“…The national quarantine was further found to have powerful effects on reframing everyday life for Italians that needed to reconcile space and time boundaries which almost collapsed during the extended periods of home confinement, especially regarding the limits between work and family environments. Based on 60 in-depth interviews, Risi et al (2020) documented the reframing of home as a place defined in relation to multiple and contradictory roles and identities. In that respect, the authors showed in particular the challenges of marking boundaries between professional and private life when everything becomes squeezed inside the home (Risi et al 2020).…”

The impact of the coronavirus crisis on European societies. What have we learnt and where do we go from here? – Introduction to the COVID volume

et al. 2021

The coronavirus pandemic, which first impacted European societies in early 2020, has created a twofold crisis by combining a health threat with economic turmoil. While the crisis has affected all European societies very significantly, its impact varies across countries, social groups, and societal domains. In an effort to provide a first overview of the effect of the coronavirus crisis, in this editorial we discuss contributions of 58 papers published as part of this special issue. These early research papers illustrate the varied impact of the pandemic on various areas of social life. The first group of studies in this special issue analyzes the effect of the pandemic on social inequalities with respect to gender, ethnic otherness, education, and work. A second stream of research focuses on the psychological consequences of the pandemic, especially with respect to wellbeing and resilience. Thirdly, the crisis is discussed on a societal level, in regard to welfare states, social policies, and approaches to crisis governance. In a fourth line of inquiry, several studies have analyzed the impact of the pandemic on social solidarity and cohesion. A fifth strand of research is devoted to examining the role of culture and lifestyles. This review ends with a discussion of areas for future research trajectories.

“…Such measures started in China in January 2020 and rapidly expanded to Europe, the Middle East, the USA, and the rest of the world, impacting lifestyle habits [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Italy, one of the first and hardest hit regions in Europe during the first COVID-19 wave, extended lockdown measures to the national territory starting from 11 March 2020 and released them only at the beginning of May 2020 [ 8 , 9 , 10 ].…”

COVID-19 outbreak imposed rapid and severe public policies that consistently impacted the lifestyle habits and mental health of the general population. Despite vaccination, lockdown restrictions are still considered as potential measures to contrast COVID-19 variants spread in several countries. Recent studies have highlighted the impacts of lockdowns on the population’s mental health; however, the role of the indoor housing environment where people spent most of their time has rarely been considered. Data from 8177 undergraduate and graduate students were collected in a large, cross-sectional, web-based survey, submitted to a university in Northern Italy during the first lockdown period from 1 April to 1 May 2020. Logistic regression analysis showed significant associations between moderate and severe depression symptomatology (PHQ-9 scores ≥ 15), and houses with both poor indoor quality and small dimensions (OR = 4.132), either medium dimensions (OR = 3.249) or big dimensions (OR = 3.522). It was also found that, regardless of housing size, poor indoor quality is significantly associated with moderate–severe depressive symptomatology. Further studies are encouraged to explore the long-term impact of built environment parameter modifications on mental health, and therefore support housing and public health policies.

“…In addition, our study contributes to the existing literature on employee well-being during the pandemic across countries (e.g., Bidzan-Bluma et al, 2020;Ebert et al, 2020;Gubler et al, 2020;Paredes et al, 2020;Risi et al, 2020;Sibley et al, 2020), by examining employees in France and the UK, two countries that were hit particularly hard in Europe, each counting more than 50,000 deaths caused by the coronavirus at the time of the study. A further strength of our study is that it was carried out during the strict lockdown period of eight weeks that both countries introduced in April/May 2020.…”

Employee Well-Being Profiles During COVID-19 Lockdown: A Latent Profile Analysis of French and UK Employees

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The coronavirus pandemic, social distancing, and lockdown measures have had an impact on employee well-being. This study uses Latent Profile Analysis to examine subjective well-being among employees during the first lockdown based on a cross-national survey in UK and France (n = 652). We identify five distinct well-being profiles, namely Moderately positive (67%), Languishing (18%), Flourishing (8%), Mixed feelings (4%), and Apathetic (3%). The results showed that while some employees were suffering, others managed to thrive and cope with the stresses of the lockdown. We also found that the profiles could be distinguished by perceived changes in financial situation and physical health as well as experienced boredom. Our study complements prior studies that examine the relations between individual characteristics and well-being during the pandemic on a general level by showing that employee well-being under lockdown is not the same across the board.
