Background

The traumatic subjective distress and personal meaning in life were examined in the context of the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic sanitary crisis and home lockdown. Method: A total of 543 participants answered an online survey that included questions about the individual characteristics of the pandemic experience, the Impact of Event Scale-Revised, and the Personal Meaning Profile-Brief. Results: Nearly all of life impaired areas, having the suspicion of being ill with COVID-19, having lost a close person to this virus, and having been accompanied during the lockdown were experiences associated with higher PTSD symptoms. Posttraumatic symptomatology was inversely correlated with areas of meaning in life. Lastly, a higher number of affected areas and a negative subjective lockdown circumstance explained greater total PTSD symptoms. Conclusion: Specific pandemic experiences and lockdown circumstances affected the presence of posttraumatic symptoms. The personal meaning of life seems to be involved in the process of less adverse traumatic consequences.

COVID-19 大流行最初几个月的个人经历、创伤后症状和生活意义

 背景

在 COVID-19 大流行卫生危机和家庭封锁的头几个月的背景下，对创伤性主观痛苦和个人生活意义进行了研究。方法：共有 543 名参与者回答了一项在线调查，其中包括有关大流行经历的个人特征、修订后的事件量表的影响以及个人意义简介的问题。结果：几乎所有生命受损地区、怀疑患有 COVID-19、因该病毒失去亲人以及在封锁期间有人陪伴的经历都与较高的 PTSD 症状相关。创伤后症状与生活意义呈负相关。最后，更多的受影响区域和消极的主观封锁环境解释了更多的 PTSD 症状。结论：特定的大流行经历和封锁环境影响了创伤后症状的存在。生命的个人意义似乎涉及较少不良创伤后果的过程。
