旨在引入社交距离的疫情控制措施有助于减缓COVID-19疫情的传播。然而，它们对心理健康的影响可能是负面的，特别是对老年人。虽然现有的研究主要集中在第一次封锁期间的时间，但我们关注封锁后的几周，以衡量第一波大流行的中期后果。使用SHARE Corona调查的数据，我们包括来自25个欧洲国家和以色列的60岁及以上的退休受访者。将SHARE数据与牛津COVID-19政府应对跟踪系统的宏观数据相结合，使我们能够在国家层面纳入宏观指标，即每10万人的死亡人数和采取严格疫情控制措施的天数，以及个人特征。研究结果表明，这两个宏观指标对悲伤/抑郁情绪的增加都有影响，但个人因素对于解释首次封锁后孤独感的增加至关重要。模型与互动条款显示，所包括的宏观指标有负面的福祉后果，特别是对最古老的调查参与者。此外，研究结果显示，在第一波COVID-19疫情之后，尤其是那些独居的人，孤独感增加的风险更高。在线版本包含补充材料，可通过10.1007/s10433-021-00640-8获得。
Epidemic control measures that aim to introduce social distancing help to decelerate the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, their consequences in terms of mental well-being might be negative, especially for older adults. While existing studies mainly focus on the time during the first lockdown, we look at the weeks afterward in order to measure the medium-term consequences of the first wave of the pandemic. Using data from the SHARE Corona Survey, we include retired respondents aged 60 and above from 25 European countries plus Israel. Combining SHARE data with macro-data from the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker allows us to include macro-indicators at the country level, namely the number of deaths per 100,000 and the number of days with stringent epidemic control measures, in addition to individual characteristics. The findings show that both macro-indicators are influential for increased feelings of sadness/depression, but that individual factors are crucial for explaining increased feelings of loneliness in the time after the first lockdown. Models with interaction terms reveal that the included macro-indicators have negative well-being consequences, particularly for the oldest survey participants. Additionally, the results reveal that especially those living alone had a higher risk for increased loneliness in the time after the first COVID-19 wave.
