Abstract

This study quantitatively assessed adults’ mental health and overall wellbeing over time during the first 16 months of the pandemic in Ontario, Canada. A total of 2,188 participants participated in the study and completed online questionnaires at three time points (baseline—April–July 2020; time 2—July–August 2020; and time 3—July–August 2021), which included demographic questions, the Mental Health Inventory (MHI), and the Personal Wellbeing Index-Adult (PWI-A). One-way repeated-measures ANOVAs revealed a statistically significant increase over time in participants’ mental health (MHI), as well as a significant decrease in their satisfaction with their standard of living, physical health, mental health, personal relationships, safety, community-connectedness, future security, and spirituality/religion (PWI-A). While participants’ mental health improved, their mean scores indicated the presence of mental health disorders. Generally speaking, over the first 16 months of the pandemic, the self-reported mental health of Ontario adults improved, while their perceived wellbeing declined.

COVID-19 大流行头 16 个月期间安大略省成年人的心理健康和福祉
本研究定量评估了加拿大安大略省成年人在大流行病最初 16 个月期间的心理健康和整体幸福感。共有 2188 名参与者参与了这项研究,并在三个时间点(基线--2020 年 4 月至 7 月;时间 2--2020 年 7 月至 8 月;时间 3--2021 年 7 月至 8 月)填写了在线问卷,其中包括人口统计学问题、心理健康量表 (MHI) 和成人个人幸福指数 (PWI-A)。单向重复测量方差分析显示,随着时间的推移,参与者的心理健康水平(MHI)在统计学上有显著提高,而他们对生活水平、身体健康、心理健康、人际关系、安全、社区联系、未来安全感和灵性/宗教(PWI-A)的满意度则显著下降。虽然参与者的心理健康有所改善,但他们的平均得分表明存在心理健康障碍。总体而言,在大流行的前 16 个月中,安大略省成年人自我报告的心理健康状况有所改善,但他们的幸福感有所下降。
