In December 2019, COVID-19 broke out in Wuhan, China, affecting the mental health and quality of life (QoL) of its inhabitants. This study aimed at investigating the factors associated with anxiety and QoL in the Wuhan populace during the COVID-19 pandemic. An online questionnaire survey was carried out during July 6-10, 2020. The questionnaire collected information on demography, anxiety, QoL, and social-environmental support. The main statistical methods included descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and multivariate regression analysis. In total, 226 participants were recruited. The findings showed that females, elderly, middle-income, poor health status, shortage of medical supplies, and insufficient basic commodities were associated with anxiety significantly. Multiple regression analysis indicated that social-environmental support was significantly related to anxiety. Higher social-environmental support was significantly associated with a higher QoL. Our findings showed that the social-environmental support may reduce anxiety and improve the QoL for those living in an area heavily affected by the pandemic.
2019 年 12 月，新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）在中国武汉爆发，影响了居民的心理健康和生活质量（QoL）。本研究旨在调查 COVID-19 大流行期间武汉居民焦虑和 QoL 的相关因素。于 2020 年 7 月 6 日至 10 日进行了在线问卷调查。问卷收集了人口统计学、焦虑、QoL 和社会环境支持方面的信息。主要统计方法包括描述性统计、独立样本 t 检验、单因素方差分析和多元回归分析。共招募了 226 名参与者。结果表明，女性、老年人、中等收入、健康状况差、医疗用品短缺和基本商品供应不足与焦虑显著相关。多元回归分析表明，社会环境支持与焦虑显著相关。较高的社会环境支持与较高的 QoL 显著相关。我们的研究结果表明，社会环境支持可能会减轻那些生活在受疫情严重影响地区的人的焦虑感并提高他们的生活质量。
