Abstract

Coronavirus pandemic situation is acknowledged as a terrifying situation to human beings and has generated a tremendous loss in many perspectives to human life worldwide. People get impacted by physical, psychosocial, economic, and environmental crises amidst any pandemic crisis. Objectives: The current study aimed to interpret and explore the perception of the impact of a pandemic crisis on mental health, emerging issues, and governance among the people of a developing country during the lockdown of Covid-19, the second wave. This study also assessed their knowledge to assess their level of mental preparedness during Covid-19. Methods and Materials: An online cross-sectional survey was performed among a sub-set of a developing country population using a modified pre-validated structured tool. The sample size was 124. Responses were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics of Chi-square and regression analysis. Results: About 55.47% (71) had adequate knowledge. The mean knowledge score was 6.04, with a Standard Deviation (SD) of 2.16, indicating a low knowledge level. There was a higher significant association between demographics and mental health in terms of variables of psychosocial domains (p<0.05). Also, a negative association was found between their knowledge and their profession (p<0.05). Conclusion: Partial lockdown at the time of the study due to Covid-19 has led the majority of the people to undergo mental stress disregarded to their age, education, or their boundness to the healthcare profession. The healthcare system needs to emphasize enhancing appropriate knowledge to adopt preventive measures and efficient protocols, including vaccination.
2019冠状病毒病的社会心理挑战和新出现的问题:基于认知的调查
冠状病毒大流行对人类来说是一个可怕的局面,在世界范围内给人类生活的许多方面造成了巨大的损失。在任何大流行危机中,人们都会受到身体、社会心理、经济和环境危机的影响。目的:本研究旨在解释和探讨在第二波Covid-19封锁期间,发展中国家人民对大流行危机对心理健康、新出现的问题和治理的影响的看法。本研究还评估了他们的知识,以评估他们在Covid-19期间的心理准备水平。方法和材料:使用改进的预先验证的结构化工具,在发展中国家人口的子集中进行在线横断面调查。样本量为124。采用卡方统计和回归分析的描述性统计和推断性统计对反应进行分析。结果:55.47%(71名)的患者有足够的知识。平均知识得分为6.04,标准差(SD)为2.16,表明知识水平较低。在心理社会领域变量方面,人口统计学与心理健康之间存在较高的显著相关性(p<0.05)。知识水平与专业水平呈负相关(p<0.05)。结论:在研究期间,由于Covid-19的部分封锁导致大多数人经历了精神压力,而忽视了他们的年龄、教育程度或对医疗保健行业的限制。卫生保健系统需要强调加强适当的知识,以采取预防措施和有效的方案,包括疫苗接种。
