| Abstract: | Objective: This study investigates how well-being and adaptive coping post-inpatient schema-focused therapy (SFT) predict mental health during COVID-19 in individuals with Personality Disorders (PD), 2-8 years after treatment. Method: Using a naturalistic, prospective within-subject design, 52 PD-diagnosed participants completed assessments post-treatment and at long-term follow-up, with 20 pre-COVID and 32 during COVID. Measures included Schema Mode Inventory, Mental Health Continuum Short Form, and Brief Symptom Inventory. Correlations and hierarchical multivariate regression were used. Results: COVID-19 was associated with lower social and psychological well-being. Social well-being at treatment completion and functional modes predicted changes. Conclusion: Inpatient SFT enhances long-term resilience by improving social well-being and functional modes, benefitting well-being during COVID-19. Clinical significance: COVID-19 has significantly impaired mental health, particularly for individuals with complex PD. This article seeks insight into factors that contribute to resilience in individuals with PD who underwent treatment 2-8 years prior, especially during stressful periods, like COVID-19. |
