COVID-19 trauma-related stress in young people: do sensory-processing sensitivity, resilience, and life satisfaction play a role?
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 (Mage = 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.
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.
