The current coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has been reported to influence interoceptive sensibility. This study focused on adaptive and maladaptive aspects of interoceptive sensibility and examined how each aspect of interoceptive sensibility affects depression, anxiety, and somatization symptoms under the mild lockdown in Japan, which was not enforceable and a non-punitive lockdown. We used data from 10,672 participants who lived in prefectures where the emergency declaration was first applied in Japan. Interoceptive sensibility was measured by the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA). The findings show that Noticing, a subscale of the MAIA, significantly contributed to the worsening of psychological and somatic symptoms (all s < 0.001). Conversely, Not-Distracting, Not-Worrying, Self-Regulation, and Trusting significantly contributed to the decrease of these symptoms (all s < 0.05). The findings suggest that two aspects of interoceptive sensibility affected mental health in different ways during the mild lockdown. Mindfulness and mindfulness-based interventions would be effective in terms of enhancing adaptive aspects of interoceptive sensibility.
目前的 2019 年冠状病毒病大流行据报道会影响内脏感觉敏感性。本研究关注的是内脏感觉敏感性的适应性和不适应性方面,并研究了在日本轻度封锁下,每个内脏感觉敏感性方面如何影响抑郁、焦虑和躯体化症状,日本的封锁并不具有强制性,也非惩罚性。我们使用了来自日本首次实施紧急宣言的县的 10672 名参与者的数据。内脏感觉敏感性通过多维内脏意识评估量表(MAIA)进行测量。研究结果表明,MAIA 的一个分量表——注意,显著加剧了心理和躯体症状(所有 s < 0.001)。相反,分心、担忧、自我调节和信任显著有助于减轻这些症状(所有 s < 0.05)。研究结果表明,在轻度封锁期间,内脏感觉敏感性的两个方面以不同的方式影响心理健康。正念和基于正念的干预措施在增强适应性内脏感觉敏感性方面将是有效的。
