Intentional recovery communities, such as Clubhouses, exist as physical spaces for individuals living with Serious and Persistent Mental Illness. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was necessary for these facilities to rapidly convert to virtual platforms. The aim of this study was to assess the extent to which virtual Clubhouse communities impacted the well-being of their members during the initial weeks of pandemic-related closures. Two hundred and eighty nine Clubhouse members across 19 countries responded to weekly measures of Clubhouse engagement, contact with other members, and well-being. A repeated measures multivariate analysis of covariance indicated that members with high levels of Clubhouse engagement reported higher mental and physical health ratings over time than those with low levels of engagement. These findings support the virtual Clubhouse model and highlight the efficacy of Clubhouses' rapid adaptations to the pandemic.
诸如俱乐部会所之类的有意康复社区，是为患有严重和持续性精神疾病的个人提供的实体空间。由于新冠疫情，这些设施有必要迅速转换为虚拟平台。本研究的目的是评估在与疫情相关的关闭措施实施的最初几周内，虚拟俱乐部会所社区对其成员幸福感的影响程度。来自19个国家的289名俱乐部会所成员每周对俱乐部会所参与度、与其他成员的联系以及幸福感进行测评。重复测量多元协方差分析表明，随着时间的推移，俱乐部会所参与度高的成员在心理和身体健康评分上高于参与度低的成员。这些发现支持了虚拟俱乐部会所模式，并突出了俱乐部会所对疫情迅速适应的成效。
