Background

Multiple studies have highlighted the negative impact of COVID-19 and its particular effects on vulnerable sub-populations. Complementing this work, here, we report on the social patterning of self-reported positive changes experienced during COVID-19 national lockdown in Scotland.

Methods

The CATALYST study collected data from 3342 adults in Scotland during weeks 9–12 of a national lockdown. Using a cross-sectional design, participants completed an online questionnaire providing data on key sociodemographic and health variables, and completed a measure of positive change. The positive change measure spanned diverse domains (e.g., more quality time with family, developing new hobbies, more physical activity, and better quality of sleep). We used univariate analysis and stepwise regression to examine the contribution of a range of sociodemographic factors (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity, educational attainment, and employment status) in explaining positive change.

Results

There were clear sociodemographic differences across positive change scores. Those reporting higher levels of positive change were female, from younger age groups, married or living with their partner, employed, and in better health.

Conclusion

Overall our results highlight the social patterning of positive changes during lockdown in Scotland. These findings begin to illuminate the complexity of the unanticipated effects of national lockdown and will be used to support future intervention development work sharing lessons learned from lockdown to increase positive health change amongst those who may benefit.

我们了解到COVID-19锁定期间经历的积极变化有哪些?变革的社会模式的证据

背景

多项研究强调了COVID-19的负面影响及其对脆弱亚群的特殊影响。作为这项工作的补充,在这里,我们报告了苏格兰COVID-19全国封锁期间自我报告的积极变化的社会模式。

方法

CATALYST研究收集了全国禁闭期9-12周内来自苏格兰3342名成年人的数据。参与者使用横断面设计完成了在线问卷,提供有关关键的社会人口统计学和健康变量的数据,并完成了对积极变化的衡量。积极的变化衡量指标涵盖了多个领域(例如,与家人在一起的时间更多,发展新的爱好,更多的体育锻炼和更好的睡眠质量)。我们使用单变量分析和逐步回归分析了一系列社会人口统计学因素(例如年龄,性别,种族,学历和就业状况)对解释积极变化的贡献。

结果

积极变化得分之间存在明显的社会人口统计学差异。报告积极改变水平较高的是女性,年龄较小,与已婚者或伴侣生活在一起,受雇且身体健康。

结论

总的来说,我们的结果突出了苏格兰锁定期间积极变化的社会格局。这些发现开始阐明国家封锁的意料之外的影响的复杂性,并将被用于支持未来的干预发展工作,分享从封锁中汲取的经验教训,以在可能受益的人群中增加积极的健康变化。
