KiCo - Corona time and day care centers

With this study, we investigated how the newly emerged coronavirus disease COVID-19 influenced the working conditions and everyday work of educational professionals, and what new challenges this poses for this field of work. We asked monthly questions about the current work situation, feelings, stress experience and the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on these factors.
