This study examined the interplay between engagement in social unrest, mental indicators, state-hope and demographic variables. In addition, mental indicators and state-hope were compared in line with levels of engagement in social unrest.
In a cross-sectional study, conducted from March 23 to April 10, 2023, 2031 Israelis were recruited via a survey company. Participants completed self-report questionnaires to assess engagement in social unrest, anxiety, social unrest related distress, state-hope and demographic variables.
Participants with higher engagement in social unrest, who opposed the law reform, were prone to higher levels of social unrest related distress, anxiety, and lower levels of state-hope compared to those not engaged in social unrest activities or those who supported the law reform.
Concerns regarding unmet mental health needs, during and following social unrest, regardless of the engagement level, should be actively addressed by mental health professionals and health policy makers.
本研究考察了参与社会动荡、心理指标、国家希望和人口统计学变量之间的相互作用。此外,还根据参与社会动荡的程度对心理指标和国家希望进行了比较。
在一项横断面研究中,于 2023 年 3 月 23 日至 4 月 10 日期间,通过一家调查公司招募了 2031 名以色列人。参与者完成了自我报告问卷,以评估参与社会动荡、焦虑、与社会动荡相关的痛苦、国家希望和人口统计学变量。
与没有参与社会动荡活动或支持法律改革的人相比,那些更积极参与社会动荡、反对法律改革的人更容易出现与社会动荡相关的痛苦、焦虑,以及国家希望水平较低的情况。
无论参与程度如何,心理健康专业人员和卫生政策制定者都应积极关注社会动荡期间和之后未得到满足的心理健康需求。
