Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examines the prevalence rate of emotional distress and identifies its stressors among Malaysian women during the COVID-19 nationwide lockdown. Self-administered questionnaires based on previous studies and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale – 21 were distributed online, resulting in the recruitment of 1,793 women aged more than 24 years old. Emotional distress was prevalent among the women (37%; N = 669). Marital Issues, Financial Issues, Living Condition, Emotion and Working from Home significantly predicted emotional distress whereas Working on Site did not. We recommend psychological support and intervention strategies to help the affected women.

新冠肺炎全国封锁，这是马来西亚女性的情绪压力源

本研究调查了2019冠状病毒病全国封锁期间马来西亚女性情绪困扰的患病率，并确定了其压力源。基于先前研究和抑郁、焦虑和压力量表的自我管理问卷在网上分发，结果招募了1793名24岁以上的女性。情绪困扰在女性中普遍存在(37%;N = 669)。婚姻问题、经济问题、生活状况、情绪和在家工作对情绪困扰有显著的预测作用，而在现场工作对情绪困扰没有显著的预测作用。我们建议心理支持和干预策略来帮助受影响的妇女。
