Social support plays a key role in well-being, yet one of the major preventative efforts for reducing the spread of COVID-19 involves social distancing. During times of crisis, social support is emphasized as a coping mechanism. This requires many people to change their typical ways of connectedness and assumes that people have existing healthy relationships or access to technology. The purpose of this article was to explore the potential impact of COVID-19 on loneliness and well-being. Social support is an important consideration for understanding the impact of COVID-19 Psychological First Aid and Skills for Psychological Recovery, which are tools used to inform response methods to help people connect during isolation and are interventions that could be adapted to COVID-specific needs for what may be a prolonged isolation and postisolation. Given the many unknowns of COVID-19, studies are needed to understand the larger behavioral health impact to ensure resources are available, current, and evidence informed. Future studies are also needed to understand how access to technology may help buffer loneliness and isolation and thus improve the social outcomes of the current pandemic.

社会支持对幸福感起着关键作用,但预防 COVID-19 传播的主要措施之一就是社交隔离。在危机时期,社会支持被强调为一种应对机制。这需要许多人改变他们通常的联系方式,并假设人们拥有健康的现有关系或能够使用技术。本文的目的是探讨 COVID-19 对孤独和幸福感的潜在影响。社会支持是理解 COVID-19 心理急救和心理康复技能影响的重要考虑因素,这些工具用于告知应对方法,以帮助人们在隔离期间保持联系,并且是可以针对 COVID-19 的具体需求进行调整的干预措施,因为可能需要长时间的隔离和隔离后干预。鉴于 COVID-19 的许多未知因素,需要进行研究以了解更大的行为健康影响,以确保有可用的、最新的和基于证据的资源。还需要进一步研究如何获得技术支持,以帮助减轻孤独感和隔离感,从而改善当前大流行的社会结果。(PsycInfo 数据库记录(c)2020 APA,保留所有权利)。
