The mental health of the elderly is vulnerable during public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and the risks of depression is increased. The study aimed to explore the effects of physical health, the Big Five personality traits, media use, and different kinds of perceived social support as predictors of levels of depression among the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in more than 120 cities in China with a sample of 1147 older adults, and hierarchical regression was established to examine the predictors of the level of depression. The results showed that almost half of the elderly (48%) had a status of mild or much more severe depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. The level of depression was negatively associated with physical health, extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and family support, while it was positively associated with neuroticism and media use. The study emphasized the effects of physical health, the Big Five personality traits, media use, and perceived social support from family as the predictors of levels of depression, providing further measures to help the elderly better react to a public health emergency.
老年人的心理健康在公共卫生突发事件期间（如 COVID-19 大流行）很脆弱，抑郁风险增加。本研究旨在探讨身体健康、大五人格特质、媒体使用以及不同类型的感知社会支持作为预测 COVID-19 大流行期间老年人抑郁水平的因素。在中国 120 多个城市进行了一项横断面调查，样本为 1147 名老年人，采用分层回归法检验抑郁水平的预测因素。结果表明，在 COVID-19 大流行期间，近一半的老年人（48%）存在轻度或更严重的抑郁状态。抑郁水平与身体健康、外向性、尽责性、宜人性和家庭支持呈负相关，与神经质和媒体使用呈正相关。该研究强调了身体健康、大五人格特质、媒体使用和家庭感知社会支持作为预测抑郁水平的因素的影响，为帮助老年人更好地应对公共卫生突发事件提供了进一步的措施。
