(1) Background: A balanced life is related to good health in young people, one of the groups most affected by confinement and social distancing measures during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to explore the occupational balance of young adults during home confinement and its association with different sociodemographic factors. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed, and an online survey was disseminated to collect sociodemographic and occupational balance data, using the Occupational Balance Questionnaire (OBQ). The statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS statistical software package version 24.0. (3) Results: 965 young adults between 18 and 30 years old participated in the study. A predictive model showed that the main predictors of a lower occupational balance were a negative self-perception (β= 0.377; = <0.0001), student status (β = 0.521; = 0.001), not receiving enough information (β = 0.951; = 0.001) and long periods of quarantine (β = 0.036; = 0.007). (4) Conclusions: Considering people's occupational health and related factors could lessen many of the psychosocial consequences of isolation and contribute to the well-being of young people.
(1) 背景:对于年轻人来说,平衡的生活与健康息息相关,而他们是在 COVID-19 大流行期间受到隔离和社交距离措施影响最大的群体之一。本研究旨在探讨年轻人在家隔离期间的职业平衡状况及其与不同社会人口因素的关系。(2) 方法:设计了一项横断面研究,并通过在线调查收集社会人口学和职业平衡数据,使用职业平衡问卷(OBQ)。使用 SPSS 统计软件包版本 24.0 进行统计分析。(3) 结果:965 名年龄在 18 至 30 岁之间的年轻人参与了这项研究。预测模型显示,职业平衡较低的主要预测因素是自我认知较差(β=0.377; = <0.0001)、学生身份(β=0.521; = 0.001)、未收到足够信息(β=0.951; = 0.001)和隔离时间长(β=0.036; = 0.007)。(4) 结论:考虑到人们的职业健康和相关因素,可以减轻许多隔离带来的心理社会后果,促进年轻人的幸福感。
