Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic brought a disastrous threat to the mankind and shook the fundamental assumptions of life to the core. The study aimed to assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the family members of covid positive patients in the first wave of virus transmission in India and the common notion towards vaccination. A qualitative research design was used to obtain the lived experiences of family members during the hospitalisation of the patients. The most positive outcome was observed on the environment, adopting healthy habits, and strengthening of personal bonding among family members. The policymakers can harness concerted efforts with adequate plans and policies for aiding in strong psychological support for people to combat the after-effects of the deadly virus along with real-time patient management. Information, education, and communication can be used to eliminate misconceptions regarding vaccination. The study further recommends making some online education programmes for the family members to enable them to combat the subsequent waves and new strains of virus.
