“…Other women reported that they were grateful for little things in their lives and the opportunity to slow down and spend more time doing joyful activities. Some women explained how they maintained their gratitude, for example, by keeping a gratitude journal and by downward social comparison thinking the situation could be worse (Roberto et al, 2020). These findings highlight that, for some, faith may promote resilience and mental health, especially during crises.…”

Aim and MethodsThis perspective presents evidence of mature gratitude as a way of coping with the threats and boundaries of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This narrative, non-systematic review will be based on studies from the COVID-19 period in association with more general literature on the characteristics of mature gratitude related to good mental health.ResultsThe results from the literature suggest that a confrontation with our existential vulnerability during a pandemic is not only a crisis but also an opportunity to view our lives in a different way. Mature gratitude, as proposed in this perspective, can help us in coping with the threats and boundaries that are part of our lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This time of crisis gives us the opportunity to self-reflect on our current life and plans for the future and to reframe them through a positive lens which can encourage individuals to actively strengthen their psychological resilience and coping skills.ConclusionCultivating an attitude of mature gratitude through actions of kindness, expressing being thankful for life and God, and enjoying all the small things in life helps in coping with the current threats of COVID-19 and building lifelong resilience for the future. Knowledge about these associations can help psychologists, counselors, and coaches to support people who experience psychological issues due to the current pandemic and all crises to come.

“…Previous studies have proved the effect of spiritual well-being on resilience (Legada, Madrigal and Maravilla, 2020;Duran, Avcı and Esim, 2020) However, there are only a few studies confirming this relationship during COVID-19 pandemic. Among these scarce studies, Roberto et al (2020) also examined spirituality-resilience during relationship during COVID-19 and their qualitative study revealed the impact of spirituality on resilience in the context of the COVID-19. Similarly, Maraj, Gülerce, Rana and Meraj (2020) explored the relationship between resilience and hopelessness and showed the mediator role of spirituality in this relationship.…”

“…In fact, spiritual perspectives contribute to better tolerance to stress, and a better ability to cope with serious diseases and social isolation (Sharma et al, 2017). According to Roberto et al (2020) religion and spirituality are important factors that make individuals reframe the crisis and perceive event more positively. Individuals having connectedness with their environment and with their inner world are better at finding solutions to their problems and they are better at making sense of events (Narcikara, 2017).…”

“…For instance, Smith, Webber and DeFrain's (2013) study revealed that spiritual well-being and resilience are interrelated among young people.

Spiritual well-being is the affirmation of one’s life in a relation to external world, one’s ownself and a transcendental power like God. It reflects positive feelings, attitudes, and perceptions leading to a sense of identity, wholeness, peace, harmony, and purpose in life. In this study, it is predicted that individuals with high spiritual well-being will be more spiritually resistant during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is one of the most noteworthy periods when people need to be psychologically strong and resilient. In this study, resilience has been defined as the individual endurance against difficulties and the ability to bounce back and even get better. Hence we hypothesized that spiritual well-being of individuals will be effective on their resilience. We conducted our study in Turkey among adults older than 20 years old. We obtained 384 usable data and we analysed our date by using SPSS 20.0 program. Results confirmed the assumption of this study, regarding spiritual well-being/ resilience relationship.

“…Sin embargo, el discurso de los entrevistados frecuentemente posee elementos asociados a la resiliencia, puntualmente de origen espiritual. Tal hallazgo es congruente con un estudio reciente en el que se encontró una relación estadísticamente significativa entre espiritualidad y resiliencia durante la pandemia de COVID-19 (Roberto, Sellon, Cherry, Hunter-Jones, & Winslow, 2020).…”

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo conocer las experiencias y reacciones psicológicas asociadas al diagnóstico de COVID-19 en población hondureña. La metodología utilizada se enmarca en un enfoque cualitativo, con un diseño narrativo. La información fue recolectada por medio de entrevistas realizadas a un total de 35 sujetos adultos que hubiesen sido diagnosticados con COVID-19. Adicionalmente, como punto de triangulación, se incluyeron 5 entrevistas a personal médico trabajando en primera línea contra el COVID-19. Entre los temas prevalentes en el discurso de los informantes se evidencia que el diagnóstico positivo de COVID-19 tuvo efectos en el desarrollo cotidiano del sujeto, específicamente en lo referente a aspectos laborales, económicos y académicos. Además, los informantes comentan una serie de reacciones psicológicas, incluyendo sentimientos de culpa, ansiedad, depresión, preocupación por la salud propia y de los seres queridos, deterioro en la calidad de sueño, incertidumbre, temor y distintas actitudes hacia la búsqueda de atención psicológica. También se menciona la importancia de las redes de apoyo, puntualmente en lo referente a la familia, amistades y compañeros de trabajo. En ocasiones los entrevistados reportaron sentimientos de soledad y ser víctimas de estigmatización. Estos resultados se discuten a la luz de los antecedentes y sus implicaciones prácticas.
