Both perceived benefits and harms of COVID-19 have been reported, but whether they affect confidence in coping with the pandemic and mental health remains uncertain.
To examine the association of perceived benefits and harms of COVID-19 with confidence in coping with the pandemic and mental health symptoms.
A population-based survey was conducted on 7,535 Hong Kong adults from 22 February to 23 March 2021, when the 4 wave of COVID-19 was under control. Information on sociodemographic characteristics, perceived benefits (10 options) and harms (12 options) of COVID-19, confidence in coping with the pandemic (range 0-10), loneliness (range 0-4), anxiety (General Anxiety Disorders-2, range 0-6) and depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-2, range 0-6) was collected. Latent profile analysis was used to identify the combined patterns of perceived benefits and harms of COVID-19. The associations of combined patterns with confidence in coping with COVID-19, loneliness, anxiety, and depression were examined using linear regression (β coefficient) adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics.
The combined patterns of perceived benefits and harms were classified into benefit ( = 4,338, 59.3%), harm ( = 995, 14.0%), and ambivalent ( = 2,202, 26.7%) groups. Compared with the ambivalent group, the benefit group had a significantly higher level of confidence (adjusted β 0.46, 95% CI 0.33 to 0.58), and lower levels of loneliness (-0.35, -0.40 to-0.29), anxiety (-0.67, 0.76 to-0.59), and depression (-0.65, -0.73 to-0.57). The harm group had a significantly lower level of confidence (-0.35, -0.53 to-0.16), and higher levels of loneliness (0.38, 0.30 to 0.45), anxiety (0.84, 0.73 to 0.96), and depression (0.95, 0.84 to 1.07).
Perceived greater benefit from COVID-19 was associated with better mental health and stronger confidence in coping with the pandemic.
人们已经报告了对 COVID-19 的感知益处和危害，但它们是否会影响应对大流行的信心和心理健康尚不确定。
研究 COVID-19 的感知益处和危害与应对大流行的信心和心理健康症状之间的关联。
2021 年 2 月 22 日至 3 月 23 日，对香港的 7535 名成年人进行了一项基于人群的调查，当时 COVID-19 的第 4 波疫情得到了控制。收集了社会人口统计学特征、COVID-19 的感知益处（10 个选项）和危害（12 个选项）、应对大流行的信心（范围 0-10）、孤独感（范围 0-4）、焦虑症（广泛性焦虑症-2，范围 0-6）和抑郁症（患者健康问卷-2，范围 0-6）。使用潜在剖面分析确定 COVID-19 的感知益处和危害的综合模式。使用线性回归（β系数）调整社会人口统计学特征后，检查综合模式与应对 COVID-19 的信心、孤独感、焦虑症和抑郁症之间的关联。
感知益处和危害的综合模式分为获益（ = 4338，59.3%）、危害（ = 995，14.0%）和矛盾（ = 2202，26.7%）组。与矛盾组相比，获益组的信心水平显著更高（调整后的β0.46，95%CI 0.33-0.58），孤独感水平更低（-0.35，-0.40 至-0.29），焦虑症水平更低（-0.67，0.76 至-0.59），抑郁症水平更低（-0.65，-0.73 至-0.57）。危害组的信心水平显著降低（-0.35，-0.53 至-0.16），孤独感水平更高（0.38，0.30 至 0.45），焦虑症水平更高（0.84，0.73 至 0.96），抑郁症水平更高（0.95，0.84 至 1.07）。
从 COVID-19 中获得更大的益处与更好的心理健康和应对大流行的信心增强有关。
