Long lockdowns, food shortages, and the inability to receive basic primary healthcare have aggravated the effects of pandemics. However, most studies have focused on the health problems of the infected people or the measures employed to keep the disease under control. This cross-sectional study focused primarily on the mental health issues of employees. By employing a convenient sampling method, we reached 237 respondents (135 with coronavirus history) to assess the impact of the pandemic on employees. Multivariate causal relationships were assessed with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The predictors included internal entrapment (INT) and difficulty identifying feelings (DIF), which are significant predictors of depression (DEPR). DIF was found to be a significant predictor of INT and EXT feelings, while FEAR was found to be a significant predictor of INT, DIF, and DEPR. Quality of life (QoL) was found to be a significant predictor of DIF and DDF, DEPR, EXT and INT, and FEAR. The results also showed that DIF mainly manifested its effect on depression through INT. The DEPR level of employees working only from home was higher than that of other employees. The depression levels of women, young employees, and those whose QoL was adversely affected by the coronavirus were higher than the rest.
长时间的封锁、食物短缺以及无法获得基本的初级保健加剧了大流行病的影响。然而，大多数研究都集中在受感染者的健康问题或控制疾病的措施上。本横断面研究主要关注员工的心理健康问题。通过采用便利抽样方法，我们联系到了 237 名受访者（135 名有冠状病毒史），以评估大流行对员工的影响。采用结构方程建模（SEM）评估多变量因果关系。预测因子包括内部束缚（INT）和难以识别情绪（DIF），这是抑郁（DEPR）的重要预测因子。DIF 被发现是 INT 和 EXT 感觉的重要预测因子，而 FEAR 被发现是 INT、DIF 和 DEPR 的重要预测因子。生活质量（QoL）被发现是 DIF 和 DDF、DEP、EXT 和 INT 以及 FEAR 的重要预测因子。结果还表明，DIF 主要通过 INT 对抑郁产生影响。仅在家工作的员工的抑郁水平高于其他员工。女性、年轻员工以及生活质量因冠状病毒而受到不利影响的员工的抑郁水平高于其他员工。
