Emerging-adult undergraduates (ages 18–25) are at increased risk for mental illness, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Simultaneously, emerging adults face developmental tasks including identity development, finding meaning and purpose, and spiritual individuation. A case study approach is used to elucidate processes of undergraduates coping with collective trauma as a potential pathway to trauma-related spiritual growth via Awakened Awareness for Adolescents (AA-A) and emerging adults, a spiritual-mind-body wellness intervention. Awakened Awareness for Adolescents fosters enhanced spiritual perception to support spiritual individuation for improved mental health and well-being. Processes of spiritual individuation supported by AA-A during the COVID-19 pandemic from February to May 2020 are presented using students’ qualitative data and self-report measures of psychopathology, spiritual well-being, emotional regulation, and cognition. Shared cohort (N = 15) themes and one in-depth case (1) reveal ideographic processes of personal transformation and spiritual growth, (2) generate hypotheses around pathways of trauma-related spiritual growth and spiritual individuation for future research.

全球危机中的内心平静：COVID-19 急性发作阶段支持精神个性化的案例研究


新生本科生（18-25 岁）患精神疾病的风险增加，而新型冠状病毒肺炎 (COVID-19) 大流行加剧了这一风险。同时，新兴成年人面临着发展任务，包括身份发展、寻找意义和目的以及精神个性化。采用案例研究方法来阐明本科生应对集体创伤的过程，作为通过青少年觉醒意识（AA-A）和新兴成年人（一种精神身心健康干预）实现与创伤相关的精神成长的潜在途径。青少年觉醒意识可增强精神感知，支持精神个性化，从而改善心理健康和福祉。使用学生的定性数据和精神病理学、精神健康、情绪调节和认知的自我报告测量数据，展示了 AA-A 在 2020 年 2 月至 5 月 COVID-19 大流行期间支持的精神个性化过程。共享队列（ N = 15）主题和一个深入案例（1）揭示了个人转变和精神成长的表意过程，（2）围绕与创伤相关的精神成长和精神个性化的路径提出假设，以供未来研究。
