The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the lives of individuals, families, and communities around the world with constraints on multiple aspects of daily life. The purpose of the present study was to identify specific profiles of pandemic-related experiences and their relation to psychosocial functioning using the 92-item Epidemic-Pandemic Impacts Inventory (EPII). Data were collected as part of a cross-sectional, online survey of adults (18+) residing in the Northeast region of the United States (N = 652) and recruited via online advertisements. Person-centered latent class analysis (LCA) was applied to 38 pandemic-related experiences that showed a significant bivariate correlation with perceived stress. Measures of psychosocial risk were also obtained. Results revealed five unique profiles of respondents based on patterns of pandemic-related experiences. Three profiles representing about 64% of the sample were characterized by moderate to high exposure to adverse experiences during the pandemic and were more likely to screen positive for depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress. These profiles were differentiated by sociodemographic differences, including age, caregiving, and employment status. Two profiles differentiated by age and caregiver status represented about 36% of the sample and were characterized by relatively low exposure to adverse experiences and lower risk for psychosocial impairment. Findings support the EPII as an instrument for measuring tangible and meaningful experiences in the context of an unprecedented pandemic disaster. This research may serve to identify high-risk subpopulations toward developing public health strategies for supporting families and communities in the context of public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

使用流行病-大流行影响清单分析美国与 COVID 相关的经历：与社会心理功能的联系

COVID-19 大流行对世界各地的个人、家庭和社区的生活产生了深远的影响，并限制了日常生活的多个方面。本研究的目的是使用 92 项流行病-大流行影响清单 (EPII) 确定大流行相关经历的具体概况及其与社会心理功能的关系。数据是作为对居住在美国东北部地区的成年人（18 岁以上）（N = 652) 并通过在线广告招募。以人为中心的潜在类别分析 (LCA) 被应用于 38 项与大流行相关的经历，这些经历显示出与感知压力显着的双变量相关性。还获得了社会心理风险的衡量标准。结果根据与大流行相关的经验模式显示了五种独特的受访者概况。代表大约 64% 样本的三个档案的特征是在大流行期间暴露于中度至高度的不良经历，并且更有可能筛查出抑郁、焦虑和创伤后压力呈阳性。这些概况因社会人口差异而有所不同，包括年龄、看护和就业状况。根据年龄和照顾者身份区分的两种情况约占样本的 36%，其特点是接触不良经历的风险相对较低，社会心理障碍的风险较低。调查结果支持 EPII 作为一种工具，用于在前所未有的大流行灾难的背景下衡量有形和有意义的经验。这项研究可能有助于确定高风险亚群，以制定公共卫生战略，以在 COVID-19 大流行等突发公共卫生事件的背景下为家庭和社区提供支持。
