Abstract

Background: Coronovirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) first broke out in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, in 2019, and now it spreads in more than 100 countries around the world. On January 30th, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a public health emergency of international concern. It was classified as a pandemic by the WHO on March 11, 2020. With the increase in the number of cases reported by various countries every day, the COVID-19 pandemic has attracted more and more attention around the world. At the same time, this public health emergency has caused a variety of psychological problems, such as panic disorder, anxiety, and depression. In addition, the Wuhan Mental Health Center's analysis of 2144 calls from the psychological hotline from February 4 to February 20, 2020, showed that the general public accounted for 70%, medical workers accounted for 2.2%, patients with mental disorders accounted for 19.5%, and other personnel accounted for 8.3% (https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/kmff1vnaLsT2d9xQkK5pwg). Conclusion: Therefore, while controlling the pandemic, the government should also pay attention to the mental health of the general public, medical workers, and patients with mental disorders. Community mental health service systems, online mental health services, telemedicine, and other measures for patients with mental disorders may play a vital role during the pandemic.

2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行对公众、医务工作者和精神障碍患者的心理影响及对策

背景:2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)于2019年首次在中国湖北省武汉市爆发，目前已在全球100多个国家蔓延。1月30日，世界卫生组织(世卫组织)宣布COVID-19为国际关注的突发公共卫生事件。世界卫生组织于2020年3月11日将其列为大流行。随着各国新增确诊病例每天都在增加，新冠肺炎疫情越来越受到世界各国的关注。同时，这一突发公共卫生事件也引发了恐慌症、焦虑、抑郁等多种心理问题。此外，武汉市精神卫生中心对2020年2月4日至2月20日心理咨询热线2144通电话进行分析，结果显示，一般公众占70%，医务工作者占2.2%，精神障碍患者占19.5%，其他人员占8.3% (https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/kmff1vnaLsT2d9xQkK5pwg)。结论:因此，在控制疫情的同时，政府也应该关注公众、医务工作者和精神障碍患者的心理健康。社区精神卫生服务系统、在线精神卫生服务、远程医疗和其他针对精神障碍患者的措施可能在大流行期间发挥至关重要的作用。
