The COVID-19 outbreak imposed stress worldwide, as daily routine changed almost overnight, with no time to prepare. A pandemic like this may trigger a chain reaction starting out as surprise, continuing to uncertainty and ending up either in adaptation or in symptoms of fear, anxiety, and/or depression. Resilience on the other hand could lessen anxiety and prove to be a prophylactic coping mechanism against distress. This study explored peritraumatic distress, intolerance of uncertainty (IU), and resilient coping in a sample of 2717 adults who voluntarily and anonymously participated in an online survey conducted in April 2020, in Greece.Results indicated a moderate pandemic-related mental burden and medium resilient coping and designated IU as a significant positive predictor of peritraumatic distress; resilient coping proved to be a significant moderator that alters the strength of the association between IU and distress reactions.
新冠疫情在全球范围内造成了压力,日常生活几乎在一夜之间发生了变化,人们没有时间准备。像这样的大流行可能会引发一连串的反应,先是惊讶,接着是不确定,最后要么适应,要么出现恐惧、焦虑和/或抑郁的症状。另一方面,韧性可以减轻焦虑,并被证明是一种预防痛苦的应对机制。本研究在 2020 年 4 月在希腊进行的一项在线调查中,对 2717 名成年人进行了创伤前困扰、不确定性容忍度(IU)和韧性应对的研究。结果表明,与大流行相关的心理负担中等,韧性应对中等,将 IU 指定为创伤前困扰的重要预测因素;韧性应对被证明是一个重要的调节因素,改变了 IU 和困扰反应之间关联的强度。
