The COVID-19 pandemic is contributing to increased fear and anxiety throughout society, which may affect life satisfaction. Health-related hardiness and sense of coherence (SOC) are personal resources that help people adapt to difficult circumstances. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between fear of COVID-19, SOC, health-related hardiness, and life satisfaction. A total of 907 Polish people (522 women and 385 men) participated in this study. The Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FOC-6), the Health-Related Hardiness Scale, the Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-29), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale were used. Correlation showed that fear of COVID-19 was negatively related to health-related hardiness, SOC, and life satisfaction. Health-related hardiness and SOC were positively related to life satisfaction. Both SOC and hardiness were mediators between fear of COVID-19 and life satisfaction during the current pandemic. SOC and health-related hardiness are personal resources that are important for dealing with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to our study, SOC and hardiness can mediate between fear of COVID-19 and life satisfaction. Presented cross-sectional results have to be verified in future longitudinal studies in order to strengthen the conclusions presented in this manuscript. This study verified the role of only two personal resources, so more research is needed on the role of other personal resources during COVID-19 pandemic.
新冠疫情致使全社会的恐惧和焦虑情绪加剧，这可能会影响生活满意度。与健康相关的心理韧性和心理一致感（SOC）是有助于人们适应艰难处境的个人资源。本研究旨在调查对新冠的恐惧、心理一致感、与健康相关的心理韧性和生活满意度之间的关系。共有907名波兰人（522名女性和385名男性）参与了本研究。使用了新冠恐惧量表（FOC - 6）、与健康相关的心理韧性量表、心理一致感量表（SOC - 29）和生活满意度量表。相关性分析表明，对新冠的恐惧与与健康相关的心理韧性、心理一致感和生活满意度呈负相关。与健康相关的心理韧性和心理一致感与生活满意度呈正相关。在当前疫情期间，心理一致感和心理韧性都是新冠恐惧与生活满意度之间的中介变量。心理一致感和与健康相关的心理韧性是应对新冠疫情影响的重要个人资源。根据我们的研究，心理一致感和心理韧性可以在对新冠的恐惧和生活满意度之间起到中介作用。目前呈现的横断面研究结果有待未来纵向研究加以验证，以强化本手稿中提出的结论。本研究仅验证了两种个人资源的作用，因此在新冠疫情期间，还需要对其他个人资源的作用进行更多研究。
