Abstract

Background: The Russo-Ukrainian War has resulted in massive social, economic, and psychological burdens worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the associations between time spent on the war-related news and psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the mediating effects of rumination on the associations in people residing in Poland and Ukraine.
Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 1438 internet users in Poland and Ukraine, and collected data on levels of rumination, psychological distress, and the amount of time spent on and sources of the news of the Russo-Ukrainian War. Structural equation modeling with bootstrapping methods was used to evaluate the mediation effect. Multivariate linear regression was used to identify predictive effect of the source of the war-related news on psychological distress and rumination.
Results: The results showed a mediating effect of rumination on the association between the amount of time spent on the war-related news and psychological distress among participants in Poland (β = 0.16, p < 0.001) and Ukraine (β = 0.15, p < 0.001). Approaching the news from television was associated with rumination (β = 0.607, p < 0.001) and PTSD symptoms in Poland (β = 2.475, p = 0.009), while approaching news from the internet was associated with rumination in Poland (β = 0.616, p = 0.001).
Conclusion: The study identified the mediating effect of rumination and the associations of approaching the war-related news from television and the internet with mental health.

波兰和乌克兰人花在俄乌战争新闻上的时间和新闻来源与心理压力之间的关系：反刍的中介效应

背景：俄乌战争给全世界造成了巨大的社会、经济和心理负担。本研究旨在调查波兰和乌克兰居民花在战争相关新闻上的时间与抑郁、焦虑和创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）等心理困扰之间的关联，以及反刍对这种关联的中介作用：这项横断面研究在波兰和乌克兰招募了 1438 名网民，收集了有关反刍水平、心理困扰、俄乌战争新闻的时间花费和来源的数据。使用结构方程模型和引导法评估了中介效应。多元线性回归用于确定战争相关新闻来源对心理困扰和反刍的预测效应：结果表明，反刍对波兰（β = 0.16，p <0.001）和乌克兰（β = 0.15，p <0.001）受试者花在战争相关新闻上的时间与心理困扰之间的关联具有中介效应。在波兰，接触电视新闻与反刍（β = 0.607，p <0.001）和创伤后应激障碍症状（β = 2.475，p = 0.009）有关，而在波兰，接触互联网新闻与反刍（β = 0.616，p = 0.001）有关：该研究确定了反刍的中介效应以及从电视和互联网上获取战争相关新闻与心理健康之间的关联。
