We investigated whether patterns of work during COVID-19 pandemic altered by effort to contain the outbreak affected anxiety and depression.
We conducted a cross-sectional online survey of 911 residents of Philadelphia, inquiring about their working lives during early months of the epidemic, symptoms of anxiety and depression, plus demographics, perceived sources of support, and general health.
Occupational contact with suspected COVID-19 cases was associated with anxiety. Concerns about return to work, childcare, lack of sick leave, and loss/reduction in work correlated with anxiety and depression, even when there was no evidence of occupational contact with infected persons; patterns differed by sex.
Heightened anxiety and depression during COVID-19 pandemic can be due to widespread disruption of working lives, especially in "non-essential" low-income industries, on par with experience in healthcare.
我们调查了在新冠疫情期间,为控制疫情所做的努力是否改变了工作模式,以及这是否影响了焦虑和抑郁情绪。
我们对911名费城居民进行了一项横断面在线调查,询问他们在疫情最初几个月的工作生活、焦虑和抑郁症状,以及人口统计学信息、感知到的支持来源和总体健康状况。
与疑似新冠病例的职业接触与焦虑有关。即使没有与感染者职业接触的证据,对重返工作岗位、儿童保育、缺乏病假以及工作损失/减少的担忧也与焦虑和抑郁相关;不同性别表现出的模式有所不同。
新冠疫情期间焦虑和抑郁情绪加剧可能是由于工作生活受到广泛干扰,尤其是在“非必要”的低收入行业,这与医疗行业的情况相当。
