This study explores the status of pandemic fatigue, predictors, and their mechanisms of action based on a stress-response framework and a parallel model of future-oriented response.
Study 1 investigated 8426 Chinese adult residents' understanding of and willingness to cooperate with the pandemic prevention and control policies and Study 2 surveyed 1635 Chinese residents on their activeness of pandemic prevention and control (APPC), pandemic risk perception, perceived stress, and future-oriented coping.
Study 1 found that public understanding of and willingness to cooperate with prevention policies were significantly lower in 2022 than in 2020 and 2021. Study 2 found that risk perception negatively predicted the APPC; perceived stress and preventive coping significantly mediated the relationship between risk perception and APPC; but perceived stress and proactive coping did not significantly mediate the relationship between risk perception and APPC.
This revealed an increase in public fatigue in the third year of the pandemic. Pandemic fatigue can be predicted by pandemic risk perception, but the direct pathway of action is not significant and requires the mediation of perceived stress and preventive coping.
本研究基于应激反应框架和未来导向反应的平行模型，探讨大流行疲劳的现状、预测因素及其作用机制。
研究1调查了8426名中国成年居民对疫情防控政策的理解和配合意愿，研究2对1635名中国居民的疫情防控积极性、疫情风险认知、感知压力和未来导向应对进行了调查。
研究1发现，公众对防控政策的理解和配合意愿在2022年显著低于2020年和2021年。研究2发现，风险认知对疫情防控积极性有负向预测作用；感知压力和预防性应对显著中介了风险认知与疫情防控积极性之间的关系；但感知压力和积极应对并未显著中介风险认知与疫情防控积极性之间的关系。
这揭示了疫情第三年公众疲劳感增加。大流行疲劳可由疫情风险认知预测，但其直接作用途径不显著，需要感知压力和预防性应对的中介作用。
