To gain a deeper understanding of the use of online culture and its potential benefits to mental health and well-being, sociodemographic characteristics and self-reported data on usage, perceived mental health benefits and health status were collected in an online cross-sectional survey during COVID-19 restrictions in the UK in June-July 2020.
In total, 1056 people completed the survey. A high proportion of participants reported finding online culture helpful for mental health; all but one of the benefits were associated with regular use and some with age. Reported benefits were wide-ranging and interconnected. Those aged under 25 years were less likely to be regular users of online culture or to have increased their use during lockdown.
There may be benefits in targeting cultural resources for mental health to vulnerable groups such as young adults.
为了更深入地了解网络文化的使用情况及其对心理健康和幸福感的潜在益处,于2020年6月至7月英国实施新冠疫情限制措施期间,通过在线横断面调查收集了社会人口学特征以及关于使用情况、感知到的心理健康益处和健康状况的自我报告数据。
共有1056人完成了调查。很大一部分参与者表示发现网络文化对心理健康有帮助;除一项益处外,所有益处都与经常使用有关,有些还与年龄有关。报告的益处范围广泛且相互关联。25岁以下的人群成为网络文化经常使用者的可能性较小,或者在封锁期间增加使用量的可能性较小。
针对年轻人等弱势群体提供心理健康文化资源可能会有益处。
