The COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) affected individuals and society and caused disruption, anxiety, stress, and loneliness. Being hospitalized during the pandemic increase a patient's negative feelings. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients' feelings (loneliness, depression, hope, self-efficacy) during a hospital stay. This study included 207 women, aged from 15 to 83 years (55 ± 21.2) that were hospitalized during the pandemic in Białystok, Łomża, and Biała Podlaska, Poland at internal medicine departments. The main reasons for hospitalization were cardiovascular diseases, abdominal pain, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, diabetes, and unknown fever. Respondents were asked to complete the following questionnaires: Sense of Loneliness (the DJGLS), Depression Beck Inventory (BDI), Basic Hope (BHI-12), and Self-Efficacy (GSES). Most of the studied group of women had an average sense of loneliness. A greater sense of loneliness was found among hospitalized women living in the countryside-the lowest sense of loneliness and depression was among women with higher education and the highest sense of effectiveness. One-third of respondents had a moderate degree of depression. Of the respondents, 39% had a relatively high level of basic hope. The assessment of self-efficacy demonstrated that 52% of the respondents showed a high sense of self-efficacy, an average sense of self-efficacy was shown by 35.5% of the respondents, and a low sense of self-efficacy was shown by 12.6% of the respondents. Numerous hospitalized women during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite experiencing moderate depression, had an average sense of loneliness and a high level of hope and self-efficacy.
新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）对个人和社会造成了影响，并引发了混乱、焦虑、压力和孤独感。在大流行期间住院会增加患者的负面情绪。本研究旨在评估 COVID-19 大流行对患者住院期间的情绪（孤独感、抑郁、希望、自我效能感）的影响。 该研究纳入了 207 名年龄在 15 至 83 岁之间（55±21.2 岁）的女性患者，她们在波兰比亚韦斯托克、洛姆扎和比拉·波德拉斯卡的内科住院。住院的主要原因是心血管疾病、腹痛、慢性阻塞性肺疾病、肺炎、糖尿病和不明原因发热。要求受访者完成以下问卷：孤独感量表（DJGLS）、贝克抑郁量表（BDI）、基本希望量表（BHI-12）和自我效能感量表（GSES）。 研究组中的大多数女性都有平均程度的孤独感。在农村居住的住院女性中，孤独感更强，而在教育程度较高的女性中，孤独感和抑郁感最低，自我效能感最高。三分之一的受访者有中度抑郁。在受访者中，39%的人有较高的基本希望水平。自我效能感评估表明，52%的受访者表现出高度的自我效能感，35.5%的受访者表现出平均水平的自我效能感，12.6%的受访者表现出低度的自我效能感。 在 COVID-19 大流行期间，许多住院的女性尽管经历了中度抑郁，但仍具有平均程度的孤独感和较高水平的希望和自我效能感。
