This Ontario-based study utilized modified grounded theory to consider the potential burden of chronic stressors on parents of young children during the COVID-19 crisis, as well as parental experiences of coping and resilience. Cross-sectional interviews at a single point in time do not reveal change and adaptation during an evolving pandemic; for this reason, this study conducted one interview at the end of the first wave of the pandemic in Ontario and a second interview a year and a half later. Twenty parents participated in two interviews, and findings are presented using Bonanno's (2004, 2005) mental health trajectory model following life disruption. The recovery trajectory details parental stressors and challenges that returned to baseline; the chronic stress trajectory notes parental experiences of unremitting stressors; and the resilience trajectory describes helpful behaviors, beliefs, and conditions that supported parental mental wellness across both interviews. Findings reveal that the resilience and recovery trajectories were dominant among this cohort, and descriptions of both problem-based and emotional-based coping through creativity and parental innovation are presented, as well as unforeseen positive impacts of the pandemic on families.

“我们正在尽最大努力原地踏步”：对 COVID-19 期间父母复原力的定性研究。

这项基于安大略省的研究利用修正的扎根理论来考虑在 COVID-19 危机期间慢性压力源对幼儿父母的潜在负担，以及父母的应对和恢复能力的经历。单一时间点的横断面访谈并不能揭示不断演变的大流行期间的变化和适应；为此，本研究在安大略省第一波疫情结束时进行了一次采访，并在一年半后进行了第二次采访。20 名家长参加了两次访谈，并使用 Bonanno (2004, 2005) 生活中断后的心理健康轨迹模型呈现了调查结果。恢复轨迹详细说明了回到基线的父母压力源和挑战；慢性压力轨迹记录了父母承受持续压力源的经历；复原力轨迹描述了在两次访谈中支持父母心理健康的有益行为、信念和条件。调查结果显示，复原力和恢复轨迹在这一群体中占主导地位，并描述了通过创造力和父母创新来基于问题和基于情感的应对方式，以及大流行对家庭的不可预见的积极影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
