Like previous pandemics, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has direct and indirect effects, including in mental health. To evaluate the immediate psychological impact of COVID-19, we conducted an online survey in Portugal (24-27 March 2020), using the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). From the 10,529 participants (M = 31.33; SD = 9.73), 83.4% were women, had a mean age of 31.2 years, and 70.9% were active workers. Depression, anxiety, and stress were rated as moderate to severe in 11.7%, 16.9%, and 5.6% of the sample, respectively. Moreover, 49.2% of participants reported a moderate or severe psychological impact of the outbreak. Women, the unemployed, those with lower education, living in rural areas, and with flu-like symptoms or chronic disorders were risk factors. Further research is needed to identify vulnerable groups to better inform and adapt mental health policies and interventions.
与以往的大流行一样,2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)有直接和间接的影响,包括对心理健康的影响。为了评估 COVID-19 的直接心理影响,我们于 2020 年 3 月 24 日至 27 日在葡萄牙进行了一项在线调查,使用修订后的事件影响量表(IES-R)和抑郁、焦虑和压力量表(DASS-21)。在 10529 名参与者中(M = 31.33;SD = 9.73),83.4%为女性,平均年龄为 31.2 岁,70.9%为在职人员。分别有 11.7%、16.9%和 5.6%的样本报告抑郁、焦虑和压力程度为中度至重度。此外,49.2%的参与者报告称疫情对他们的心理产生了中度或重度影响。女性、失业者、受教育程度较低者、居住在农村地区者、有流感样症状或慢性疾病者为风险因素。需要进一步研究以确定弱势群体,以便更好地为心理健康政策和干预措施提供信息和适应。
