Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This study analyzes data from 387 refugees in Uganda to examine how psychological inflexibility, avoidance coping, perceived threat, and trauma symptoms influence adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures. The research identifies a serial mediation model where these psychological factors link inflexibility to non-adherence. The findings suggest that reducing inflexibility may help improve risk perception and behavioral compliance in crisis settings.
