This study examines the psychological impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 195 adult patients in Hong Kong. The Impact of Event Scale-Revised and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were administered to patients 1 month after their discharge. Of the participants 10% to 18% reported symptoms related to posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression. Symptom severity was associated with high perceived life threat and low emotional support. Women and participants who had low education level were more likely to have symptoms of avoidance. Participants who personally knew someone who had SARS were more likely to be affected by depressive symptoms.
本研究调查了香港195名成年严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)患者的心理影响。在患者出院1个月后,对其进行事件影响量表修订版和医院焦虑抑郁量表测试。10%至18%的参与者报告有与创伤后应激障碍、焦虑和抑郁相关的症状。症状严重程度与高感知生活威胁和低情感支持相关。女性和教育水平低的参与者更有可能出现回避症状。认识SARS患者的参与者更有可能受到抑郁症状的影响。
