Studies that have tracked the long-term sequelae of previous coronavirus pandemics (such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome [SARS] in 2002) suggest that psychological difficulties -including PTSD, depression, anxiety, stress, and impaired quality of life -can sustain for months and even years post-outbreak, particularly for those who contract the virus or who are directly exposed to it through their occupational roles (e.g., Bonanno et al., 2008; Chan & Huak, 2004; Hui et al., 2005; Kwek et al., 2006; A. In these five models, psychological flexibility explained an additional 5-18% of outcome variance -over and above demographic characteristics and COVID-19-specific coping responses (as measured by the Brief COPE). Whilst associations generally (inversely) paralleled those observed for avoidant coping, psychological flexibility accounted for unique variance in both distress and wellbeing -including COVID-19-specific distress (IES-6) and worry. ./cache/cord-314719-qi8gilkr.txt ./txt/cord-314719-qi8gilkr.txt
