Abstract

The social restriction policy implemented by the Indonesian government to prevent the spread of COVID-19 affects the physical, psychological, and financial aspects of society, resulting in excessive anxiety. The skill of negotiating with anxiety was urgently needed. The purpose of this narrative study was to explore how a mother as a single parent negotiated and coped with the challenges in educating her children. Multiple semi-structured interviews were adopted to collect narrative data. Related to the safety assurance during the pandemic, Zoom media, WhatsApp video, and WhatsApp text became an option agreement with participants in the interviewed process. Thematic text analysis was used to examine participants' narratives related to their struggle in educating children during the COVID-19 pandemic. The interview results through Zoom were recorded and organized into a written data that was then searched for the interrelationship of each lexicon that composes the sentence as necessary information. After the data was read several times thoroughly, it was lexically coded, phrases and sentences using different color codes. Based on the thematic content analysis procedure, the encoded data was classified into several themes to review, link, and summarize data. After that, the data was interpreted interpretively and discursively. Based on thematic analysis, qualitative data showed that participants faced various challenges, including time and activity management skills, difficulty focusing on work, concerns about children's education and financial needs. We conclude that physical, mental, and spiritual strength played an essential role in determining how to think, managed, and faced the challenges of educating children during the COVID-19 pandemic.
