The COVID-19 pandemic has caused some traumatic injuries to individuals due to the isolation, loneliness, and uncertainty it has created. Ruminative thoughts and uncertain situations are known to affect trauma. It aimed to evaluate the traumatic effect of the pandemic based on the ruminative thoughts and intolerance of uncertainty in the study. The sample for the descriptive and cross-sectional study consisted of 402 participants. Data were collected by using the questionnaire form, the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Scale (PTSD), the Ruminative Reactions Scale (RRS), and the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS). A positive correlation was discovered between the PTSD mean scores of the study participants and their RRS and IUS scores ( < .05). Furthermore, RRS ( = 0.280) was identified as a variable that primarily affected PTSD ( < .05). It was concluded that both ruminative thoughts and intolerance of uncertainty were predictors of post-traumatic stress disorder in the COVID-19 pandemic. Considering the possible effects of the pandemic, it is recommended to reduce the intolerance to uncertainty, to rework the ruminative thought content with appropriate and effective methods, and to create some programs for gaining problem-solving skills.
新冠疫情因其带来的隔离、孤独和不确定性给个体造成了一些创伤性伤害。反复思考的想法和不确定的情况已知会影响创伤。该研究旨在基于反复思考的想法和对不确定性的不耐受来评估疫情的创伤性影响。描述性横断面研究的样本包括402名参与者。通过使用问卷形式、创伤后应激障碍量表（PTSD）、反复思考反应量表（RRS）和不确定性不耐受量表（IUS）收集数据。研究参与者的PTSD平均得分与其RRS和IUS得分之间发现存在正相关（<0.05）。此外，RRS（=0.280）被确定为主要影响PTSD的一个变量（<0.05）。研究得出结论，在新冠疫情中，反复思考的想法和对不确定性的不耐受都是创伤后应激障碍的预测因素。考虑到疫情可能产生的影响，建议降低对不确定性的不耐受，用适当有效的方法重新梳理反复思考的想法内容，并创建一些培养解决问题技能的项目。
