Individuals face increased psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it’s unknown whether choice of coping styles are influenced by COVID-19 in addition to known predictors. Data from 26,016 UK adults in the UCL COVID-19 Social Study were analysed from 12/4/2020 15/5/2020. Regression models were used to identify predictors of coping styles (problem-focused, emotion-focused, avoidant, and socially-supported): model 1 included sociodemographic variables, model 2 additionally included psychosocial factors, and model 3 further included experience of COVID-19 specific adverse worries or events. Sociodemographic and psychosocial predictors of coping align with usual predictors of coping styles not occurring during a pandemic. However, even when controlling for the wide range of these previously known predictors specific adversities were associated with use of specific strategies. Experience of worries about finances, basic needs, and events related to Covid-19 were associated with a range of strategies, while experience of financial adversities was associated with problem-focused, emotion-focused and avoidant coping. There were no associations between coping styles and experiencing challenges in meeting basic needs, but Covid-19 related adversities were associated with a lower use of socially-supported coping. This paper demonstrates that there are not only demographic and social predictors of coping styles during the COVID-19 pandemic, but specific adversities are related to the ways that adults cope. Furthermore, this study identifies groups at risk of more avoidant coping mechanisms which may be targeted for supportive interventions.

人们在 COVID-19 大流行期间是如何应对的?26,016 名英国成年人应对策略的模式和预测因素

在 COVID-19 大流行期间,个人面临更多的心理困扰。然而,除了已知的预测因素外,尚不清楚应对方式的选择是否受 COVID-19 的影响。从 2020 年 12 月 4 日至 2020 年 5 月 15 日,对伦敦大学学院 COVID-19 社会研究中 26,016 名英国成年人的数据进行了分析。回归模型用于识别应对方式的预测因素(以问题为中心、以情绪为中心、回避和社会支持):模型 1 包括社会人口变量,模型 2 还包括社会心理因素,模型 3 进一步包括 COVID-19 的经验特定的不利担忧或事件。应对的社会人口学和社会心理预测指标与大流行期间未发生的应对方式的通常预测指标一致。然而,即使在控制这些先前已知的预测因素的范围广泛时,特定的逆境也与特定策略的使用有关。担心财务、基本需求和与 Covid-19 相关的事件的经历与一系列策略有关,而财务逆境的经历与以问题为中心、以情绪为中心和回避式应对有关。应对方式与在满足基本需求方面遇到的挑战之间没有关联,但与 Covid-19 相关的逆境与较少使用社会支持的应对方式有关。本文表明,在 COVID-19 大流行期间,不仅存在人口统计和社会应对方式的预测因素,而且特定的逆境与成年人的应对方式有关。此外,
