面对 COVID-19 大流行，心理健康研究资助者和机构、服务提供者和学者的迅速反应使人们在了解心理健康后果方面取得了进展。尽管如此，仍然迫切需要了解 COVID-19 大流行对心理健康的短期和长期影响的真实程度，因此需要不断进行研究。尽管迄今为止心理健康研究人员动员起来应对这一流行病的速度值得赞扬，但人们对速度是否会损害我们的工作质量存在合理的担忧。随着疫情继续发展，我们必须花时间反思我们最初的研究应对措施，并共同考虑如何利用这一点来加强后续的 COVID-19 心理健康研究以及我们对未来危机的应对措施。在这里，我们作为英国心理健康研究界的成员提出自己的看法，讨论我们在应对 COVID-19 方面取得的持续进展和持续存在的挑战，我们希望这能够鼓励更广泛的研究界进行反思和讨论。我们的结论是：（1）我们的基础设施的分散性对资源的高效、有效和公平的部署提出了挑战，（2）在快速响应过程中，我们可能根据经验忽视了专家的作用，（3）稳健和开放的方法可能因快速响应而受到损害，以及（4）这种流行病可能会加剧我们劳动力中现有的不平等问题。
In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the swift response of mental health research funders and institutions, service providers, and academics enabled progress toward understanding the mental health consequences. Nevertheless, there remains an urgent need to understand the true extent of the short- and long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health, necessitating ongoing research. Although the speed with which mental health researchers have mobilized to respond to the pandemic so far is to be commended, there are valid concerns as to whether speed may have compromised the quality of our work. As the pandemic continues to evolve, we must take time to reflect on our initial research response and collectively consider how we can use this to strengthen ensuing COVID-19 mental health research and our response to future crises. Here, we offer our reflections as members of the UK mental health research community to discuss the continuing progress and persisting challenges of our COVID-19 response, which we hope can encourage reflection and discussion among the wider research community. We conclude that (1) Fragmentation in our infrastructure has challenged the efficient, effective and equitable deployment of resources, (2) In responding quickly, we may have overlooked the role of experts by experience, (3) Robust and open methods may have been compromised by speedy responses, and (4) This pandemic may exacerbate existing issues of inequality in our workforce.
