目的：确定COVID-19大流行期间，因COVID-19和财务问题导致的工作不安全感是否与心理健康状况恶化有关。方法：参与者（N = 474名美国雇员）于2020年4月6日至12日完成了一项在线调查。线性回归用于检查与心理健康相关的因素。结果如下：在考虑了人口统计学特征、健康状况、其他COVID-19经历和焦虑症状后，COVID-19导致的更大的工作不安全感与更大的抑郁症状有关。相反，在考虑了协变量和抑郁症状后，更大的财务担忧与更大的焦虑症状有关。此外，更大的工作不安全感与更大的焦虑症状间接相关，因为更大的经济担忧。结论：研究结果表明，雇主应致力于减少COVID-19大流行期间员工的工作不安全感和财务担忧，以解决相关的心理健康后果。
Objective: To determine whether job insecurity due to COVID-19 and financial concern were associated with worse mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Participants (N = 474 employed U.S. individuals) completed an online survey from April 6 to 12, 2020. Linear regressions were used to examine factors associated with mental health. Results: After accounting for demographic characteristics, health status, other COVID-19 experiences, and anxiety symptoms, greater job insecurity due to COVID-19 was related to greater depressive symptoms. Conversely, after accounting for covariates and depressive symptoms, greater financial concern was related to greater anxiety symptoms. Further, greater job insecurity was indirectly related to greater anxiety symptoms due to greater financial concern. Conclusions: Findings suggest that employers should aim to reduce job insecurity and financial concern among employees during the COVID-19 pandemic to address the associated mental health consequences.
