ABSTRACT
This study aims to identify the trajectory of psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic among community-dwelling older adults and to clarify the association between coping behavior in the early stage of the pandemic and the trajectory of psychological well-being. The study was based on a cohort study, known as "the Otassha Study." We administered three follow-up surveys to 720 older adults who participated in the survey in October 2019 (T0) T1 June 2020, T2 October 2020, and T3 October 2021. Furthermore, we assessed coping behavior in T1 via a self-developed questionnaire comprising 10 items. Psychological well-being was assessed by the WHO-5 Well-Being Index (score range 0 to 25) in all surveys. The trajectories of psychological well-being were identified by group-based trajectory modeling. The association between coping behaviors and trajectory patterns was assessed using multinomial logistic regression analysis. Furthermore, among the 508 participants who participated in the follow-up survey two times or more, three patterns of the trajectory of psychological well-being were identified heavily decreased group (n = 39), decreased group (n = 352), and increased group (n = 39). "Walking" as a coping behavior had a significantly higher odds ratio (OR) to be in the increased group (OR = 2.32, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.06-5.05, p = 0.035) compared to the heavily decreased group. "Conversations with family living together" had a slightly higher OR to become an increased group (OR = 1.96, 95 % CI 0.87-4.41, p = 0.106), and "actively gathering information on COVID-19" had a slightly lower OR to become the decreased group (OR = 0.53, 95 % CI 0.26-1.06, p = 0.072) compared to the heavily decreased group. The results of this study suggest how maintaining health in the early stage of the pandemic had a great influence on the long-term health status.
