The objective of this study was to test the differences between the mean scores of victimization, an indicator of depression, stress, and anxiety (DASS), across seven countries (Australia, Chile, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Poland, and the Russian Federation) during the COVID-19 lockdowns. In addition, this study sought to analyze the mediator role of resilience in these relationships in the different countries. To this end, a structural equation model (SEM) was tested and differences across countries were considered through a multigroup analysis. Data for adolescent students from seven countries ( = 7241) collected by the Global Research Alliance showed that levels of anxiety, depression, and stress among adolescents were different in the countries assessed; all of them presented values above the mean of the indicator, with Chile and Russia having the highest values. Regarding the prevalence of exposure to violence, the mean across all countries studied was 34%, with the highest prevalence in Russia and India. At the global level, an adequate adjustment was observed in the SEM mediation model considering all countries. However, a mediator effect of resilience was only observed in the relationship between victimization and the indicator of DASS in Chile, Indonesia, and Russia. The results are discussed, analyzing the relevance of resilience as a protective factor for mental health during COVID-19 lockdowns.
本研究旨在检验在 COVID-19 封锁期间，七个国家（澳大利亚、智利、印度、印度尼西亚、墨西哥、波兰和俄罗斯联邦）的受害平均分数（作为抑郁、压力和焦虑的指标，DASS）之间的差异。此外，本研究还分析了在不同国家中，韧性在这些关系中的中介作用。为此，测试了结构方程模型（SEM），并通过多组分析考虑了国家之间的差异。全球研究联盟收集的来自七个国家的青少年学生数据（n=7241）表明，评估国家的青少年焦虑、抑郁和压力水平不同；所有国家的指标平均值都高于平均值，智利和俄罗斯的数值最高。关于暴力暴露的流行率，所有研究国家的平均值为 34%，俄罗斯和印度的流行率最高。在全球层面，考虑到所有国家，SEM 中介模型的调整是适当的。然而，在智利、印度尼西亚和俄罗斯，韧性仅在受害与 DASS 指标之间的关系中表现出中介作用。讨论了结果，分析了在 COVID-19 封锁期间，韧性作为心理健康保护因素的重要性。
