ABSTRACT

Background

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to increases in anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, burnout, grief, and suicide, particularly for healthcare workers and vulnerable individuals. In some places, due to low vaccination rates and new variants of SARS-CoV-2 emerging, psychosocial strategies for remaining resilient during an ongoing multi-faceted stressor are still needed. Elsewhere, thanks to successful vaccination campaigns, some countries have begun reopening but questions remain regarding how to best recover, adjust, and grow following the collective stress and loss caused by the pandemic.

Method

Here, we briefly describe three evidence-based strategies that can help foster individual and collective recovery, growth, and resilience: cultivating social belonging, practicing compassion, and engaging in kindness.

Results

Social belonging involves a sense of interpersonal connectedness. Practicing compassion involves perceiving suffering as part of a larger shared human experience and directing kindness toward it. Finally, engaging in kindness involves prosocial acts toward others.

Conclusions

Together, these strategies can promote social connectedness and help reduce anxiety, stress, and depression, which may help psychologists, policymakers, and the global community remain resilience in places where cases are still high while promoting adjustment and growth in communities that are now recovering and looking to the future.

社会归属感、同情心和善良：从 COVID-19 大流行中培养韧性、恢复和增长的关键要素

摘要

背景

2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 大流行导致焦虑、抑郁、创伤后应激障碍、倦怠、悲伤和自杀增加，尤其是对医护人员和弱势群体而言。在某些地方，由于疫苗接种率低和 SARS-CoV-2 新变种的出现，仍然需要在持续的多方面压力源中保持弹性的社会心理策略。在其他地方，由于成功的疫苗接种运动，一些国家已经开始重新开放，但在大流行造成的集体压力和损失之后，如何最好地恢复、调整和增​​长的问题仍然存在。

方法

在这里，我们简要描述了三种有助于促进个人和集体恢复、成长和复原力的循证策略：培养社会归属感、实践同情心和善待他人。

结果

社会归属感涉及人际关系感。实践同情心包括将苦难视为更广泛的人类共同经历的一部分，并以善意对待它。最后，善意涉及对他人的亲社会行为。

结论

总之，这些策略可以促进社会联系并帮助减少焦虑、压力和抑郁，这可能有助于心理学家、政策制定者和国际社会在病例仍然很高的地方保持弹性，同时促进正在恢复和恢复的社区的调整和增长。展望未来。
