“…For example, social participation could be targeted more strongly for people with existing mental illnesses. These report lower social inclusion than healthy individuals [ 57 ] and could particularly benefit from strengthening social resources and increasing resilience. Particular attention should also be paid to people who are likely to experience changes in their social environment, e.g., due to job loss, retirement, or divorce.…”

Resilience is closely related to mental health and well-being. Identifying risk groups with lower resilience and the variables associated with resilience informs preventive approaches. Previous research on resilience patterns in the general population is heterogeneous, and comprehensive large-scale studies are needed. The aim of our study is to examine sociodemographic and social correlates of resilience in a large population-based sample. We examined 4795 participants from the LIFE-Adult-Study. Assessments included resilience (RS-11), social support (ESSI), and social network (LSNS), as well as the sociodemographic variables age, gender, marital status, education, and occupation. The association of resilience with sociodemographic and social correlates was examined using linear regression analyses. Higher resilience was associated with female gender, married marital status, high education, and full-time occupation. Social support and social network were positively associated with resilience. Our results implicate that resilience is related to various sociodemographic variables. Social variables seem to be particularly important for resilience. We identified risk groups with lower resilience, which should be given special attention by public health policies, especially in times of crisis. Reducing loneliness and promoting social connectedness may be promising ways to build resilience in the general population.

“…In order to curb the virus outbreak, the German government, like administrations in many other countries, ordered a nationwide lockdown. There is evidence from previous pandemics, for example, the SARS pandemic in 2003/2004, and from first investigations during the COVID-19 pandemic, that lockdowns, quarantine, and social distancing can have serious, negative consequences for the social and mental health of the affected population [1][2][3].…”

Our study aims to examine the associations of sociodemographic factors, social support, resilience, and perceptions of the COVID-19 pandemic with late-life depression and anxiety symptoms in a cardiovascular risk group and a matched sample from the German general population during the beginning of the pandemic and draw a comparison regarding psychosocial characteristics. Data of n = 1236 participants (aged 64–81 years) were analyzed, with n = 618 participants showing a cardiovascular risk profile, and n = 618 participants from the general population. The cardiovascular risk sample had slightly higher levels of depressive symptoms and felt more threatened by the virus due to pre-existing conditions. In the cardiovascular risk group, social support was associated with less depressive and anxiety symptoms. In the general population, high social support was associated with less depressive symptoms. Experiencing high levels of worries due to COVID-19 was associated with more anxiety in the general population. Resilience was associated with less depressive and anxiety symptoms in both groups. Compared to the general population, the cardiovascular risk group showed slightly higher levels of depressive symptomatology even at the beginning of the pandemic and may be supported by addressing perceived social support and resilience in prevention programs targeting mental health.

“…Anhand von deutschen Daten, fokussiert auf den übereinstimmend eingesetzten Fragebogen PHQ-4 [5], fand sich ebenfalls eine erhöhte Angst-und Depressionssymptomatik im Vergleich zu vor der Pandemie [6]. Es zeigte sich auch, dass die Angst-und Depressionssymptome (PHQ-4) im zweiten Lockdown geringer ausfielen als im ersten [7] und sich somit über den Pandemieverlauf dem präpandemischen Ausgangsniveau annäherten [8]. Bei Kuehner et al [9] fanden sich keine signifikanten Unterschiede in der psychischen Symptomatik (PHQ-4) im Vergleich 2018 versus 2020.…”

Zusammenfassung Ziel der Studie Es wird untersucht, ob es im Zuge der Coronapandemie zu einer Erhöhung der psychischen Belastung in einer deutschen Normalbevölkerungsstichprobe Erwachsener aus Sachsen kommt. Methodik 2017/2018 und 2022 wurden je N=289 Teilnehmer:innen (54,7% weiblich) der Sächsischen Längsschnittstudie mittels Fragebögen (PHQ-4, SSS-8) zu ihrem psychischen Befinden befragt. Ergebnisse Im Vergleich von 2017/2018 zu 2022 kommt es zu einer signifikanten Zunahme der Beschwerden (Ängstlichkeit, Depressivität, psychische Belastung, Körperbeschwerden) mit Effektstärken im kleinen und mittleren Bereich (Cohens d=0.26-0.62). Schlussfolgerung Die Datenerhebung erfolgte nicht aufgrund der Pandemie sondern routinemäßig in einer existierenden Langzeituntersuchung. Die Coronapandemie führte in einer sächsischen, altershomogenen Stichprobe längsschnittlich zu einem Anstieg der psychischen Belastung und der Körperbeschwerden.
