pre-school and
school-aged children regarding the COVID-19 were anxiety and worry.
Reactions arise due to the information obtained being less verifiable, namely
social media.
