Abstract
ABSTRACT This study explored the roles of social support and resilience in understanding the impact of barriers to needed services as well as the impact of COVID-19 on kinship caregivers’ efforts to care for themselves. Based upon a sample of 135 kinship caregivers, analyses suggested that social support and resilience mediated barriers to service – self-care relationships as well as impact of COVID-19 – self-care relationships, subject to whether overall impact or physical/mental health-relational impact was considered. These findings help to understand why some kinship caregivers are more adept at meeting their own self-care needs than are others during COVID-19 and have implications for enhancing resilience and social support among kinship caregivers in the face of COVID-19.
