To investigate psychological response of Chinese public during the regular prevention and control of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), and explore the relationship among income loss, social support and mental health.Five hundred twenty-six participants were randomly selected by snowball sampling method. Chinese version of Perceived Psychological Stress Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, self-rating anxiety scale, and the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 were used to measure the levels of psychological stress, social support, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Demographic variables, income loss and income satisfaction during the outbreak period were also collected.The prevalence rate of anxiety, PTSD symptoms and stress problems were 19.8%, 23.8%, and 24.7% respectively. Multiple Regression Analysis illustrated that social support associated with stress, anxiety and PTSD after controlling demographic variables; for non-student samples, stress, anxiety, and PTSD were corelated with change in income and social support.During the regular prevention and control of COVID-19, social support might help reducing stress, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms. In addition to social support, change of income level was also an important factor for mental health. This study suggested the importance of maintaining a steady income after acute outbreak of COVID-19.
为了调查中国公众在 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)常规防控期间的心理反应,探讨收入损失、社会支持与心理健康之间的关系。采用雪球抽样法随机选取 526 名参与者。使用中文版的感知心理压力量表、感知社会支持量表、自评焦虑量表和 DSM-5 创伤后应激障碍检查表来测量心理压力、社会支持、焦虑和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)症状的水平。还收集了人口统计学变量、疫情期间的收入损失和收入满意度。焦虑、PTSD 症状和压力问题的患病率分别为 19.8%、23.8%和 24.7%。多元回归分析表明,在控制人口统计学变量后,社会支持与压力、焦虑和 PTSD 相关;对于非学生样本,收入和社会支持的变化与压力、焦虑和 PTSD 相关。在 COVID-19 的常规防控期间,社会支持可能有助于减轻压力、焦虑和 PTSD 症状。除了社会支持,收入水平的变化也是心理健康的一个重要因素。本研究表明在 COVID-19 急性爆发后保持稳定收入的重要性。
