This study aimed to investigate the gender difference in anxiety in novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) patients in the quarantine ward during the outbreak.
The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) was used on the seventh day of isolation to analyze the anxiety levels of a total of 242 suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients in the quarantine wards of two hospitals; 232 of these patients (112 males and 120 females) completed the anxiety scoring. The anxiety scores were compared between male and female patients using the -test, and a scatter diagram was used for analysis.
The SAS scores of females in quarantine wards were higher than those of males at seven days of isolation.
Women with COVID-19 are more prone to anxiety than men while in isolation. It is necessary to give more attention to female patients in quarantine wards in the future, and psychological counseling may be necessary.
本研究旨在调查疫情期间隔离病房中新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）患者焦虑情绪的性别差异。
在隔离的第七天使用自评焦虑量表（SAS）分析两家医院隔离病房中总共242例疑似或确诊COVID-19患者的焦虑水平；其中232例患者（112例男性和120例女性）完成了焦虑评分。采用t检验比较男性和女性患者的焦虑评分，并使用散点图进行分析。
隔离七天时，隔离病房中女性的SAS评分高于男性。
COVID-19女性患者在隔离期间比男性更容易出现焦虑情绪。未来有必要更加关注隔离病房中的女性患者，可能需要进行心理咨询。
