Abstract

COVID-19's global impact on mental health has been profound. To better understand factors that mitigate effects of stress, particularly during quarantine periods, this study examined roles of basic psychological need satisfaction and relationship quality in mental well-being in the context of COVID-19-related stress. Conducted from March to May 2020, this online questionnaire research involved 805 individuals in romantic relationships (mean age = 37.88 ± 12.50 years; 70.19% female). Path analysis revealed that higher mental well-being was associated with satisfaction of basic psychological needs, positive relationship quality, and lower COVID-19-related stress. Higher autonomy satisfaction was linked to lower COVID-19-related stress, whereas increased relatedness satisfaction and better relationship quality predicted higher COVID-19-related stress. The findings implicate complex associations among basic psychological need satisfaction, relationship quality, and mental well-being. While better relationship experiences might even heighten perceived stress during a global crisis, they simultaneously function as protective factors for overall mental health.

新冠肺炎大流行期间基本心理需求满足和关系质量作为心理健康保护因素的探讨
COVID-19对全球心理健康的影响是深远的。为了更好地了解减轻压力影响的因素,特别是在隔离期间,本研究考察了在covid -19相关压力背景下,基本心理需求满足和关系质量在心理健康中的作用。这项在线问卷调查于2020年3月至5月进行,涉及805名处于恋爱关系中的个体(平均年龄= 37.88±12.50岁;70.19%的女性)。通径分析显示,较高的心理幸福感与基本心理需求的满足、积极的人际关系质量和较低的covid -19相关压力有关。更高的自主性满意度与更低的covid -19相关压力有关,而更高的关系满意度和更好的关系质量预示着更高的covid -19相关压力。研究结果暗示了基本心理需求满足、关系质量和心理健康之间的复杂联系。虽然在全球危机期间,更好的关系体验甚至可能会增加感知到的压力,但它们同时也是整体心理健康的保护因素。
