摘要

孤独感是个体渴望的社会关系得不到满足时产生的主观情绪。缺少与他人的客观社会联系易诱发个体孤独情绪体验。新型冠状病毒感染疫情颠覆了人类传统的生活和交往方式,长期社会隔离导致孤独感显著增强并易引发抑郁、焦虑、睡眠障碍等心理情绪问题。社会隔离产生的孤独感以及带来的身心危害经过疫情冲击被持续放大,针对孤独感的防治需引起广泛重视。文章对孤独感的心理、生理机制进行系统回顾,清晰地阐释孤独感产生的心理、生理基础,并对疫情下孤独感的干预方式进行归纳总结,为早期识别、预防和缓解由孤独感引发的心理问题提供有效干预措施和诊疗思路。

Abstract

As a subjective emotion caused by the failure to satisfy an individual's desired social relationships, loneliness is easily formed under the lack of objective social connections with others. Due to the sudden emergence of the COVID-19, the traditional way of human life and communication has been subverted. Long-term social isolation results in a significant increase of loneliness and induces psychological and emotional problems such as depression, anxiety, and sleep disorder. Under the impact of the epidemic, it was found that loneliness caused by social isolation and the physical and mental harm that it brought were continuously amplified, and extensive attention to the prevention and treatment of loneliness should be given. In this research, the psychological and physiological mechanisms of loneliness are systematically reviewed and explained. In addition, the intervention methods for loneliness under the epidemic are summarized, providing ideas for effective intervention measures and diagnosis and treatment for early identification, prevention, and alleviation of psychological problems caused by loneliness.
