Abstract

This study aims to explore the relationship between the perception of home demands, demography and mental health of married women during the COVID-19 pandemic. The predictive role of perception of home demands, and demographics has also been assessed, in determining the mental health of married women during the pandemic. A sample of 250 married Pakistani women, between 20 to 55 years, with at least one child and minimum matric qualification, were included in the study. Participants were administered a self-constructed questionnaire. Regression analysis showed that quantitative home demands and husband’s employment status were significant negative predictors of anxiety and depression in women, whereas emotional home demands and mental home demands were significant positive predictors of depression, anxiety, and stress in married women. The results of this study help to highlight the work pressure women are facing during the pandemic and to support reform in balanced gender role expectations in society. This study also has implications for mental health practitioners, feminists, social workers, psychologists, and policymakers. Keywords: Perception of Home Demands, Mental Health, Married women, COVID-19.
COVID-19期间已婚妇女对家庭需求、人口和心理健康的看法
本研究旨在探讨COVID-19大流行期间已婚妇女家庭需求感知、人口统计学和心理健康之间的关系。在确定大流行期间已婚妇女的心理健康方面,还评估了家庭需求感知和人口统计数据的预测作用。该研究选取了250名已婚的巴基斯坦妇女,年龄在20岁到55岁之间,至少有一个孩子,并且有最低的婚姻资格。参与者被要求填写一份自编的问卷。回归分析显示,定量的家庭需求和丈夫的就业状况是女性焦虑和抑郁的显著负向预测因子,而情感的家庭需求和精神的家庭需求是已婚女性抑郁、焦虑和压力的显著正向预测因子。这项研究的结果有助于突出妇女在大流行病期间面临的工作压力,并支持对社会中平衡的性别角色期望进行改革。本研究对心理健康从业者、女权主义者、社会工作者、心理学家和政策制定者也有启示意义。关键词:家庭需求感知,心理健康,已婚女性,COVID-19
