BACKGROUND
Coronavirus is a large family of viruses that cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Coronavirus related to the RNA virus is mainly transmitted through droplet nuclei from infected persons cough, sneeze, etc. It aims to assess the socio-psychological behaviors of COVID-19 patients from neighbors during home isolation.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study in Kathmandu Valley assessed the socio-psychological behavior of neighbors toward COVID-19 patients in home isolation. Validated questionnaires collected data from randomly selected respondents. Descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted, with P < 0.05 considered significant.
RESULT
The study included 422 respondents (54% male, 46% female), with most aged 36-45 years (38.6%), and followed by 46-55 years (21.1%). The most belonged to the middle class (39.8%) or poor economic status (38.6%). Regarding COVID-19, 66.4% of respondents' neighbors were known of their infection, with 49.8% avoiding them, 42.4% ignoring them, and 36.6% maintaining social distance. Furthermore, 60.2% of respondents faced protests to leave home isolation and go to a government isolation center, and 69.2% reported had not received support from neighbors. Among the 30.8% who received support, primarily emotional (55.4%), followed by financial and medical support (18.5% each). Neighbor behavior significantly impacted respondents' psychological well-being, with 27% experiencing depression, 21.3% anxiety, and 19.5% stress. A statistically significant association was observed between neighbor behavior and psychological effects, with a p-value of 0.023 (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The majority of respondents experienced depression, anxiety, and stress due to their neighbor's ignorance, social distancing, and avoidance behavior. The psychological effects were significantly associated with neighbor's behaviors and home isolation strategy.
背景
冠状病毒是一大类病毒，可导致从普通感冒到中东呼吸综合征（MERS）和严重急性呼吸综合征（SARS）等严重疾病。与RNA病毒相关的冠状病毒主要通过感染者咳嗽、打喷嚏等产生的飞沫核传播。旨在评估居家隔离期间邻居对新冠肺炎患者的社会心理行为。
方法
在加德满都谷地进行的一项横断面研究评估了邻居对居家隔离的新冠肺炎患者的社会心理行为。经过验证的问卷从随机选择的受访者那里收集数据。进行了描述性和推断性分析，P<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
结果
该研究包括422名受访者（54%为男性，46%为女性），大多数年龄在36-45岁（38.6%），其次是46-55岁（21.1%）。大多数人属于中产阶级（39.8%）或经济状况较差（38.6%）。关于新冠肺炎，66.4%的受访者的邻居知道他们被感染，49.8%的邻居避开他们，42.4%的邻居忽视他们，36.6%的邻居保持社交距离。此外，60.2%的受访者面临要求其离开居家隔离并前往政府隔离中心的抗议，69.2%的受访者报告未得到邻居的支持。在得到支持的30.8%的人中，主要是情感支持（55.4%），其次是经济和医疗支持（各18.5%）。邻居的行为显著影响受访者的心理健康，27%的人感到抑郁，21.3%的人感到焦虑，19.5%的人感到压力。在邻居行为和心理影响之间观察到具有统计学意义的关联，p值为0.023（p<0.05）。
结论
大多数受访者因邻居的忽视、社交距离和回避行为而感到抑郁、焦虑和压力。心理影响与邻居的行为和居家隔离策略显著相关。
