While global attention has focused largely on the effects of the coronavirus on physical health, the effects of the coronavirus on mental health cannot be ignored. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of COVID-19 disease on mental health and its relationship with other clinical variables.
In this study, adult patients over 18 years of age who were diagnosed with COVID 19 by real time-polymerized chain reaction (RT-PCR) method in our city were included. By using some psychological scales, psychological influence was determined in the study subjects.
DASS-21 anxiety and total scores were higher in female patients than males. COVID-19 Fear Scale, DASS-21 anxiety, depression, and total scores were higher in married patients than single ones. Patients living in rural areas had higher Fear of COVID-19 scale, DASS-21, depression, and total scores and lower Life Satisfaction Scale scores compared to those living in city centers. Patients with any chronic illness and psychiatric disorder had higher COVID-19 Fear Scale, DASS-21 anxiety, and total scores. The presence of respiratory symptoms and positive CT pneumonia were closely associated with higher scale scores.
We suggest that the COVID-19 outbreak seems to also affect patients psychologically. This influence is more in COVID-19 positive patients who were females, married, those living in rural areas, ones with chronic medical or psychiatric disorder, and ones with respiratory symptoms and positive CT findings. Future studies with face-to-face interviews are required to prove this observation further.
虽然全球关注的焦点主要集中在冠状病毒对身体健康的影响上，但冠状病毒对心理健康的影响也不容忽视。因此，本研究旨在调查新冠病毒疾病对心理健康的影响及其与其他临床变量的关系。
本研究纳入了我市18岁以上通过实时聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR）方法确诊为新冠病毒感染的成年患者。通过使用一些心理量表，确定研究对象的心理影响。
女性患者的抑郁焦虑压力量表-21（DASS-21）焦虑得分和总分高于男性。已婚患者的新冠病毒恐惧量表、DASS-21焦虑、抑郁和总分高于单身患者。与居住在市中心的患者相比，居住在农村地区的患者新冠病毒恐惧量表得分、DASS-21、抑郁和总分更高，生活满意度量表得分更低。患有任何慢性疾病和精神疾病的患者新冠病毒恐惧量表、DASS-21焦虑和总分更高。呼吸道症状的存在和CT肺炎阳性与更高的量表得分密切相关。
我们认为新冠病毒疫情似乎也会对患者心理产生影响。这种影响在女性、已婚、居住在农村地区、患有慢性内科或精神疾病以及有呼吸道症状和CT检查结果阳性的新冠病毒阳性患者中更为明显。需要通过面对面访谈的进一步研究来证实这一观察结果。
