This study was aimed at evaluating mental wellbeing and health perception in the general population during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and at highlighting the correlation between them and selected variables.
This descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in 374 individuals, who were remotely administered two scales ("Perception of Health Scale [PHS]" and "Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale [WEMWBS]") and a demographic and clinical questionnaire.
PHS mean score was 53.24 ± 7.69 and the total WEMWBS score was 52.95 ± 10.75. A positive statistically significant correlation was found between PHS and WEMWBS (p < 0.05). Gender, marital status, and education levels conditioned mental well-being in a statistically significant. Suffering from a chronic disorder, COVID-19 symptoms, or having a family member affected by COVID-19 infection influenced the health perception.
Exposing the factors affecting the health and mental wellbeing perceptions of individuals, especially during the pandemic period, can guide policymakers.
本研究旨在评估 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行期间普通人群的心理健康和健康感知,并强调它们与选定变量之间的相关性。
这是一项描述性和横断面研究,共纳入 374 名个体,通过远程方式对他们进行了两项量表(“健康感知量表(PHS)”和“华威-爱丁堡心理健康量表(WEMWBS)”)和人口统计学及临床问卷评估。
PHS 平均得分为 53.24±7.69,WEMWBS 总分为 52.95±10.75。PHS 和 WEMWBS 之间存在正相关(p<0.05)。性别、婚姻状况和教育水平对心理健康状况有显著影响。患有慢性疾病、COVID-19 症状或有家庭成员感染 COVID-19 会影响健康感知。
了解影响个人健康和心理健康感知的因素,特别是在大流行期间,可为政策制定者提供指导。
