Conversations among parents and children about the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) and how to prevent the transmission can reduce anxiety and a fear of children about the situation around them. Family communication refers to the verbal and non-verbal word that is happened between family members. Communication involves the ability to pay attention to others about what they think and feel. Communication does not only involve verbal words, but also listens to each other. The purpose of this article was to find out how parent-child communication during the Covid-19 pandemic. The method of this article used literature studies from books, scientific journals, and the internet websites. The results showed that healthy families communicated effectively well, while families with unhealthy relationships had poor communication. The effective communication in the family can be improved by family members through the quality of their relationships, namely frequent communication, communicating clearly and directly, being an active listener, communicating openly and honestly, thinking about people with whom to communicate, paying attention to non-verbal messages, communicating positively, and focus on family strengths. It is better if parents can increase their interaction with their children regarding Covid-19 messages during the pandemic, because it can make an impact on the relationship between parent-child.

Parents and children surveyed make some different associations among family communication variables. Results support the hypothesis that involvement is more salient than other aspects of family communication for children, and that age-related changes in communication perceptions may reflect differences in what is relevant or salient about family communication for children as they mature. This has many implications for the study of mass communication uses and effects.

ABSTRACTSupervise the government as the provider of public services to carry out their duties and authorities under applicable regulations. Large-Scale Social Restrictions are restrictions on certain activities in an area suspected of being infected with Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), which causes the quality of public services to be disrupted. The Ombudsman has the task of supervising the implementation of shared services organized by state or government officials and private or individual bodies assigned the task of providing services according to minimum service standards as a benchmark for service delivery and assessing the quality of services to the community. The research method used is normative juridical research with a conceptual approach (Statute Approach).The results of this study are large-scale social restriction policies through the Mayor of Tarakan Regulation Number 17 of 2020, restrictions on activities outside the house such as the implementation of learning at schools and/or other educational institutions, Work From Home (WFH), religious movements in houses of worship, activities in public places, social and cultural activities and Mandatory rapid tests for those using Sea and Air transportation modes, and providing social assistance to communities affected by COVID-19. Ombudsman's supervision of public services during the COVID-19 pandemic in Tarakan City, namely by conducting coordination and control and cooperation with state and private officials as well as community or individual organizations, opening an Online Complaint Post for COVID-19 Affected Persons.

AbstractThis study reports on the validity of the 15-item Portuguese version of the Systemic Clinical Outcome Routine Evaluation (SCORE-15; Vilaça, Silva, & Relvas, 2014), a brief and comprehensive measure of family functioning. Previous studies with SCORE-15 show that this version replicates the three-factor solution found for the original English version: Family strengths, Family communication and Family difficulties. In addition to reviewing previous studies, this article analyses the discriminant, convergent and predictive validity of the Portuguese SCORE-15. To do so, the SCORE-15 was administered to family members attending systemic family or couple’s therapy at the start of the first and fourth sessions and also to a group of non-clinical individuals. Overall, data are reported from 618 participants, including 136 from families attending systemic therapy and 482 community family members. Comparisons of community and clinical samples (discriminant validity) showed statistically significant differences for the total scale and subscales (p < .001), with the community participants presenting healthier family functioning than the clinical ones. Analyses using SCORE-15 and the Quality of Life – adult version, another family measure applied simultaneously (convergent validity), indicate that both scales are significantly (p < .01) and moderately (r = –.47) correlated. Mean score analysis of SCORE-15’s therapeutic sensitivity to change (predictive validity) showed that only the Family communication subscale was sensitive to statistically significant improvement (p < .05) from session 1 to session 4, whereas the SCORE-15’s reliability change index points to its ability to detect clinical improvements (RCI = 14%).

Abstract Background Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of rare genetic skin disorders that primarily manifest as blisters and erosions following mild mechanical trauma. Despite the crucial role of the parents of children with EB in managing the disease, studies focusing on the parent–child relationship remain a gap in the literature. To address this gap, the current quantitative study, involving 55 children with all types of EB and 48 parents, assessed the relationship between their quality of life and coping strategies. Quality of life was measured with the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory and TNO-AZL Questionnaire for Adult’s Health- related Quality of Life, and coping strategies were assessed with the Coping with a Disease Questionnaire. The majority of the analyses were descriptive and the results were interpreted qualitatively because of the small sample size. Results Overall, the quality of life of children with EB and that of their parents was somewhat lower compared with the quality of life of healthy children and adults. Children with EB who more frequently used emotional reactions and cognitive-palliative strategies to cope with the disease demonstrated lower levels of emotional and social functioning, while children who showed more acceptance and distancing showed higher levels of functioning on all domains. Parents who frequently demonstrated emotional reactions reported lower levels of social functioning and experienced more depressive emotions and anger. Parents who used more avoidance showed higher levels of positive emotions. Within parent–child dyads, acceptance, cognitive-palliative strategies and distancing were positively related. Children’s emotional and social functioning were negatively associated with their parents’ depressive emotions. Parents’ acceptance was linked to higher physical functioning in children, whereas children’s avoidance was linked to a lower level of anger in parents. Conclusion Children who are able to accept the disease or distance themselves from it appear to be better off in contrast to those who tend to engage in the cognitive-palliative strategies and expressing emotional reactions. Parents seem to be better off when they are able to use avoidance in contrast to those who tend to show emotional reactions. Further research is needed to substantiate these findings.

The article reviews foreign studies of intergenerational relationships. It analyzes grandchild-grandparent relations, as well as the figure of the grandparent and his/her understanding of his/her role in the system of relations with family members belonging to different generations. Putting a figure belonging to the older generation of the family in the spotlight made it possible to look for and find new factors that determine the nature and quality of the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren. The article also examines the specificity of interrelations between grandchildren and grandparents living in extended families or separately from their children and grandchildren.

Abstract Objective: The main purpose of this paper is to investigate sleep quality in the withdrawal of medical members dispatched to control the Corona Virus Disease 2019(COVID-19) outbreak in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. Methods: Forty-seven medical members (including twenty medical members treating mild COVID-19, seventeen medical members treating severe COVID-19 and ten logistics team members) completed questionnaire using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to evaluate the sleep quality of the medical members. Results: A total of forty-seven medical members participated in the sleep quality survey. The PSQI total scores are 5.6±4.3, 11.0±5.0 and 3.4±2.0 in treating mild COVID-19, treating severe COVID-19 and logistics team members, respectively. Medical members treating patients with severe COVID-19 had significantly higher PSQI total scores than those who facing up to the patients with mild COVID-19 and logistics team members. (P<0.005). The components of PSQI such as sleep duration and sleep medications were significantly higher in medical members treating patients with severe COVID-19 than those who facing up to the patients with mild COVID-19 and logistics team members (P<0.005). The components of PSQI such as sleep quality and daytime dysfunction were worse in medical members treating patients with severe COVID-19 than logistics team members (P<0.005).Conclusions: Findings indicate that medical members treating patients with severe COVID-19 had worse sleep quality than who facing up to the patients with mild COVID-19 and logistics team members.
