COVID-19 infection continues all over the world, causing serious physical and psychological impacts to patients. Patients with COVID-19 infection suffer from various negative emotional experiences such as anxiety, depression, mania, and alienation, which seriously affect their normal life and is detrimental to the prognosis. Our study is aimed to investigate the effect of psychological capital on alienation among patients with COVID-19 and the mediating role of social support in this relationship.
The data were collected in China by the convenient sampling. A sample of 259 COVID-19 patients completed the psychological capital, social support and social alienation scale and the structural equation model was adopted to verify the research hypotheses.
Psychological capital was significantly and negatively related to the COVID-19 patients' social alienation (p < .01). And social support partially mediated the correlation between psychological capital and patients' social alienation (p < .01).
Psychological capital is critical to predicting COVID-19 patients' social alienation. Social support plays an intermediary role and explains how psychological capital alleviates the sense of social alienation among patients with COVID-19 infection.
COVID-19 感染在全球范围内持续存在，对患者造成严重的身体和心理影响。COVID-19 感染患者会经历各种负面情绪体验，如焦虑、抑郁、躁狂和疏离，这严重影响了他们的正常生活，不利于预后。我们的研究旨在探讨心理资本对 COVID-19 患者疏离感的影响，以及社会支持在这种关系中的中介作用。
通过便利抽样在中国收集数据。对 259 名 COVID-19 患者完成心理资本、社会支持和社会疏离量表，采用结构方程模型验证研究假设。
心理资本与 COVID-19 患者的社会疏离感呈显著负相关（p<0.01）。社会支持部分中介了心理资本与患者社会疏离感之间的关系（p<0.01）。
心理资本对预测 COVID-19 患者的社会疏离感至关重要。社会支持起到了中介作用，并解释了心理资本如何减轻 COVID-19 感染患者的社会疏离感。
