COVID-19 disease has quickly become a major threat and epidemic in the world. Many people are experiencing psychological disorders due to the rapid spread of the COVID-19 disease. The present study aimed to investigate the psychosocial status of the Iranian citizens during the prevalence of COVID-19. One thousand one hundred and sixteen citizens of Rafsanjan city participated in the cross-sectional study from March 15 to 30, 2020. The data were collected using demographic and COVID-19 related-items, and Health General Questionnaire (GHQ -28). The results showed that 35% of the participant had mental health problems. All participants had social functioning disorder, while 22.8% had physical symptoms, 26.8 had anxiety symptoms and sleep disorders. In addition, the risk of psychosocial disorder was higher in females, those who were living in the city, earning less than 1 million, thinking of being at risk for infection with the coronavirus, and those whose most important concern about COVID-19 was death (P < 0.05). The results of the present study showed that all participants had social dysfunction. Therefore, health-care providers are suggested to evaluate the psychosocial consequences routinely, design and implement appropriate interventions to deal with these complications.
新型冠状病毒肺炎已迅速成为全球的重大威胁和流行病。由于新型冠状病毒肺炎的迅速传播，许多人正经历心理障碍。本研究旨在调查新型冠状病毒肺炎流行期间伊朗公民的心理社会状况。2020年3月15日至30日，拉夫桑詹市的1116名公民参与了这项横断面研究。数据通过人口统计学和与新型冠状病毒肺炎相关的项目以及健康综合问卷（GHQ-28）收集。结果显示，35%的参与者存在心理健康问题。所有参与者都有社会功能障碍，22.8%有躯体症状，26.8%有焦虑症状和睡眠障碍。此外，女性、居住在城市、收入低于100万、认为有感染冠状病毒风险以及对新型冠状病毒肺炎最担心的是死亡的人群发生心理社会障碍的风险更高（P<0.05）。本研究结果显示所有参与者都有社会功能障碍。因此，建议医疗保健提供者定期评估心理社会后果，设计并实施适当的干预措施来应对这些并发症。
