“…Furthermore, our findings point towards the central role of trust during crises, showing that experiences of distrust of others, one’s community or neighbours, and of the UK governments’ handling of the pandemic led to social tensions and polarisation at every level. Similarly, trust in government was found to mediate the association between community resilience and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic ( Zhang et al , 2021 ) and to be associated with greater compliance with COVID-19 measures ( Dohle et al , 2020 ). Recent research on the role of social cohesion in the UK further suggests that investments in community integration programmes prior to the pandemic helped individuals and communities cope better with the impacts of COVID-19, and resulted in stronger and more connected communities, as measured by higher levels of reported social activism, closer personal relationships, and greater interpersonal and political trust ( Lalot et al , 2021 ).…”

Background: The first national COVID-19 lockdown in the United Kingdom between March to July 2020 resulted in sudden and unprecedented disruptions to daily life. This study sought to understand the impact of COVID-19 non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), such as social distancing and quarantine, on people’s lived experiences, focusing on social connections and relationships. Methods: Data were generated through 20 in-depth online and telephone interviews, conducted between May and July 2020, and analysed using thematic analysis informed by an ecological framework. Results: Findings show that the use of NPIs impacted social relationships and sociality at every level, disrupting participant’s sense of self; relationships with their partners, household members, neighbours, and communities; and polarising social and political views. However, experiences of personal meaning-making and reflection, and greater social connectedness, solidarity, and compassion – despite physical distance – were also common. Conclusions: Participant’s lived experiences of the first UK lockdown underscore the interconnectedness of relationships at the individual, community and societal level and point towards the important role of trust, social cohesion, and connectedness in coping with pandemic stress and adversity. Where infectious disease prevention measures rupture sociality, support for social connection at every relational level is likely to help build resilience in light of ongoing COVID-19 restrictions.

The effects of post-COVID-19 syndrome on patients' life are significant. As there is no prior study available, we investigated the impact of resilience and social support on anxiety, depression, and quality of life among patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome. We conducted a cross-sectional study with a convenience sample. The measures included demographic and clinical characteristics of patients, the Brief Resilience Scale, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, the Patient Health Questionnaire-4, and the EuroQol-5D-3L. Multivariable analysis identified that resilience and social support reduced anxiety and depression among our patients. Also, we found a significant positive relationship between resilience and social support, and quality of life. In conclusion, our findings suggest that resilience and social support can be protective by reducing anxiety and depression, and improving quality of life among patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome. Policy makers should develop and implement healthcare management programs to provide psychological support to these patients.

“…In other words, when individuals perceive that the measures made by the local government are strongly effective in preventing and stopping the spread of COVID-19, they may view the local government as credible and trustworthy ( 52 ). Existing studies have indicated that individuals' trust in the local government can decrease their perceptions of risk related to the COVID-19 crisis ( 53 ). Shanka and Menebo ( 18 ) also found that individuals' trust in the government is a strong predictor of their behaviors, and those who have more trust in local government are less likely to complain about the policies and measures, and more likely to be confident in dealing with COVID-19.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused millions of deaths, seriously hampering people's lives and their productivity. Drawing on social information processing theory, this research developed a moderated mediation model to investigate the influence of perceived COVID-19 crisis strength on individuals' well-being. The results from a sample of 441 suggest that individuals' perceived COVID-19 crisis strength indirectly affects their life satisfaction and sleep quality via their perceived risk of being infected. Moreover, both individuals' trust in local government and mindfulness trait can buffer the positive effect of perceived COVID-19 crisis strength on their perceived risk of being infected. At the same time, they also buffer the indirect impact of individuals' perceived COVID-19 crisis strength on life satisfaction and sleep quality through perceived risk of being infected. This research provides several practical implications for governments and individuals to mitigate the negative influences of the COVID-19 pandemic and help individuals boost life satisfaction and sleep quality.
