社会关系对于我们的健康和福祉至关重要。在高度不确定和痛苦的时期尤其如此，例如在 COVID-19 封锁期间。这一时期的特点是前所未有的身体距离（通常被称为社交距离）措施，导致人们的日常社交生活发生重大变化。考虑到这种破坏对人们福祉的潜在影响，确定与负面健康结果相关的因素至关重要，反之亦然，找出那些在逆境时期促进恢复力的因素至关重要。我们研究了封锁期间个人的社交联系水平与自我报告的压力、担忧和疲劳之间的关系。方法：调查数据来自奥地利公民代表性样本中的 981 人。数据收集是在因 COVID-19 大流行而进行的为期六周的全国封锁的最后一周进行的。最终样本由 902 名参与者组成。参与者被要求完成经过验证的调查问卷，以评估过去两周的社交联系水平以及感知压力、担忧（一般的和特定于 COVID-19 的）以及疲劳症状的测量。我们的结果表明，封锁期间更大的社会联系与较低水平的感知压力以及一般和针对 COVID-19 的担忧相关。此外，我们发现疲劳与社交联系之间存在负相关关系，这种关系分别由压力感、一般担忧和特定于 COVID-19 的担忧介导，这表明网络规模较小的个人在大流行期间感到非常痛苦，也可能会感到更加疲劳。我们的研究结果强调了社会关系在通过缓冲负面的身心健康结果来促进复原力方面发挥的重要作用，特别是在逆境时期。
Social connections are crucial for our health and well‐being. This is especially true during times of high uncertainty and distress, such as during the COVID‐19 lockdown. This period was characterized by unprecedented physical distancing (often communicated as social distancing) measures resulting in significant changes to people’s usual social lives. Given the potential effects of this disruption on people’s well‐being, it is crucial to identify factors which are associated with negative health outcomes, and conversely, those that promote resilience during times of adversity. We examined the relationship between individuals’ levels of social connectedness during lockdown and self‐reported stress, worry, and fatigue. Method: Survey data were collected from 981 individuals in a representative sample of Austrian citizens. Data collection occurred during the last week of a six‐week nationwide lockdown due to the COVID‐19 pandemic. The final sample consisted of 902 participants. Participants were asked to complete validated questionnaires to assess levels of social connectedness as well as measures of perceived stress, worry—both general and COVID‐19 specific—and symptoms of fatigue during the previous two weeks. Our results demonstrate that greater social connectedness during the lockdown period was associated with lower levels of perceived stress, as well as general and COVID‐19‐specific worries. Furthermore, we found a negative relationship between fatigue and social connectedness, which was mediated by feelings of stress, general worries, and COVID‐19‐specific worries—respectively, indicating that individuals with smaller network sizes, who were highly distressed during the pandemic, were also likely to report feeling more fatigued. Our findings highlight the important role that social connections play in promoting resilience by buffering against negative physical and mental health outcomes, particularly in times of adversity in times of adversity.
