We had a huge response to our editorial and call for submissions of health psychology research related to the coronavirus pandemic (Arden & Chilcot, 2020). A total of 177 brief reports and papers have been submitted to BJHP since that call in March 2020. It has been a mammoth task for our associate editors, reviewers, and production team at Wiley to manage these papers (alongside non‐COVID submissions) in a shortened time frame, and the editors, Prof Arden and Dr Chilcot, would like to extend our sincere thanks to all who contributed their time and energies to this endeavour at what was a difficult time for everyone. This issue of BJHP includes a special section entitled COVID‐19: Health Psychology Theory and Research which includes the papers and brief reports on this topic accepted for publication to date.

At the time of writing, the COVID‐19 pandemic has infected more than 34.5 million people worldwide and caused more than 1 million deaths (see https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/). Accumulating evidence from the UK suggests that around 10% of people with mild COVID‐19 experience long‐term health effects as do a proportion of people with severe COVID requiring hospitalization (Public Health England, 2020). The COVID‐19 pandemic also has indirect effects on health and well‐being due to the trauma and stress of coping with the disease (Cabarkapa, Nadjidai, Murgier, & Ng, 2020), bereavement (LeRoy, Robles, Kilpela, & Garcini, 2020), and the national and local measures employed to contain infection (e.g. self‐isolation, quarantine, physical distancing) (Brooks et al., 2020). The management of COVID‐19 also impacts negatively on the provision and uptake of other types of health care with associated impacts on morbidity and mortality (Maringe et al., 2020), and on a wide range of health behaviours including alcohol use, diet, physical activity, and sedentary behaviour (Arora & Grey, 2020). We expect the overall effects to be profound and long‐lasting.

As we outlined in our previous editorial (Arden & Chilcot, 2020) and has been highlighted by a number of authors (Bavel et al., 2020; Holmes et al., 2020; Michie & West, 2020; O'Connor et al., 2020), health psychology research and practice is well placed to make an extremely important contribution to both the immediate response to COVID‐19 and to longer‐term recovery and impact including:
  1. Behavioural prevention (physical distancing, wearing face coverings, hand hygiene, and limiting the number of social contacts).
  2. Identifying symptoms of COVID‐19, and engaging with and adhering to test, trace, and self‐isolate/quarantine interventions.
  3. Uptake of vaccination and uptake and/or adherence to other potential future treatments.
  4. Coping with the impacts of COVID‐19 on our lives (trauma and mental health difficulties, bereavement, isolation and loneliness, and longer‐term health impacts).
  5. Supporting healthy adaptations to the 'new normal' and its impact on our lives and behaviours (increased sedentary behaviour, alcohol use, poor diet, and related anxiety, depressed mood, relationship problems, and elevated stress.)

Early on in the pandemic, given that this was a new virus with many unknowns, there was a critical need to collectivize ideas and rapidly share health psychology knowledge. In the UK, health psychologists co‐ordinated to support a rapid COVID response in a number of ways including the formation of the Health Psychology Exchange and the British Psychological Society (BPS) Behavioural Science and Disease Prevention Taskforce.

健康心理学在应对COVID-19中的重要作用

我们对社论发表了巨大的反响,并呼吁提交有关冠状病毒大流行的健康心理学研究(Arden&Chilcot,2020年)。自2020年3月以来,总共已向BJHP提交了177份简短的报告和论文。对于我们的副理,审稿人和Wiley的制作团队来说,管理这些论文(以及非COVID提交)是一项艰巨的任务。在较短的时间范围内,编辑Arden教授和Chilcot博士谨向所有人致以诚挚的谢意,感谢他们付出了所有的时间和精力为这项工作付出了艰辛的时光。本期BJHP包括一个名为COVID‐19的特殊部分:健康心理学理论与研究 其中包括迄今已发表的有关该主题的论文和简要报告。

在撰写本文时,COVID-19大流行已在全球感染了超过3450万人,并造成了超过100万人死亡(请参阅https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/)。来自英国的越来越多的证据表明,约有10%的轻度COVID-19患者经历长期健康影响,而一部分重度COVID患者需要住院治疗(英格兰公共卫生,2020年)。由于应对疾病的创伤和压力(Cabarkapa,Nadjidai,Murgier和Ng,2020年),丧亲(LeRoy,Robles,Kilpela和&Garcini,2020年),以及用于控制感染的国家和地方措施(例如,自我隔离,隔离,身体疏远)(Brooks等,2020)。COVID-19的管理还会对其他类型的医疗保健的提供和使用产生负面影响,从而对发病率和死亡率产生影响(Maringe等人,2020年),并对包括饮酒,饮食,身体活动和久坐行为(Arora&Grey,2020)。我们希望总体影响是深远而持久的。

正如我们在之前的社论中所概述的(Arden&Chilcot,2020),并已被许多作者强调(Bavel等,2020 ; Holmes等,2020 ; Michie&West,2020 ; O'Connor等。 (2020年),健康心理学的研究和实践将为对COVID-19的立即响应以及对长期康复和影响做出极为重要的贡献,包括:
  1. 行为预防(身体疏远,戴面罩,手卫生和限制社交接触的数量)。
  2. 识别COVID-19的症状,并参与并坚持进行测试,跟踪以及自我隔离/隔离干预。
  3. 接受疫苗接种和/或坚持其他潜在的未来治疗方法。
  4. 应对COVID-19对我们生活的影响(创伤和心理健康困难,丧亲,孤独和孤独以及对健康的长期影响)。
  5. 支持对“新常态”的健康适应及其对我们的生活和行为的影响(久坐行为增加,饮酒,不良饮食,相关的焦虑,情绪低落,人际关系问题和压力增加)。

在大流行的早期,鉴于这是一种未知许多的新型病毒,因此迫切需要集体化观念并迅速分享健康心理学知识。在英国,健康心理学家以多种方式协调支持COVID快速反应,包括成立健康心理学交流会和英国心理学会(BPS)行为科学与疾病预防工作组。
