Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every element of adolescent life worldwide, including Indonesia. This study intended to examine how adolescents' loneliness and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic are affected by their family relationships and online friendships. This study collects data using an online questionnaire. The Mental Health Continuum-Short Form, the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3, the Brief Family Relationship Scale, and the Online Friendship Scale were used to collect the data. Two hundred ninety-two students aged 12-18 participated in data gathering in Jakarta, Indonesia, between March and April 2021. Descriptive, correlation and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analyses were conducted using SPSS 25.0 and LISREL 8.80. This research revealed that family relationships and online friendships had a negative effect on loneliness. Family relationships favorably impact adolescent mental health, but loneliness negatively impacts it. Furthermore, family relationships and online friendships indirectly affect adolescents' mental health through loneliness. These findings may implement in developing interventions to assist adolescent mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia.

COVID-19大流行期间青少年的心理健康:孤独、家庭和网络朋友重要吗?

2019冠状病毒病大流行影响了世界各地青少年生活的方方面面，包括印度尼西亚。本研究旨在研究2019冠状病毒病大流行期间青少年的孤独感和心理健康如何受到家庭关系和网络友谊的影响。这项研究通过在线问卷收集数据。采用心理健康连续简表、加州大学洛杉矶分校孤独量表第三版、简短家庭关系量表和在线友谊量表收集数据。2021年3月至4月期间，262名12-18岁的学生参加了在印度尼西亚雅加达的数据收集。采用SPSS 25.0和LISREL 8.80进行描述性、相关性和结构方程建模(SEM)分析。这项研究表明，家庭关系和网络友谊对孤独感有负面影响。家庭关系对青少年心理健康有积极影响，但孤独感对青少年心理健康有消极影响。此外，家庭关系和网络友谊通过孤独感间接影响青少年的心理健康。这些发现可用于制定干预措施，以协助印度尼西亚2019冠状病毒病大流行期间的青少年心理健康。
