Abstract

Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variant appeared in South Africa for the first time. The high prevalence of its mortality in elderly patients has caused an increase in anxiety triggered by this disease in aged people. Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the anxiety related-COVID-19 in the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant and its related factors in elderly patients who are candidates for cataract surgery. Patients and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 159 over 65 years old patients who are candidates for cataract surgery. Easy and accessible sampling methods were employed to select samples. Demographic characteristics sheet and the Corona Disease Anxiety Scale (CDAS) questionnaire were filled out by them. Fisher’s exact test, Mann-Whitney U and binary logistic regression tests were conducted for data analysis. Results: The results showed that out of 159 patients, 57.9% were female, with a mean age of 73.09 ± 9.64 years. The anxiety level of 70.4% of patients was mild or non-anxiety and 29.6% was moderate or severe. The correlation between anxiety related to COVID-19 with age, gender, vaccination status and history of being infected by COVID-19 was significant (P<0.05); however, the correlation with the job, place of residence and marital status were not significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: We concluded that older age, female gender, non-vaccinated and having no history of being infected by COVID-19 are the most influential factors that increase anxiety triggered by COVID-19 in elderly patients.
SARS-CoV-2染色体变体;老年患者的心理效应及影响因素
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2 (SARS-CoV-2)欧米克隆变体首次在南非出现。老年患者的高死亡率增加了老年人因该病引起的焦虑。目的:本研究的目的是评估老年白内障手术候选者中SARS-CoV-2 Omicron变异中焦虑相关的covid -19及其相关因素。患者和方法:本描述性分析研究对159例65岁以上拟行白内障手术的患者进行了研究。采用简便易行的抽样方法选取样本。分别填写人口统计学特征表和冠状疾病焦虑量表(CDAS)。数据分析采用Fisher精确检验、Mann-Whitney U检验和二元logistic回归检验。结果:159例患者中,女性占57.9%,平均年龄73.09±9.64岁。70.4%的患者焦虑程度为轻度或无焦虑,29.6%的患者焦虑程度为中度或重度。与COVID-19相关的焦虑与年龄、性别、疫苗接种情况和感染史相关(P0.05)。结论:年龄较大、女性、未接种疫苗和无感染史是老年患者新冠肺炎焦虑增加的最重要因素。
