Methods: surveyed 3083 bushfire-affected non-affected Australian residents about their experiences bushfire, COVID-19, (depression, anxiety, stress, post-traumatic stress disorder) (resilient coping, wellbeing). Results: found high rates across all participants, exacerbated by severity exposure. For people who were bushfire-affected, being older, having less financial no or fewer pre-existing disorders predicted both lower higher outcomes.

Amid the global outbreak of COVID-19, resilience is likely to be one many possible outcomes. Studies pertaining following potentially traumatic events including disease have shown that vast majority individuals are resilient, and outcomes depend on a combination factors exposure severity, individual differences, family context, community characteristics. To better understand psychological dysfunction during researchers encouraged investigate long-term patterns mental health rather than cross-sectional prevalence rates, adopt prospective designs analyses, integrate multiple risk enhance outcome prediction, consider importance flexibility as situation unfolds.

Natural disasters are large-scale adverse events resulting from natural processes of the earth, often associated with death, trauma, and destruction property. They threaten harm or death to a large group people; cause disruption services social networks communal loss resources; involve identifiable mental physical health outcomes, among those affected. While majority individuals who experience traumatic event due do not develop psychopathology, can our psychological well-being in many ways they result both short long-term distress thus create significant burden conditions on community affected by them. In this paper we provide narrative review that focuses effects disasters.

The implementation of lockdowns and the Covid-19 pandemic situation have negatively impacted mental health (anxiety, depression). However, little is known about individual differences in longitudinal reactions to lockdown. We designed a study (a) identify various trajectories symptoms depression anxiety general population during after lockdown; (b) determine which positive psychological resources prevent individuals from falling into groups with most severe trajectories; (c) test mediating role flexibility. collected analysed data on sample French participants (N = 1399, Mage 43.4; SDage 12; 87.8% women) end first Participants were asked report their (in)flexibility at baseline each measurment occasion (five weekly observations 17 March 11 May 2020, including baseline). Using growth mixture modelling, seven dynamic profiles identified: four for three anxiety. Resilience emerged as frequent trajectory. Wisdom, optimism, hope, self-efficacy peaceful disengagement significantly prevented belonging symptomatic groups. Moreover, flexibility significant mediator these effects. This highlights importance cultivating protective factors damage potentially traumatic events (PTE) favour resilience trajectories.

Disasters cause sweeping damage, hardship, and loss of life. In this article, we first consider the dominant psychological approach to disasters its narrow focus on psychopathology (e.g., posttraumatic stress disorder). We then review research a broader that has identified heterogeneous, highly replicable trajectories outcome, most common being stable mental health or resilience. trajectory for different types disasters, including COVID-19 pandemic. Next, correlates resilience note their paradoxically limited ability predict future resilient outcomes. Research using machine learning algorithms improved prediction but not yet illuminated mechanism behind adaptation. To end, propose more direct explanation based motivational mechanistic components regulatory flexibility. Finally, how might leverage new computational approaches better capture flexibility in real time.
