This study examined relationships between family cohesion, social support/spiritual support, and quality of life and depression among faith-based community members during the 2020 COVID-19 restrictions. Drawing upon the buffering model of social support and family cohesion as theoretical frameworks, the authors examined these factors in a survey of 551 faith-based community members between March 2020 and June 2020. Family cohesion had a direct and indirect effect (mediated by overall social support and spiritual support on quality of life). Moreover, family cohesion only had a direct effect on depression (e.g., not mediated by overall social support or spiritual support). Greater family cohesion and overall social support were predictive of increased COVID-19-prevention behaviors, while spiritual support was predictive of reduced COVID-19-prevention behaviors.
本研究考察了在 2020 年 COVID-19 限制期间,基于信仰的社区成员的家庭凝聚力、社会支持/精神支持与生活质量和抑郁之间的关系。本研究以社会支持和家庭凝聚力的缓冲模型为理论框架,对 2020 年 3 月至 6 月期间的 551 名基于信仰的社区成员进行了调查,考察了这些因素。家庭凝聚力对生活质量有直接和间接的影响(通过整体社会支持和精神支持来中介)。此外,家庭凝聚力对抑郁只有直接影响(例如,不受整体社会支持或精神支持的中介)。更强的家庭凝聚力和整体社会支持预示着 COVID-19 预防行为的增加,而精神支持则预示着 COVID-19 预防行为的减少。
