Resumo

Este estudo investigou preditores positivos e negativos de depressão, ansiedade, estresse e florescimento entre adultos brasileiros durante a primeira onda da pandemia de COVID-19. A amostra consistiu em 665 adultos (mulheres: 77%), entre 18 e 79 anos (M = 36,70; DP = 13,12), que responderam um questionário sociodemográfico; o Inventário Brief-COPE; a Escala DASS-21; o PERMA Profiler; o Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II; e a Escala de Coping Centrado no Sentido. Regressões múltiplas sugeriram que evitação e inflexibilidade foram preditores diretos de estresse, ansiedade e depressão. Idade, florescimento e saúde física percebida atuaram como fatores protetores, com diferenças significativas entre participantes com e sem diagnósticos prévios de transtornos. Coping centrado no sentido foi preditor do florescimento em ambos os grupos. Os resultados sugerem que intervenções devem considerar diagnósticos prévios, fortalecer dimensões do florescimento e estratégias de enfrentamento adaptativos, incluindo o coping centrado no sentido.
