Impact of COVID-19 on Public Mental Health and the Buffering Effect of a Sense of Coherence	2020-08-18		.txt	text/plain	2988	180	50	OBJECTIVE: This prospective study aimed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on mental health and to investigate the ability of pre-outbreak SOC levels to predict changes in psychopathological symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Although mental health was stable in most respondents, a small group of respondents characterized by low levels of SOC experienced increased psychopathological symptoms from preto post-outbreak. In the current study, we aimed to examine the number of respondents who experienced a clinically significant change in psychopathological symptom levels from preto post-outbreak assessment or significant levels of CO-VID-19-related traumatic distress. Based on previous studies on COVID-19-related traumatic distress [5, 25] , we expected significant levels of traumatic distress in 10-20% of the sample and stronger stress responses in females, younger respondents, and those reporting a poor sleep quality. In the low-stress group, psychopathological symptoms decreased from pre-to post-outbreak assessment and SOC levels increased.	./cache/cord-012898-1jl6zcwa.txt	./txt/cord-012898-1jl6zcwa.txt
