The COVID-19 epidemic has both physical and psychosocial consequences for the general population. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between the prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and social dysfunction during the COVID-19 epidemic in Iran. This cross-sectional web-based study was conducted on 1000 Rafsanjani citizens in southeastern Iran. Data were collected by using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 and the General Health Questionnaire from March 15 to March 30, 2020. The prevalence of GAD was 27.8%. The mean score of social functioning was 9.71 ± 2.66, and all participants had social dysfunction. Multivariate logistic regression test showed a significant correlation between anxiety and social functioning (confidence interval [CI], 1.16-1.30; p < 0.001), sex (CI, 1.49-3.04; p < 0.001), and concern about COVID-19 (CI, 1.38-2.73; p < 0.001). The COVID-19 epidemic had negative psychosocial consequences in the general population in Iran.
新冠疫情对普通人群的身心健康都产生了影响。本研究旨在调查新冠疫情期间伊朗普通人群广泛性焦虑障碍（GAD）的流行情况及其与社会功能障碍之间的关系。本横断面网络研究于 2020 年 3 月 15 日至 3 月 30 日在伊朗东南部的 1000 名 Rafsanjani 市民中进行。采用广泛性焦虑障碍-7 项量表和一般健康问卷收集数据。GAD 的患病率为 27.8%。社会功能的平均得分为 9.71±2.66，所有参与者均存在社会功能障碍。多变量逻辑回归检验显示，焦虑与社会功能之间存在显著相关性（置信区间[CI]，1.16-1.30；p<0.001），同时还与性别（CI，1.49-3.04；p<0.001）和对新冠疫情的担忧（CI，1.38-2.73；p<0.001）有关。新冠疫情对伊朗普通人群的心理健康造成了负面影响。
