The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the family environment due to
the difficulties that have been generated by job losses, deaths, increase rates of family and domestic
violence, poor mental health outcomes, and estrangement in personal relationships. “Family Connections” (FC) is an internationally renowned DBT-based program that supports the families and
caregivers of people with borderline personality disorder. The study took place at a Specialized Health
Centre in Spain. A focus group with seven participants was organized for people who had previously
attended an FC group. The participants were asked about their experiences during the confinement
periods that was caused by COVID-19 as well as their experiences and opinions on relatives, skills
practiced, their need to and the advantages of attending the group, and satisfaction with the FC group.
The qualitative research web program Dedoose was used for the thematic analysis of the data. The
results showed that the participants experienced various experiences during confinement; validation
and radical acceptance were determined to be the most useful skills; the importance of professionals
and the content as well as the sincerity of attendees and having a safe space were determined to be the
greatest benefits of the programs; and the participants all indicated great satisfaction of the program.
This study allowed us to explore the experiences of family members of people with BPD with their
loved ones during the confinement period caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We evaluated the
use of the FC program skills in the family environment during confinement, and we analyzed the
acceptability and satisfaction with the FC program. [-]
