Description
Deborah Whitley and co-authors study emotional adjustment of grandparents raising grandchildren during COVID in 2023. Pandemic rules added strain to an already hard role. A national sample of one hundred forty five caregivers was surveyed. Ages ran from thirty to seventy nine. Scales measured distress, inner resources, and stress.
The full model explained near two thirds of the spread in adjustment trouble. Basic traits and COVID demands alone did not predict distress. Inner resources, such as support and faith based coping, did predict it. So did two forms of stress tied to the parent role and health. Support from others carried the effect of COVID demands into adjustment. The authors stress resources as a buffer for these caregivers.
