This study aimed to measure supplement consumption behavior and mental health status among Indonesian adults during the second year of COVID-19.
Online questionnaire regarding supplement consumption, and Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale 21 (DASS-21) was distributed from March to June 2021 and obtained 1006 valid and completed questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted to determine the frequency and predictor factors of the respondents' supplement consumption behavior and mental health status.
Respondents were divided into two groups, vulnerable and non-vulnerable individuals. The finding showed that 34.5% respondents were vulnerable individuals, including the elderly and those with comorbid disease(s). The vulnerable and non-vulnerable groups exhibited a high prevalence of supplement consumption, with the vulnerable group demonstrating a greater tendency for regular use. The incidence of mental health problems in both groups did not significantly differ (23-38%), where anxiety was higher than depression and stress. Supplement consumption was associated with mental health status. Several positive predicting factors for supplement consumption behavior included older age, higher economic status, and higher education. While the younger age and unmarried respondents were more likely to develop mental health problems.
Taken together, given dietary supplement consumption increased during the pandemic and the potential associations between supplement consumption and mental health, controlling the correct information and regulation regarding supplements, especially their risks and benefits, was important. Additionally, support for mental health issues was necessary, since it might affect self-medication behavior.
本研究旨在衡量新冠疫情第二年印度尼西亚成年人的补充剂消费行为和心理健康状况。
2021年3月至6月发放了关于补充剂消费以及抑郁、焦虑、压力量表21（DASS-21）的在线问卷，共获得1006份有效且完整的问卷。进行描述性和推断性分析以确定受访者补充剂消费行为和心理健康状况的频率及预测因素。
受访者分为两组，即易受影响个体和非易受影响个体。结果显示，34.5%的受访者为易受影响个体，包括老年人和患有合并症的人。易受影响组和非易受影响组补充剂消费的患病率都很高，其中易受影响组有更频繁规律使用的倾向。两组心理健康问题的发生率没有显著差异（23%-38%），焦虑高于抑郁和压力。补充剂消费与心理健康状况相关。补充剂消费行为的几个积极预测因素包括年龄较大、经济状况较好和受教育程度较高。而年龄较小和未婚的受访者更容易出现心理健康问题。
总体而言，鉴于疫情期间膳食补充剂消费增加以及补充剂消费与心理健康之间的潜在关联，控制有关补充剂的正确信息和监管，尤其是其风险和益处，非常重要。此外，对心理健康问题的支持是必要的，因为这可能会影响自我用药行为。
