Abstract

Abstract: In a cross-sectional study, we measured the impact of the first three COVID-19 pandemic waves and two earthquakes, occurring during the same period in Croatia, on the quality of life (QoL) of the general adult population. An online survey consisting of sociodemographic questions, questions related to COVID-19 and earthquake stressors, the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQoL)-BREF scale, Impact of Event Scale, and Patient Health Questionnaire 4 was completed by 220 men and 898 women (mean age, 35.1 ± 12.3 years). In a series of regressions, we examined the association among five blocks of predictors and six dependent QoL variables, four domain scores, and two global scores. Both WHOQoL-BREF global and domain scores after the prolonged stress were significantly predicted by anxiety, depression, stress symptoms, and sociodemographic characteristics. COVID-19-related stressors predicted significantly physical and psychological health, social relationships, and environmental QoL, whereas earthquake-related stressors predicted health satisfaction, physical and psychological health, and environmental QoL.

前三波COVID-19大流行和克罗地亚两次地震期间的生活质量。

摘要:在一项横断面研究中，我们测量了克罗地亚同一时期发生的前三次COVID-19大流行波和两次地震对普通成年人生活质量(QoL)的影响。220名男性和898名女性(平均年龄35.1±12.3岁)完成了一项在线调查，包括社会人口学问题、与COVID-19和地震应激源相关的问题、世界卫生组织生活质量(WHOQoL)-BREF量表、事件影响量表和患者健康问卷4。在一系列回归中，我们检查了五个预测因子块和六个依赖的生活质量变量，四个领域得分和两个全局得分之间的关联。焦虑、抑郁、压力症状和社会人口学特征显著预测长时间应激后WHOQoL-BREF整体和域得分。新冠肺炎相关压力源对身心健康、社会关系和环境生活质量的预测显著，地震相关压力源对健康满意度、身心健康和环境生活质量的预测显著。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease publishes peer-reviewed articles containing new data or ways of reorganizing established knowledge relevant to understanding and modifying human behavior, especially that defined as impaired or diseased, and the context, applications and effects of that knowledge. Our policy is summarized by the slogan, "Behavioral science for clinical practice." We consider articles that include at least one behavioral variable, clear definition of study populations, and replicable research designs. Authors should use the active voice and first person whenever possible.
