Most studies on the coronavirus pandemic focus on clinical aspects of the COVID-19 disease. However, less attention is paid to other health aspects of the pandemic. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the coronavirus pandemic (risk of infection by virus together with associated measures taken to combat it), and the occurrence of a wide range of psychosomatic symptoms and to explore if there is any factor that plays a role in this association. We collected data from a sample of Czech adults ( = 1431) and measured the occurrence of nine health complaints, respondents' experience during the pandemic and sociodemographic characteristics. The results showed associations between the coronavirus pandemic and increased psychosomatic symptoms and negative emotions. We further found higher risks of increased health complaints in younger people and women. It is also possible that there is higher risk of increased health complaints for respondents with secondary school education, students, and highly spiritual people, but this relationship has to be further investigated. In contrast, respondents with their highest achieved education level being secondary school graduation had a lower risk of increased frequency of stomach-ache. We also found that more negative emotions could increase the frequency of health complaints. Our findings suggest that the coronavirus pandemic and associated government measures could have a significant influence on the prevalence of health complaints and emotional state.
大多数关于冠状病毒大流行的研究都集中在 COVID-19 疾病的临床方面。然而,人们对大流行的其他健康方面关注较少。本研究旨在评估冠状病毒大流行(感染病毒的风险以及为应对病毒而采取的相关措施)与各种身心症状发生之间的关系,并探讨是否有任何因素在这种关联中起作用。我们从捷克成年人样本中收集了数据(n=1431),并测量了 9 种健康投诉的发生情况、受访者在大流行期间的经历以及社会人口学特征。结果表明,冠状病毒大流行与身心症状和负面情绪增加之间存在关联。我们还发现,年轻人和女性的健康投诉增加风险更高。对于中学教育程度、学生和高度精神化的人来说,健康投诉增加的风险也可能更高,但这一关系需要进一步研究。相比之下,具有中学毕业最高学历的受访者健康投诉频率增加的风险较低。我们还发现,更多的负面情绪可能会增加健康投诉的频率。我们的研究结果表明,冠状病毒大流行和相关的政府措施可能对健康投诉的流行和情绪状态产生重大影响。
