“…10,12 Although there was no notable change in levels of activity post-disaster, with approximately half of our survivors maintaining their pre-disaster activity levels across waves (48-51%, by sample), positive associations between individual activity and low distress suggested that the maintenance of stable daily activities is important for resilience over time. 9 However, contrary to COR, actual loss of family members or physical housing did not have a significant impact on psychological distress, when considered alongside demographic, social support and activity indicators.…”

“…Other work has indicated associations between post-disaster exposure, demographic factors and distress: family and housing loss were associated with greater distress following a hurricane, 5 and women suffered greater post-traumatic stress following the 2004 South-East Asian tsunami. 6 Subsequent resources and behaviours, such as the provision of social support 7 and the maintenance of daily activities, [8][9][10] have also been shown to be protective against mental illness across different natural disasters, whereas temporary prefabricated housing was associated with greater distress following the Niigata-Chuetsu earthquake. 11 However, much of the data collected has been cross-sectional, or has followed modest samples over time.…”

BackgroundThe Great East Japan Earthquake of 11 March 2011 led to the relocation of 300 000 survivors. Studies following disasters focus primarily on data collected in the immediate aftermath and neglect the influence of wider community factors.AimsA three-level prospective study examining associations between survivors' psychological distress and individual- and social-level factors in the 6 years following a complex disaster.MethodWe drew on two multi-wave data collections in the 6 years after the earthquake, using residents from different forms of housing. Sample 1 included six waves of private-housing residents from 2011 to 2016 (n = 1084 per wave), sample 2 five waves of residents living in prefabricated housing from 2012 to 2016 (n = 1515 per wave). We analysed prospective associations between distress and time (level 1), pre-existing disorders and disaster experiences and behaviours (level 2) and city-wide measures of support and physical activity (level 3).ResultsMultilevel models with random coefficients demonstrated greater distress in earlier waves (samples 1 and 2 respectively, adjusted β = −15 and β = −0.16, P < 0.001), among female respondents (β = 0.58, P = 0.01 and β = 1.74, P = 0.001), in those with a previous psychiatric history (β = 2.76, β = 2.06, P < 0.001) with diminished levels of activity post-earthquake (β = 1.40, β = 1.51, P < 0.001) and those lacking in social support (β = 1.95, β = 1.51, P < 0.001). Support from spouses and friends was most protective of psychological health. City-level support was negatively associated with distress, but only among those in prefabricated housing.ConclusionsPsychological distress diminished with time, but varied across gender, psychiatric history, housing, levels of activity and availability of social support. Practitioners should consider individual- and city-level factors when devising effective interventions.

“…Recent studies highlighted the importance of minimising disruptions to daily routines for adaptive psychological functioning during and after political conflicts and violence. 21 22 An extension of the social-ecological model suggests that psychological distress of conflict-affected people is dependent upon ongoing stressors as well as prior trauma exposure. 23 The population-wide conflicts can give rise to stressors of daily living even for those who are not directly involved in the conflicts.…”

“…21 It is postulated that the stronger the mechanisms of minimising daily routine disruptions, the greater the capacity to minimise depression risk. 22 Such mechanisms are also significantly stronger among people free of financial strain, 21 implying that people of higher SES are more capable of minimising disruptions to their daily routines in the face of PTE. There is, nevertheless, little research comparing these mechanisms across various types of PTE, including those that arise from direct participation in population-wide social movements or conflicts and those that affect even people without direct participation.…”

BackgroundPrevious research has suggested a socioeconomic gradient of mental health in the face of potentially traumatic events. Nevertheless, few studies examined the intermediary mechanisms of this gradient. This study tested a hypothesised mediating effect of disruptions to daily routines (eg, eating/sleeping habits) between socioeconomic status (SES) and depression among participants and non-participants of the anti-extradition bill protests in summer 2019 in Hong Kong.MethodsA territory-wide telephone survey was conducted during the movement in the first 3 weeks of July 2019 to collect self-report data from 1112 Cantonese-speaking Hong Kong citizens. Stratified by participation in the anti-extradition bill protests, logistic regression was conducted to examine the inverse relationship between SES and depression. Subsequently, path analysis was conducted to test the hypothesised indirect effect through daily routine disruptions.ResultsIn total, 581 (52.2%) respondents participated in the anti-extradition bill protests. Logistic regression showed that higher educational attainment was protective of depression among both participants and non-participants, while the protective effect of household income level HK$40 000–HK$79 999 (compared with <HK$20 000) was only observed among participants. Path analysis showed that 50.3% of the socioeconomic gradient was explained by daily routine disruptions among participants, compared with 8.3% among non-participants.ConclusionsDaily routine disruptions partially explain the association between low SES and depression, especially among participants of the anti-extradition bill protests. To improve population mental health, such disruptions should be mitigated.

Background:Evidence has shown that people living with nonpsychotic mental disorders experience difficulties in maintaining their daily living, consequently impacting on psychological well-being. However, the role of daily life experience remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to determine the association between daily life experience and psychological well-being in people living with nonpsychotic mental disorders, and evaluate daily life experience as a moderator of psychological well-being in this population.Methods:Literature search will be performed using a combination of title/abstract words and subject headings on 7 electronic databases according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data will be extracted by 4 independent reviewers (JH, SPCN, WKKW, and WKH). Disagreement will be resolved by discussion with senior reviewers. Observational studies involving subjects with unipolar depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, acute stress disorder, as post-traumatic stress disorder as distinct groups with quantitative measurement of daily life experience and psychological well-being will be included.Results:Effect sizes will be pooled by random effects model. The quality of the studies will be assessed using Newcastle–Ottawa scale. Heterogeneity between studies will be quantified using I2 index. This review is registered in PROSPERO.Conclusions:While symptoms and existing treatments of nonpsychotic mental disorders could be long term and dependent upon medical regimens, sustaining daily life experience will be a potentially important and concrete pathway that empowers patients to recover from the disorders, maintain or enhance psychological well-being, and be reintegrated into society. Findings of this review will inform prospective interventional trials of enhancing daily life experience in prevention of recurrence and enhancing psychological well-being in people living with nonpsychotic mental disorders.
