Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate in depth the daily life experiences of low income vulnerable/in-crisis families during the COVID-19 pandemic from an insider perspective.
Methods: Nine low income, vulnerable/in crisis adults from single parent, grandparent, both parents and parent with physically disabled family members were selected. In-depth interviews were performed followed by analysis using the Giorgi's phenomenological methods.
Results: The results of the analysis consisted of 8 components, 24 subcomponents, and 120 semantic units. The final components were “facing an unprecedented event”, “Imminent thorny pain in daily life”, “children and adolescents neglected under the pretext of survival”, “breakdown of boundaries within the family”, “breach in the social sense of solidarity”, “daily life on a ventilator”, “recovery of family values”, and “spreading the wings of hope after discovering self-love”.
Conclusion: The essence of the daily life experiences was scrutinized as a journey toward the discovery of self-love and positive hope. Based on the results, the baseline data for understanding the daily life experiences of low income vulnerable/in-crisis families has been presented with academic and practical discussions and suggestions.
