BACKGROUND
The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the physical and mental health of people everywhere. The aim of the study is to understand how people living in 15 countries around the globe experience an unexpected crisis which threatens their health and that of loved ones, and how they make meaning of this disruption in their narratives.
METHODS
Data were collected through an anonymous online survey during May-September 2020, which was during or just after the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, depending on the country. The questionnaire included demographic and three open-ended questions as prompts for stories about experiences during the initial months of the pandemic. The text was analyzed through inductive thematic content analysis and quantified for full sample description, demographic and subsequently international comparisons.
RESULTS
The final qualitative dataset included stories from = 1685 respondents. The sample was 73.6% women and 26.4% men. The mean age of participants was 39.55 years (SD = 14.71). The identified four groups of overarching themes were: The presence and absence of others; Rediscovering oneself; The meaning of daily life; Rethinking societal and environmental values. We discuss the prevalence of each theme for the sample as a whole and differences by demographic groups. The most prevalent theme referred to disruptions in interpersonal contacts, made meaningful by the increased appreciation of the value of relationships, present in (45.6%) of stories. It was more prevalent in the stories of women compared to men (χ² = 24.88, = .001).
CONCLUSIONS
The paper provides a detailed overview of the methodology, the main themes identified inductively in the stories and differences according to select demographic variables. We identify several major ways of making meaning of the pandemic. The pandemic has impacted many aspects of people's lives which give it meaning, no matter where they live.
背景
全球新冠疫情对各地人们的身心健康产生了重大影响。本研究的目的是了解全球15个国家的人们如何经历这场威胁自身及亲人健康的意外危机，以及他们如何在叙述中赋予这种扰乱以意义。
方法
数据于2020年5月至9月期间通过匿名在线调查收集，这一时期在不同国家处于新冠疫情第一波期间或之后。问卷包括人口统计学信息以及三个开放式问题，作为撰写疫情最初几个月经历故事的提示。通过归纳主题内容分析法对文本进行分析，并进行量化以全面描述样本、人口统计学特征以及后续的国际比较。
结果
最终的定性数据集包含来自1685名受访者的故事。样本中女性占73.6%，男性占26.4%。参与者的平均年龄为39.55岁（标准差=14.71）。确定的四大总体主题组为：他人的存在与缺失；重新发现自我；日常生活的意义；重新思考社会和环境价值观。我们讨论了每个主题在整个样本中的普遍性以及不同人口统计学群体之间的差异。最普遍的主题是人际关系的中断，因对关系价值的更多珍视而具有意义，出现在45.6%的故事中。与男性相比，该主题在女性的故事中更为普遍（χ²=24.88，p=0.001）。
结论
本文详细概述了研究方法、故事中归纳出的主要主题以及根据选定人口统计学变量的差异。我们确定了几种理解疫情意义的主要方式。无论人们生活在哪里，疫情都影响了赋予其意义的人们生活的许多方面。
