Description
Diana Oviedo and co-authors study whether resilience helps explain how the COVID-19 pandemic affected mental health in adults in Panama, in a 2023 study. The pandemic years brought more depression, anxiety, and stress across the world. Past work shows resilience can soften those symptoms. Less was known about that link in Central America, which is why the team ran this study there.
They recruited 480 adults from March to May 2021 to fill in an online survey. The survey asked about background, mood symptoms, resilience, and social support. The team then tested whether resilience sits in the middle of the path from pandemic strain to symptoms. Their results say it does: how people saw the pandemic hit them linked to symptoms in part through their level of resilience.
