The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, a significant effect on individuals worldwide, and it is clear that minority communities including the Sikh community have been particularly affected by the virus. The current study assessed the impact of the pandemic in a sample of 44 British Sikhs across 11 virtual focus groups. Three main themes emerged including making meaningful connections, struggling to adjust and the organisation of gurdware (Sikh places of worship) in coping with the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings highlight that faith may promote collective action for collective healing especially during mass trauma, with specific insight into what this may entail for the Sikh community.
新冠疫情对全球个人都产生了重大影响，很明显，少数族裔群体包括锡克教社区受到了病毒的特别影响。本研究在 11 个虚拟焦点小组中对 44 名英国锡克教徒样本进行了评估，结果发现疫情产生了影响。研究出现了三个主要主题，包括建立有意义的联系、努力适应以及在应对新冠疫情时组织古尔瓦雷（锡克教礼拜场所）。研究结果表明，信仰可能会促进集体行动以实现集体疗愈，尤其是在大规模创伤期间，这为锡克教社区提供了具体的启示。
