Area of Science:
- Public health
- Psychology
Background:
- The third year of the COVID-19 pandemic saw increasing public fatigue.
- Understanding predictors and mechanisms of pandemic fatigue is crucial for public health strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the status of pandemic fatigue in Chinese adults.
- To identify predictors of pandemic fatigue and their mechanisms of action.
- To examine the role of stress response and future-oriented coping.
Main Methods:
- Study 1: Survey of 8426 Chinese adults on understanding and cooperation with pandemic policies (2020-2022).
- Study 2: Survey of 1635 Chinese residents on activeness of pandemic prevention and control (APPC), risk perception, perceived stress, and coping strategies.
Main Results:
- Public understanding and willingness to cooperate with pandemic policies decreased significantly from 2020-2022.
- Pandemic risk perception negatively predicted APPC.
- Perceived stress and preventive coping mediated the relationship between risk perception and APPC.
Conclusions:
