This interpretive research study explores U.S. adults' lived experiences during the beginning months of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Participants (= 44), recruited from a convenience sample of U.S. adults, engaged in in-depth semi-structured interviews or focus groups. Through an iterative analysis of participants' experiences and the theoretical model of communal coping (TMCC), the authors identified three convergent stressors (i.e., ) and several coping strategies related to participants' stressor appraisal (i.e., individual or joint) and action orientation (i.e., individual or joint). Based on these findings, this study offers the novel theoretical concept of and proposes a model for how this perspective might be integrated with current theorizing about individual and communal coping. Implications for communal coping and discursive theory are discussed as well as practical recommendations for public health messaging.
本解释性研究探讨了美国成年人在 COVID-19 全球大流行初期的生活经历。参与者（= 44 人）从美国成年人的便利样本中招募，参与了深入的半结构化访谈或焦点小组。通过对参与者经验和共同应对理论模型（TMCC）的迭代分析，作者确定了三个趋同的应激源（即 ）和几种与参与者的应激源评估（即个人或联合）和行动取向（即个人或联合）相关的应对策略。基于这些发现，本研究提出了一个新的理论概念 ，并提出了一个模型，说明如何将这一观点与当前关于个人和共同应对的理论相结合。还讨论了共同应对和话语理论的意义，以及公共卫生信息传递的实际建议。
