The existing literature has not adequately studied the influence of COVID-19 worry on mental health disorders. This study tested the mediating roles of resilience and meaning in life between COVID-19 worry and mental health disorders.
We recruited 284 Arabic speaking young adults (60.6% females; mean age = 26.25±7.57 years) to complete the COVID-19 Worry Scale, Brief Resilience Scale, Meaning in Life Measure, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9.
Results showed that COVID-19 worry negatively predicted resilience and meaning in life and positively predicted mental health disorders. Furthermore, indirect effect of COVID-19 worry on mental health disorders via resilience and meaning in life was significant.
These results will contribute to find effective measures to prevent mental health disorders and promote reduced mental health disorders from the perspective of mitigating COVID-19 worry and increasing resilience and meaning in life.
现有文献尚未充分研究 COVID-19 担忧对心理健康障碍的影响。本研究检验了韧性和生活意义在 COVID-19 担忧与心理健康障碍之间的中介作用。
我们招募了 284 名讲阿拉伯语的年轻成年人（60.6%为女性；平均年龄=26.25±7.57 岁），让他们完成 COVID-19 担忧量表、简要韧性量表、生活意义量表和患者健康问卷-9。
结果表明，COVID-19 担忧与韧性和生活意义呈负相关，与心理健康障碍呈正相关。此外，COVID-19 担忧通过韧性和生活意义对心理健康障碍的间接影响具有统计学意义。
这些结果将有助于找到预防心理健康障碍的有效措施，并从减轻 COVID-19 担忧和提高韧性和生活意义的角度促进减少心理健康障碍。
