Suspected patients with new coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) may suffer from unique mental health problems. However, the shortage of medical personnel and the infectiousness of the disease have challenged traditional psychological interventions. This study investigated the effects of a new WeChat-based psychological intervention on the mental health of suspected NCP patients.
This study included 48 participants (control group = 24 vs. intervention group = 24). The control group received conventional NCP nursing, and the intervention group received conventional NCP nursing and the WeChat psychological interventions. Participants completed the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Acute Stress Disorder Scale (ASDS) on the day of, and the 14th day after, admission.
There were no significant differences between the two groups (p > .05) regarding demographic characteristics, education, work status, anxiety, depression, or acute stress disorder on the day of admission (p > .05). On the 14th day after admission, the intervention group showed an improvement in anxiety (p < .05) and a significant improvement in depression and acute stress disorder compared with the control group (p < .01).
The WeChat-based psychological interventions can have a positive effect on the mental health problems of suspected NCP patients.
新型冠状病毒肺炎（NCP）疑似患者可能会出现独特的心理健康问题。然而，医护人员短缺和疾病的传染性给传统的心理干预带来了挑战。本研究旨在探讨一种基于微信的新型心理干预对疑似 NCP 患者心理健康的影响。
本研究纳入了 48 名参与者（对照组 24 名，干预组 24 名）。对照组接受常规 NCP 护理，干预组在常规 NCP 护理的基础上接受微信心理干预。参与者在入院当天和入院第 14 天完成自评焦虑量表（SAS）、自评抑郁量表（SDS）和急性应激障碍量表（ASDS）的评估。
两组在人口统计学特征、教育程度、工作状况、焦虑、抑郁或入院当天的急性应激障碍方面无显著差异（p>.05）。入院第 14 天，干预组的焦虑水平有所改善（p<.05），与对照组相比，抑郁和急性应激障碍显著改善（p<.01）。
基于微信的心理干预对疑似 NCP 患者的心理健康问题有积极影响。
