【 摘 要 】

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to investigate the association between psychological well-being and perceived stress, resilience, life project, and emotion regulation of Syrian refugees affected by the COVID-19 outbreak.MethodsIn the study, 520 Syrian refugee adults aged between 25–50 were included in the sample. The participants in the research sample are predominantly male (62.5%). Demographic Information Form, Psychological Well-Being Scale, Psychological Resilience Scale, Emotion Regulation Difficulty Scale, and Perceived Stress Factor scale were applied to participants as data collection tools.ResultsIn this study, correlation and hierarchical regression analyses were conducted. The correlation analysis revealed moderately significant relations between the variables. Psychological well-being was positively predicted by psychological resilience, Emotion Regulatory Aims, and Hope in a four-stage hierarchical regression analysis aimed at identifying the variables associated with psychological well-being. Conversely, Regret and Emotion Regulatory Difficulty, determined by Openness, Rejection, and Perceived Insufficient Self-efficacy, were predicted in a negative manner.Conclusion“The findings suggest that resilience-building strategies and support for ontological well-being may be associated with higher levels of psychological well-being among refugees. Additionally, perceived stress was negatively with psychological well-being. These cross-sectional findings highlight the potential relevance of psychological resilience, ontological well-being, emotion regulation, and perceived stress for future intervention research, though causal inferences cannot be drawn from the present design.
