Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the fear of being infected, losing relatives, and measures taken to prevent contamination (e.g., lockdowns, quarantining, spatial distancing, etc.) have all increased the risk of depression, anxiety and stress. In the present study, the relationship between psychological distress, meaning in life, and life satisfaction was explored among individuals who were infected and not infected with COVID-19 during the pandemic. The present study is the first to examine these variables simultaneously. The sample comprised 687 adult individuals over the age of 18 years (mean=30.51 years). Results indicated that adult individuals with high life satisfaction had lower levels of psychological distress, find life more meaningful, and seek meaning less. Psychological distress was positively related with the search for meaning in life and negatively related with the existence of meaning in life. Moreover, depressive symptoms and the existence of meaning in life were significant predictors of life satisfaction. Durante la pandemia de COVID-19, el miedo a infectarse, perder a familiares y las medidas tomadas para prevenir la contaminación (por ejemplo, cierres, cuarentenas, distanciamiento espacial, etc.) han aumentado el riesgo de depresión, ansiedad y estrés. En el presente estudio, se exploró la relación entre la angustia psicológica, el significado de la vida y la satisfacción con la vida entre personas infectadas y no infectadas con COVID-19 durante la pandemia. El presente estudio es el primero en examinar estas variables simultáneamente. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 687 adultos mayores de 18 años (media = 30,51 años). Los resultados indicaron que las personas adultas con una alta satisfacción con la vida tenían niveles más bajos de angustia psicológica, encontraban la vida más significativa y buscaban menos el significado. El malestar psicológico se relacionó positivamente con la búsqueda de sentido en la vida y negativamente con la existencia de sentido en la vida. Además, la depresión y la existencia de sentido en la vida fueron predictores significativos de la satisfacción con la vida.
新冠肺炎大流行中心理困扰、生活意义和生活满意度之间的关系
在新冠疫情期间,对感染的恐惧、失去亲属以及为防止污染而采取的措施(如上锁、隔离、空间距离等)都增加了抑郁、焦虑和压力的风险。在这项研究中,在大流行期间感染和未感染新型冠状病毒的个人中,探讨了心理痛苦、生活意义和生活满意度之间的关系。这项研究是第一项同时研究这些变量的研究。样本包括687名18岁以上的成年人(平均=30.51岁)。结果表明,生活满意度高的成年人心理痛苦程度较低,生活更有意义,追求的意义较小。心理痛苦与寻找生命意义呈正相关,与生命意义的存在呈负相关。此外,抑郁症状和生活中意义的存在是生活满意度的重要预测因素。在新冠疫情期间,对感染的恐惧、失去家人以及为防止污染而采取的措施(如关闭、隔离、空间隔离等)增加了抑郁、焦虑和压力的风险。在这项研究中,探讨了大流行期间感染和未感染新型冠状病毒的人的心理痛苦、生活意义和生活满意度之间的关系。这项研究是第一项同时研究这些变量的研究。样本由687名18岁以上的成年人(平均=30.51岁)组成。结果表明,生活满意度高的成年人心理痛苦程度较低,生活更有意义,对意义的追求较少。心理不适与对生活意义的追求呈正相关,与生活意义的存在呈负相关。此外,抑郁和生活中有意义的存在是生活满意度的重要预测因素。
