The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychological impact and coping strategies experienced by depressed inpatients during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy. We recruited 75 depressed inpatients. Logistic regression was used to determine predictors of PTSD-like symptoms measured with Impact of Event Scale-Revised. Predicting variables were age, sex, the Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced subscales scores, the Anxiety Status Inventory total score, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 total score. The prevalence of PTSD-like stress symptoms was 41.33%. Age, social and avoidance coping strategies, and anxiety levels were significant predictors of PTSD-like symptoms. Our findings suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic in depressed inpatients is associated with PTSD-like stress symptoms, anxiety, and maladaptive coping.
本研究旨在评估意大利 COVID-19 大流行第二波期间住院抑郁症患者的心理影响和应对策略。我们招募了 75 名抑郁症住院患者。使用逻辑回归来确定 PTSD 样症状的预测因素,这些症状通过修订后的事件影响量表进行测量。预测变量为年龄、性别、经历问题应对取向量表得分、焦虑状态量表总分和患者健康问卷-9 总分。出现 PTSD 样应激症状的比例为 41.33%。年龄、社会和回避应对策略以及焦虑水平是 PTSD 样症状的显著预测因素。我们的研究结果表明,COVID-19 大流行与抑郁症住院患者的 PTSD 样应激症状、焦虑和适应不良应对有关。
