“…However, the perception of more social support can make them feel cared for, understood, and valued by others, which can strengthen one's self-efficacy in coping with the uncertainty of the future (Casale and Flett, 2020). Confirming and extending previous findings on the benefits of social support in disasters (Arnberg et al, 2012;Gabert-Quillen et al, 2012;Guilaran et al, 2018;Skalski et al, 2020), findings from the present study demonstrated the protective role of social support for lonely people across different stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

The isolation necessary to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can give rise to anxiety, especially for lonely people who often feel upset without others' company. Although isolated from others, people can still receive support from others, which might lower their COVID-19 anxiety. To examine the relationship between loneliness, perceived social support, and anxiety, we measured 222 Chinese participants' (54.50% female, M age = 31.53, SD = 8.17) trait loneliness, chronic anxiety before the outbreak, COVID-19 anxiety at the peak and decline stages of COVID-19, and their perceived social support across the three time points. The results showed that people's perceived social support dramatically increased from the pre-pandemic to the peak COVID-19 stage, and remained stable during the decline of COVID-19 stage. In contrast, COVID-19 anxiety decreased from the peak to the decline stage. Further, perceived social support consistently moderated the relationship between loneliness with both chronic anxiety and COVID-19 anxiety. The current study provides initial evidence that perceived social support provides protection for lonely people in daily life as well as during unexpected disasters, which will contribute to finding ways to alleviate lonely people's anxiety during this global health crisis.

“…In this study, among the different symptoms of coronavirus anxiety, 'tonic immobility' and 'sleep disturbance' were reported to be the most pronounced symptoms. This result is similar to those of a study involving the general population in Poland in which these items obtained the highest means (Skalski, Uram, Dobrakowski, & Kwiatkowska, 2020). In addition, in a study by Shevlin et al 2020 while tonic immobility occurs involuntarily as a result of heightened fear and typically occurs in individuals who experience highly traumatic situations (Möller, Söndergaard, & Helström, 2017).…”

“…De Buck (2020), maximizing resilience in HCWs during the COVID-19 crisis was seen as vital to helping them safeguard their mental and psychological health and well-being. This pattern of influence was similar to that found in a general population, in which personal resilience and social support contributed significantly to reducing the severity of anxiety associated with the novel coronavirus (Skalski et al, 2020).…”

“…The reason behind this may be attributed to the stability of the health status of this age group compared to the age group 1-10 years in which the family is more worried because it is a recent incident the family witnessed, because the health status of the children of these families is still a source of worry, which causes a decrease in the psychological and social adaptation of the families of this group. Previous investigations proved the existence of such an impact, not only on the disabled person but also on the family in general (Skalski et al, 2020;Tummers et al, 2020;Stankovska et al, 2020;Brooks et al, 2020).…”

health psychology report •  original article background Helping families of persons with disabilities in times of the spread of COVID-19 is a major step to ensure their social and psychological adaptation. This call comes from the fact that from a health perspective, persons with disabilities have less immunity and are more vulnerable to deceases and infections. Many families of persons with disabilities have also expressed their concerns regarding the safety of their disabled member/s. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the impact of the new COVID-19 on the psychological and social adjustment of families of persons with disabilities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. participants and procedure The sample of the study was chosen randomly from the Asir region. The sample consisted of any member of the families of persons with disabilities (parents and siblings). Participants responded to a questionnaire, which was sent electronically via WhatsApp to the families of persons with disabilities. The questionnaire gathered demographic information about the disabled member from the family (age and level of disability). The questionnaire underwent statistical treatment to extract data for analysis. results The results showed less ability for families of persons with disabilities to adapt psychologically and socially to the spread of COVID-19. The findings revealed the existence of fundamental differences in the levels of psychological and social adaptation among these families due to the level of disability of their member and due to the variable of age, and in favor of the age group of 11-15 years. The study recommended providing safe methods of communication with families of persons with disabilities to reduce the feeling of psychological isolation and loneliness as much as possible during the quarantine or curfew periods. conclusions This study explored the levels of psychological and social adaptation of families of persons with disabilities in the time of COVID-19. The spread of the virus created a crisis in different counties and millions of people were infected. Persons with disabilities are among the categories affected most by the infection of the virus due to their weak immunity and their health problems. Therefore, response plans need to take measures that cover the needs of persons with disabilities and their families.
