This study aims to explore the current level and associated factors of appetite and death anxiety amongst COVID-19 patients and also to identify correlation between the two variables.
A cross-sectional study.
Demographic and characteristic questionnaires, templer death anxiety scale, council on nutrition of appetite questionnaire and medical coping modes questionnaire were utilized.
The average scores of appetite and death anxiety were 19.46 (4.09) and 6.58, (3.21) respectively. 76 patients (100%) suffered from appetite loss, whilst 27 (35.50%) patients suffered from severe death anxiety. Marital status, COVID-19 disease condition ranks, educational level and death anxiety were explained 55.20% of the total variance in the appetite regression model (F = 31.83, p < .001), whilst the gender, avoidance coping strategy and appetite level were explained 49.80% of the total variance in death anxiety model (F = 17.80, p < .001). A moderate negative correlation between appetite and death anxiety was also confirmed (r=-.55, p < .001).
本研究旨在探讨 COVID-19 患者的食欲和死亡焦虑现状及其相关因素,并分析两者之间的相关性。

采用一般资料问卷、Templer 死亡焦虑量表、食欲评估问卷和医学应对方式问卷进行调查。
患者食欲评分为(19.46±4.09)分,死亡焦虑评分为(6.58±3.21)分。76 例(100%)患者存在食欲下降,27 例(35.50%)患者存在严重的死亡焦虑。食欲回归模型中,婚姻状况、COVID-19 病情严重程度、文化程度和死亡焦虑解释了总变异的 55.20%(F=31.83,p<0.001),性别、回避应对策略和食欲水平解释了总变异的 49.80%(F=17.80,p<0.001)。食欲和死亡焦虑之间存在中度负相关(r=-.55,p<0.001)。
