METHODS: A representative sample of the German population (N = 2,515, 51.6% women, 50.09 years), and a subsample of persons with children or adolescents under the age of 18 (N = 453, 60.3% women, 40.08 years) was assessed from July to October 2021. As huge differences in coping with the pandemic are seen, cluster analysis was performed.
RESULTS: Persons in the \"well-adjusted cluster\" were characterized by higher quality of life, better coping with the pandemic and lower burden of the pandemic. The family subsample well-adjusted cluster was characterized by lower pandemic-associated burden, lower parental stress compared to before the pandemic and a better relationship with the child. Fewer mental health symptoms and less pandemic-associated negative impact on career predicted membership of the well-adjusted cluster in both samples. An interaction between mental health symptoms and the negative impact of COVID-19 on the career was found.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results underscore the importance of mental health and work-related factors for coping with the pandemic.
方法:德国人口的代表性样本(N=2,515,51.6%的女性,50.09年),以及18岁以下儿童或青少年的子样本(N=453,60.3%女性,40.08年)从2021年7月至10月进行评估。随着人们在应对大流行方面的巨大差异,进行聚类分析。
结果:“调整良好的集群”中的人具有较高的生活质量,更好地应对大流行,减轻大流行的负担。家庭子样本调整良好的集群的特点是与大流行相关的负担较低,与大流行前相比,父母的压力更低,与孩子的关系也更好。在两个样本中,较少心理健康症状和与大流行相关的对职业的负面影响较少,可以预测到经过良好调整的集群的成员资格。研究发现,心理健康症状与COVID-19对职业生涯的负面影响之间存在相互作用。
结论:我们的结果强调了心理健康和工作相关因素对应对大流行的重要性。
