Abstract

Although COVID-19 was experienced as a traumatic event with long-lasting effects, there is limited data on its traumatic impact in relation to factors that can promote or threaten young people's mental wellbeing. This study investigated the association between sensory-processing sensitivity (SPS), resilience, and life satisfaction with COVID-19 trauma-related stress and whether resilience mediates the relationship between SPS and COVID-19 traumatic stress in a young sample. A total of 441 individuals aged between 16 and 25 years (M_age = 19.26, SD = 1.65) participated in an online survey in the UK between November 2021 and April 2022. We found that SPS was positively correlated, and resilience was negatively correlated with COVID-19 trauma-related stress. Life satisfaction was not significantly related to COVID-19 trauma-related stress. A mediation analysis showed that the relationship between SPS and COVID-19 trauma-related stress was mediated by resilience. Our findings suggest that resilience can be a protective factor against the traumatic effect of COVID-19 in young people, but other factors should also be considered. Our study makes implications about the potential benefits of including resilience in interventions which target young people's mental wellbeing.

尽管 COVID-19 是一个具有长期影响的创伤事件，但有关其创伤影响与促进或威胁青少年心理健康的因素之间关系的数据却很有限。本研究调查了感官加工敏感性（SPS）、复原力和生活满意度与 COVID-19 创伤相关压力之间的关系，以及复原力是否在年轻样本中调解了感官加工敏感性与 COVID-19 创伤压力之间的关系。在 2021 年 11 月至 2022 年 4 月期间，共有 441 名年龄在 16 岁至 25 岁之间的人（Mage = 19.26，SD = 1.65）参加了在英国进行的在线调查。我们发现，SPS 与 COVID-19 创伤相关压力呈正相关，而复原力与 COVID-19 创伤相关压力呈负相关。生活满意度与 COVID-19 创伤相关压力无明显关系。中介分析表明，SPS 与 COVID-19 心理创伤相关压力之间的关系是由复原力中介的。我们的研究结果表明，抗逆力是抵御 COVID-19 对青少年创伤影响的保护性因素，但也应考虑其他因素。我们的研究表明，将抗逆力纳入针对青少年心理健康的干预措施可能会带来益处。

期刊介绍： Psychology, Health & Medicine is a multidisciplinary journal highlighting human factors in health. The journal provides a peer reviewed forum to report on issues of psychology and health in practice. This key publication reaches an international audience, highlighting the variation and similarities within different settings and exploring multiple health and illness issues from theoretical, practical and management perspectives. It provides a critical forum to examine the wide range of applied health and illness issues and how they incorporate psychological knowledge, understanding, theory and intervention. The journal reflects the growing recognition of psychosocial issues as they affect health planning, medical care, disease reaction, intervention, quality of life, adjustment adaptation and management. For many years theoretical research was very distant from applied understanding. The emerging movement in health psychology, changes in medical care provision and training, and consumer awareness of health issues all contribute to a growing need for applied research. This journal focuses on practical applications of theory, research and experience and provides a bridge between academic knowledge, illness experience, wellbeing and health care practice.
