The objective of this study was to evaluate the psychological impact of confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic, considering any protective factors, such as the practice of meditation or self-compassion, and their relationship with different lifestyles and circumstances of adults residing in Spain. A cross-sectional study was done using an anonymous online survey in which 412 participants filled out the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-2; the Impact of Events Scale; and the Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form, reporting severe symptomatology of posttraumatic stress and mild anxiety and depression. Quality of cohabitation and age were found to be key variables in the psychological impact of confinement. The impact of confinement was more negative for those who reported very poor cohabitation as opposed to very good ( (3, 405) = 30.75, ≤ 0.001, = 2.44, = 0.054) or for those under 35 years of age compared to those over 46 ( (2, 409) = 5.14, = 0.006, = 0.36). Practicing meditation was not revealed as a protective factor, but self-compassion was related to better cohabitation during confinement ( (3, 403) = 11.83, ≤ 0.001, = 1.05). These results could be relevant in designing psychological interventions to improve coping and mental health in other situations similar to confinement.
这项研究的目的是评估因 COVID-19 大流行而隔离对心理健康的影响，同时考虑到可能存在的保护因素，如冥想或自我同情的实践，以及它们与居住在西班牙的成年人不同生活方式和环境之间的关系。本研究采用横断面研究设计，通过匿名在线调查，共 412 名参与者完成了抑郁、焦虑和压力量表-2 版（Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-2）、事件影响量表（Impact of Events Scale）和自我同情量表-短版（Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form）的评估，报告了创伤后应激障碍严重症状和轻度焦虑及抑郁。研究发现，同居质量和年龄是隔离对心理健康影响的关键变量。与同居非常好的人相比，报告同居非常差的人（ (3, 405) = 30.75, ≤ 0.001, = 2.44, = 0.054）和年龄在 35 岁以下的人（ (2, 409) = 5.14, = 0.006, = 0.36）隔离的心理影响更为负面。虽然冥想实践并未被揭示为保护因素，但自我同情与隔离期间更好的同居有关（ (3, 403) = 11.83, ≤ 0.001, = 1.05）。这些结果可能有助于设计心理干预措施，以改善在其他类似隔离的情况下的应对和心理健康。
