The study investigates psychological and social moderators of anxiety, depression, and personal stress in Saudi Arabian residents quarantined for COVID-19.
Data were collected from 200 participants quarantined in Saudi Arabia using the Emotion Regulation Scale (ERQ), Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Multiple regression analyses were carried out in SPSS.
The results indicated that the overall prevalence of anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and stress were 40.5%, 57.5%, and 55.5%, respectively. Cognitive reappraisal, satisfaction with life, and the social support of friends reduced depression and stress in quarantine. Additionally, females were more likely to be anxious but less likely to be depressed, while older residents generally experienced fewer anxiety and depression symptoms.
The findings indicate that residents in quarantine, especially younger people, experienced high levels of anxiety and depression. Therefore, continuous psychological monitoring and mental health support may need to be integrated into health care during pandemics.
本研究调查了 COVID-19 隔离期间沙特阿拉伯居民的焦虑、抑郁和个人压力的心理和社会调节因素。
使用情绪调节量表（ERQ）、生活满意度量表（SWLS）、多维感知社会支持量表（MSPSS）和医院焦虑抑郁量表（HADS），从沙特阿拉伯的 200 名隔离者中收集数据。在 SPSS 中进行了多元回归分析。
结果表明，焦虑症状、抑郁症状和压力的总体患病率分别为 40.5%、57.5%和 55.5%。认知重评、生活满意度和朋友的社会支持降低了隔离期间的抑郁和压力。此外，女性更容易焦虑但不太可能抑郁，而年龄较大的居民通常焦虑和抑郁症状较少。
研究结果表明，隔离居民，尤其是年轻人，经历了高水平的焦虑和抑郁。因此，在大流行期间，可能需要将持续的心理监测和心理健康支持纳入医疗保健。
