Abstract

The high prevalence of the coronavirus has put the world in a dangerous position, and fear and anxiety have spread across the globe, leading to significant social and psychological damage around the world. The aim of this study was to qualitatively investigate the implications of communicational, biological and psychological connections of Corona virus on families. To achieve this goal, a qualitative approach and a descriptive phenomenological method were used. The statistical population of the study included the group with Covid-19 disease and the group with acceptable prevention of Covid-19 disease in Tehran. The sampling method was purposive. Thirteen patients (cured from the disease and non-sick) were selected as the sample. Data collection was done through semi-structured researcher-made interviews and data analysis was done by content analysis method. Klaizi seven-step method was used to analyze the data. The five main categories include intra-family relationships, negative feelings and emotions caused by illness, changes in the behavior of others (after social relationships), family disputes and lifestyle changes, and 24 subcategories and 100 free codes of research results. According to the results, it can be said that the design of psychological interventions to improve mental health during this epidemic should be done and also a community program of critical psychological intervention should be prepared and implemented to compensate for the devastating effects after Covid 19.
