During the first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) wave there was a high prevalence of mental health impairments and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), particularly in patients with comorbid cardiac diseases.
During waves 2-5, all hospitalized patients with cardiac problems and suspected COVID-19 were eligible to participate in this study.
The prevalence of PTSD was 31.4% (n=48) in 153 participants. No age- and gender-related differences for PTSD were found.
The prevalence is lower than during the first wave but higher than in patients reported in other studies who were isolated at home. Routine mental health assessments are strongly recommended for patients at risk.
在 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)第一波疫情期间,精神健康受损和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的患病率很高,尤其是在合并心脏疾病的患者中。
在第 2-5 波期间,所有患有心脏问题和疑似 COVID-19 的住院患者都有资格参加这项研究。
在 153 名参与者中,有 PTSD 的患者占 31.4%(n=48)。未发现 PTSD 与年龄和性别相关的差异。
这一患病率低于第一波疫情期间,但高于在其他研究中报告的在家中隔离的患者。强烈建议对有风险的患者进行常规心理健康评估。
