Objectives: Conducted during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario, Canada, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between (1) caregiver and child resilience; and (2) socioeconomic status (SES) and the resilience of both caregivers and children. Background: The COVID-19 pandemic introduced many unanticipated challenges for school-aged children and caregivers and navigating them required tremendous resilience. The degree to which the resilience of family members influenced one another or how it was related to economic hardships tied to the pandemic, particularly for members of low SES families, remains poorly understood. Methods: Online surveys were administered to 22 caregivers ( Mage = 40.45 years; SD = 4.55) and 27 children ( Mage = 8.19 years; SD = 1.14) to measure self-reported resilience and SES. Correlational analyses were conducted to assess both objectives. Results: Analyses detected no significant relationships between the resilience of caregivers and children, nor the resilience and SES of these groups. However, trends revealed that caregivers who reported “normal” levels of resilience had a higher average income than those who reported low levels of resilience. Conclusions: There is insufficient evidence to suggest a relationship between the resilience of caregivers and their children, but income levels may play a role in the resilience of caregivers. Implications: Targeting factors that help families with low SES navigate adversities, including those related to income, need to be identified and better understood to ensure a proactive and equitable public health response in future phases of the pandemic or similar situations.

COVID-19 大流行期间看护者和学龄儿童的复原力和社会经济状况

目标：本研究是在加拿大安大略省 COVID-19 大流行最严重时期进行的，目的是调查 (1) 照顾者和儿童复原力之间的关系；(2) 社会经济地位 (SES) 以及照顾者和儿童的复原力。背景：COVID-19 大流行给学龄儿童和看护者带来了许多意想不到的挑战，应对这些挑战需要巨大的韧性。家庭成员的复原力在多大程度上相互影响，或者它与疫情造成的经济困难有何关系，尤其是对于社会经济地位较低的家庭成员来说，人们仍然知之甚少。方法：对 22 名护理人员（M年龄= 40.45 年；SD = 4.55) 和 27 名儿童 ( M年龄= 8.19 年；SD = 1.14）来衡量自我报告的弹性和SES。进行相关分析来评估这两个目标。结果：分析发现看护者和儿童的复原力之间以及这些群体的复原力和社会经济地位之间没有显着关系。然而，趋势显示，自称具有“正常”复原力水平的护理人员的平均收入高于自称复原力水平较低的护理人员。结论：没有足够的证据表明看护者的复原力与其孩子之间存在关系，但收入水平可能在看护者的复原力中发挥作用。启示：需要确定并更好地理解帮助社会经济地位低的家庭度过逆境的目标因素，包括与收入相关的因素，以确保在大流行的未来阶段或类似情况下采取积极和公平的公共卫生应对措施。
