Abstract

BACKGROUND: Natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic can cause various physical, social, and psychological problems for families.

AIM: This study aims to determine the description of family psychosocial problems after the landslide disaster during the COVID-19 pandemic.

METHODS: A qualitative descriptive research approach is used to find out the description and problems in detail. Focus group discussions were conducted with eight respondents who were affected by landslides. Furthermore, data analysis was carried out descriptively by bringing up several themes.

RESULTS: We found four themes, namely, realizing there was something wrong with the physical, coping, and support system, sex being one of the primary needs, and the need to reduce psychosocial stress. From these four themes, one theme was found, namely, sex being one of the primary needs needed by the participants. We also found that all respondents were not afraid of the COVID-19 condition, but instead, they were more worried about their next house and place to live. This triggers psychosocial problems in the families of disaster victims.

CONCLUSION: Family psychosocial problems experienced by landslide victims are eating and drinking, and psychosocial issues are also felt. The cause turns out to be from the effects of loss or the environment. Therefore, nurses can carry out trauma healing interventions by considering the source of the problem from the family.
