In conclusion, as the result of the study conducted to determine the mother-father-child relationship in Covid-19 process, it was determined that there is no significant difference by age variable in fathers' PCRI total and sub-dimensions, there is a significant difference between the age of the mothers and the role sub-dimension, there was no significant difference between fathers' education levels and PCRI and its sub-dimensions, however, there is a significant difference in Discipline, Autonomy, Participation, and Role sub-dimensions according to the education level of mothers and there is a significant difference between mothers and fathers 'family income variable and fathers' satisfaction subscale. Also, no statistically significant difference was found in the variables of how many days the families were in quarantine during the quarantine process and the frequency of staying at home/going out.
