The Psychological Impact during the Initial Stage of the Outbreak

50 views 0 03/28/2020 05/08/2020 Anne-Marie Lavigne

  1. A survey done on the general population during the initial COVID-19 outbreak in China showed 53,8% moderate-to-severe impact on mental health, and 28,8% moderate-to-severe anxiety among respondents.
  2. A higher psychological impact, and higher levels of stress, anxiety and depression were found among females, students, respondents with physical symptoms and people with poor self-rated health status.

 

This data comes from an anonymous online survey conducted across 194 cities in China from January 31 to February 2 2020. It included 1210 respondents and was conducted using snowball sampling techniques. However, the sampling strategy was not based on a random selection ; therefore the study group does not represent the general population. The Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) were used to rate the psychological impact and the mental health status.
