The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many changes in the functioning of people all over the world in a short period of time. According to a WHO report (2020), it is women who are at a particular risk of the negative effects of the pandemic, especially in terms of mental health.
The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of anxiety, depression, irritability, and loneliness among adult women during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The study was conducted on a representative sample of women in Poland (n = 452). The data were collected using the HADS-M scale and the R-UCLA scale.
A low level of loneliness was found in 37.3% of the women, moderate in 38.9%, moderately high in 22.3% and very high in 1.3% of women. Self-rating of physical and mental health was significantly positively correlated with anxiety, depression, and irritability in HADS-M, and loneliness in R-UCLA. As the severity of loneliness increased, so did Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale scores on all subscales ( < 0.001).
The study group presented with mental well-being disorders in the form of anxiety and depression. Two in three women experienced loneliness.
新冠疫情在短时间内迫使全世界人们的生活方式发生了许多改变。根据世界卫生组织2020年的一份报告,女性尤其容易受到疫情负面影响,特别是在心理健康方面。
本研究旨在评估新冠疫情期间成年女性中焦虑、抑郁、易怒和孤独感的患病率。
该研究以波兰女性的代表性样本(n = 452)为对象展开。数据通过使用医院焦虑抑郁量表-简表(HADS-M)和修订版加州大学洛杉矶分校孤独量表(R-UCLA)收集。
37.3%的女性孤独感水平较低,38.9%为中等水平,22.3%为中等偏高,1.3%为极高水平。在医院焦虑抑郁量表-简表中,身心健康自评与焦虑、抑郁和易怒显著正相关,在修订版加州大学洛杉矶分校孤独量表中与孤独感显著正相关。随着孤独感严重程度的增加,医院焦虑抑郁量表各分量表得分也随之增加(P < 0.001)。
研究组存在以焦虑和抑郁形式表现的心理健康问题。三分之二的女性经历过孤独感。
