Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is a new viral disease that has spread rapidly worldwide since December 2019 and there is no effective treatment for it. The current study aimed to investigate the psychological consequences and related factors among COVID-19 survivors.
This descriptive analytical study was conducted on 152 patients with COVID-19 referred to referral hospitals in southeastern Iran in 2020. Data collection tools were three questionnaires of demographic and background information, Depression Anxiety stress Scale (DASS-21) and Impact of Events Scale-Revised (IESR). Descriptive and inferential statistics and SPSS25 were used to analyze the data.
The mean age of patients was 39.52 ± 13.16 years. The patients were mostly female (63.8%). Seventy-three percent of the patients had severe posttraumatic stress disorder, 26.3% had moderate depression and 26.3% had severe anxiety. The mean scores of posttraumatic stress, depression, and anxiety among patients with COVID-19 were 41.59 ± 17.28, 12.13 ± 9.16, and 12.45 ± 10.71, respectively. Intensive care unit (ICU) admission, divorce, illiteracy, and retirement were all associated with higher psychological load among patients.
The results showed that patients with COVID-19 had different levels of anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress. These results may direct the attention of the medical staff to the mental health of COVID-19 patients, necessitating timely psychological care and intervention during an epidemic.
2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）是一种自2019年12月以来在全球迅速传播的新型病毒性疾病，目前尚无有效的治疗方法。本研究旨在调查COVID-19幸存者的心理后果及相关因素。
本描述性分析研究于2020年对转诊至伊朗东南部转诊医院的152例COVID-19患者进行。数据收集工具包括三份问卷，分别为人口统计学和背景信息问卷、抑郁焦虑压力量表（DASS-21）和事件影响量表修订版（IESR）。采用描述性和推断性统计方法以及SPSS25对数据进行分析。
患者的平均年龄为39.52±13.16岁。患者以女性居多（63.8%）。73%的患者患有重度创伤后应激障碍，26.3%的患者患有中度抑郁，26.3%的患者患有重度焦虑。COVID-19患者的创伤后应激、抑郁和焦虑平均得分分别为41.59±17.28、12.13±9.16和12.45±10.71。入住重症监护病房（ICU）、离婚、文盲和退休均与患者较高的心理负担相关。
结果表明，COVID-19患者存在不同程度的焦虑、抑郁和创伤后应激。这些结果可能会引导医护人员关注COVID-19患者的心理健康，在疫情期间需要及时进行心理护理和干预。
