Abstract

Background: The level of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) associated with the COVID-19 outbreak, stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms was assessed. Risk factors for mental health in the Polish population have been identified.Methods: The 926 respondents completed a set of questionnaires consisting of questions concerningCOVID-19, PTSS related to the COVID-19 outbreak (Impact of Event Scale-Revised, IES-R) and their mental health status (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, DASS-21).Results: Most respondents reported severe PTSS related to the COVID-19 outbreak (44.06%), normal intensity of depressive symptoms (52.38%), anxiety symptoms (56.05%) and stress (56.48%). Female gender, parental status, having a relationship, at least a two-person household are associated with higher PTSS and DASS-21 subscale. A few physical symptoms, a medical visit, quarantine, negativehealth evaluation, and chronic diseases, knowledge of the increase in the number of infected people andthe number of deaths are associated with higher levels of PTSS. Some of the precautions and the need for additional information on COVID-10, the certainty of a high probability of contracting COVID-19, a low survival rate and concerns about loved ones are associated with higher PTSS.Conclusions: The indicated risk factors can be used to develop psychological interventions to improve mental health.

COVID-19大流行期间波兰人口心理健康风险因素

背景：评估了与新冠肺炎爆发、压力、焦虑和抑郁症状相关的创伤后应激障碍症状（PTSS）水平。波兰人口的心理健康风险因素已经确定。方法：926名被调查者完成了一组问卷，包括新冠肺炎、与新冠肺炎疫情相关的PTSS（事件影响量表修订版，IES-R）及其心理健康状况（抑郁、焦虑和压力量表，DAS-21）。结果：大多数被调查者报告了与新冠肺炎疫情相关的严重PTSS（44.06%），抑郁症状（52.38%）、焦虑症状（56.05%）和压力（56.48%）的正常强度。女性、父母身份、有关系、至少有两人家庭与较高的PTSS和DAS-21分量表相关。一些身体症状、就诊、隔离、负面健康评估和慢性病、对感染人数和死亡人数增加的了解与较高水平的创伤后应激障碍有关。一些预防措施和对COVID-10的额外信息的需要、感染新冠肺炎的高概率的确定性、低存活率和对亲人的担忧与较高的PTSS有关。结论：所指出的风险因素可用于制定心理干预措施，以改善心理健康。
