Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an infectious respiratory disease. Quarantine is often accompanied by unpleasant experiences for those who go through it. The aim of this study was to determine the mental health status of people during quarantine in northern Iran.
This cross-sectional study was conducted during the quarantine period of coronavirus. Conventional sampling was done from March 6 to April 6. Six hundred and forty-two individuals were included. Inclusion criteria were living in Sari and being home quarantined during the corona outbreak. Exclusion criteria included hospitalization history due to corona and unwillingness to participate in the study. In this study, the General Health Questionnaire-28 was used online to collect the required data. To analyze the data, descriptive and inferential statistics (t-test, analysis of variance, and correlation coefficient) were used.
In this study, individuals were included in the investigation with a mean age of 38.74 ± 11.89 (ranged from 15 to 73). Most of the participants were female (72.85%) and married (71.34%). According to the results, 21.5% of the participants had poor mental health. Mean mental health scores have a statistically significant relationship with gender, marital status, education, occupation, quarantine period, patients with corona, and exposure to a patient with corona ( ≤ 0.05). Furthermore, a negative correlation coefficient was observed between age and mental health score (correlation coefficient = -0.31, significance >0.001).
The average score of mental health has a significant relationship with gender, marital status, education, occupation, quarantine period, corona, and exposure to a patient with corona. Given the high prevalence of mental disorders in people during the COVID-19 epidemic, educating people and planning to reduce the psychological effects of the epidemic can be helpful.
冠状病毒病（COVID-19）是一种传染性呼吸道疾病。隔离对于经历隔离的人来说往往伴随着不愉快的经历。本研究的目的是确定伊朗北部隔离期间人们的心理健康状况。
本横断面研究在冠状病毒隔离期间进行。采用常规抽样，时间为3月6日至4月6日。纳入642人。纳入标准为居住在萨里且在新冠疫情期间居家隔离。排除标准包括因新冠住院史以及不愿参与研究。在本研究中，使用一般健康问卷-28在线收集所需数据。为分析数据，采用描述性和推断性统计（t检验、方差分析和相关系数）。
在本研究中，纳入调查的个体平均年龄为38.74±11.89岁（年龄范围为15至73岁）。大多数参与者为女性（72.85%）且已婚（71.34%）。根据结果，21.5%的参与者心理健康状况较差。心理健康平均得分与性别、婚姻状况、教育程度、职业、隔离期、新冠患者以及接触新冠患者之间存在统计学显著关系（P≤0.05）。此外，年龄与心理健康得分之间存在负相关系数（相关系数=-0.31，显著性>0.001）。
心理健康平均得分与性别、婚姻状况、教育程度、职业、隔离期、新冠以及接触新冠患者之间存在显著关系。鉴于COVID-19疫情期间人群中精神障碍的高患病率，对人们进行教育并规划减少疫情的心理影响可能会有所帮助。
