Use of online cultural content for mental health and well-being during COVID-19 restrictions: cross-sectional survey
- Abstract:
-
Aims and method: To gain a deeper understanding of the use of online culture and its potential benefits to mental health and well-being, sociodemographic characteristics and self-reported data on usage, perceived mental health benefits and health status were collected in an online cross-sectional survey during COVID-19 restrictions in the UK in June–July 2020.
Results: In total, 1056 people completed the survey. A high proportion of participants reported finding online culture helpful for mental health; all but one of the benefits were associated with regular use and some with age. Reported benefits were wide-ranging and interconnected. Those aged under 25 years were less likely to be regular users of online culture or to have increased their use during lockdown.
Clinical implications: There may be benefits in targeting cultural resources for mental health to vulnerable groups such as young adults.
