OBJECTIVE
To examine stress and psychological impact in severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) patients during the 2003 outbreak. SARS is a novel, highly infectious pneumonia, and its psychological impact is still unclear.
METHOD
At the peak of the outbreak, SARS patients (n = 79) and healthy control subjects (n = 145) completed the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and documented a range of psychological responses. Groups were balanced for age, sex, education, and living circumstances.
RESULTS
Stress was significantly higher in SARS patients than in healthy control subjects. Stress correlated significantly with negative psychological effects. Of SARS patients, 39% (n = 30) were infected health care workers; these individuals reported significantly more fatigue and worries about health than did other patients. Of patients, 25% (n = 20) requested psychological follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS
General stress and negative psychological effects are increased in SARS patients, particularly among infected health care workers. This may increase the risk of mood and stress-related disorders. Functional impairment is apparent in the postrecovery phase.
目的
研究2003年严重急性呼吸综合征（SARS）疫情期间患者的压力及心理影响。SARS是一种新型的、具有高度传染性的肺炎，其心理影响尚不清楚。
方法
在疫情高峰期，SARS患者（n = 79）和健康对照者（n = 145）完成了感知压力量表（PSS），并记录了一系列心理反应。两组在年龄、性别、教育程度和生活环境方面保持均衡。
结果
SARS患者的压力显著高于健康对照者。压力与负面心理影响显著相关。在SARS患者中，39%（n = 30）为医护人员感染者；这些个体报告的疲劳和对健康的担忧明显多于其他患者。25%（n = 20）的患者要求进行心理随访。
结论
SARS患者的总体压力和负面心理影响增加，尤其是在医护人员感染者中。这可能会增加情绪和压力相关障碍的风险。康复后阶段功能障碍明显。
