ABSTRACT

The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between fear of COVID-19, stress, sense of coherence, and life satisfaction during the coronavirus pandemic. Participants were 907 Polish people (522 women and 385 men). We used the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FOC-6), Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-29) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. The relationship between stress and life satisfaction was mediated by the sense of coherence, and the relationship between stress and sense of coherence was moderated by fear of COVID-19. The fear of COVID-19 acted as a buffer in the relationship between stress and sense of coherence weakening the impact of stress on the sense of coherence. This study is the first to verify the proposed model of moderated mediation during the COVID-19 pandemic and was undertaken in a very large sample. This manuscript highlights the important role of the fear of COVID-19 and sense of coherence in our well-being. An individual’s sense of coherence can affect their subjective well-being and help them to effectively manage stress and reduce anxiety.

摘要

本研究的目的是确定冠状病毒大流行期间对 COVID-19 的恐惧、压力、连贯感和生活满意度之间的关系。参与者是 907 名波兰人（522 名女性和 385 名男性）。我们使用了感知压力量表 (PSS-10)、恐惧 COVID-19 量表 (FOC-6)、连贯感量表 (SOC-29) 和生活满意度量表。压力和生活满意度之间的关系由连贯感调节，压力和连贯感之间的关系由对 COVID-19 的恐惧调节。对 COVID-19 的恐惧在压力和连贯感之间的关系中起到缓冲作用，削弱了压力对连贯感的影响。这项研究首次验证了在 COVID-19 大流行期间提出的适度调解模型，并在一个非常大的样本中进行。这份手稿强调了对 COVID-19 的恐惧和连贯感在我们的福祉中的重要作用。个人的连贯感会影响他们的主观幸福感，并帮助他们有效地管理压力和减少焦虑。
