What the paper says
The present study examined different factors that affected Coventry residents' mental wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 4162 respondents from the Household Survey of Coventry City Council were included in the data analysis. The short version of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (SWEMWBS) and a COVID-19-related worry score were used for the purpose of the study. The results indicated that the most significant influence on residents' mental wellbeing was the extent to which members of the household worried about COVID-19. Furthermore, there was a significant association between the mental wellbeing score and factors such as general health condition and alcohol consumption. Participation in social and cultural activities (in person and online), visiting park or open space, involving in everyday activities, attendance of pubs and clubs when COVID restrictions were lifted, enjoying live music in person and virtually, were all positively related to improved mental wellbeing.
