Shanghai undergone COVID-19 lockdown for 2 months in 2022, affecting >25 million population. We aim to find changes in mental health during Shanghai lockdown and if mental health was associated with Shanghai lockdown, loneliness, and perceived stress.
We conducted two cross-sectional online surveys in China, which were before and at the end of Shanghai lockdown (survey 1 in January 2022, N = 1123; survey 2 in June 2022, N = 2139). Participants reported mental health, loneliness, and perceived stress through the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), the short-form UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS-8), and the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). We compared data between survey 1 and 2. We ran a multiple linear regression model to investigate the impact of Shanghai lockdown, loneliness and perceived stress on mental health.
There's an increase in the proportion of lonely people during Shanghai lockdown (49.77 % to 65.26 %). During Shanghai lockdown, the proportion of lonely people (68.97 % VS. 61.35 %, p < 0.001) and risk for mental health conditions (50.50 % VS. 43.27 %, p < 0.001) were higher among residents in Shanghai than outside Shanghai. Shanghai lockdown (b = 0.556, p = 0.02), higher ULS-8 (b = 0.284, p < 0.001) and higher PSS-10 (b = 0.365, p < 0.001) were associated with higher GHQ-12.
Participants reported their mental health status during Shanghai lockdown retrospectively.
Shanghai lockdown had psychological impacts not only on residents in Shanghai but also outside Shanghai. Addressing loneliness and perceived stress accommodated to the lockdown situation should be considered.
2022 年上海经历了为期 2 个月的新冠封控，影响了超过 2500 万人口。我们旨在研究上海封控期间心理健康的变化，以及心理健康是否与上海封控、孤独感和感知压力有关。
我们在中国进行了两次横断面在线调查，分别在上海封控前（2022 年 1 月，N=1123）和封控结束时（2022 年 6 月，N=2139）进行。参与者通过 12 项一般健康问卷（GHQ-12）、短式 UCLA 孤独量表（ULS-8）和 10 项感知压力量表（PSS-10）报告心理健康、孤独感和感知压力。我们比较了调查 1 和调查 2 之间的数据。我们进行了多元线性回归模型分析，以研究上海封控、孤独感和感知压力对心理健康的影响。
在上海封控期间，孤独感的比例有所增加（49.77%至 65.26%）。在上海封控期间，上海居民的孤独感比例（68.97%比 61.35%，p<0.001）和心理健康状况风险（50.50%比 43.27%，p<0.001）均高于非上海居民。上海封控（b=0.556，p=0.02）、更高的 ULS-8（b=0.284，p<0.001）和更高的 PSS-10（b=0.365，p<0.001）与 GHQ-12 得分更高相关。
参与者回顾性报告了他们在上海封控期间的心理健康状况。
上海封控不仅对上海居民，也对非上海居民产生了心理影响。应该考虑解决孤独感和感知压力问题，以适应封控情况。
