Abstract
The main aim of this study is to assess the extent to which the Covid-19 pandemic has affected individuals in Kuwaiti society in its various aspects, such as economic conditions, social relations, personal hygiene, and physical health, which are determined by demographic factors such as age, gender, marital status, and level of education. The study employed a descriptive approach and recruited 703 individuals who lived in Kuwait during the pandemic. The main tool used was an online questionnaire. This questionnaire consists of several sections, including an introduction, demographic information about respondents, and a scale of the impact of the pandemic on the lives of individuals. The results indicate that there are statistically significant differences in the impact of the pandemic on aspects of life among Kuwaiti society members based on their gender, age, marital status, and educational level. This study sheds light on the groups most negatively affected by the pandemic, as well as the groups least affected by the pandemic. As a result of the pandemic, it is crucial for social workers to intervene with these groups to provide the necessary assistance to help minimize the negative effects on their psychological and physical well-being.
