摘要

背景：COVID-19 感染对个人的精神和社会造成了多方面的影响。限制、对感染的恐惧和对未来的焦虑给人们造成了巨大的心理负担。本研究旨在调查 COVID-19 大流行对个人心理健康和心理功能的显著负面影响：方法：我们对 557 名参与者进行了 42 个问题的问卷调查，其中包括在 2021 年 12 月至 2022 年 5 月期间向塞尔丘克大学医学院附属医院 COVID-19 疫苗接种单位申请接种疫苗的 350 名 18 岁以上的人，以及同时申请在线调查的 207 人。研究人员使用心理压力和职业倦怠量表对参与者因 COVID-19 疫情而受到的心理影响进行了调查。根据恐惧和焦虑分维度调查了参与者人口特征的差异：根据心理压力量表，性别、COVID-19 疫苗接种情况、教育程度和居住地均有显著性差异。根据职业倦怠量表，性别、婚姻状况、是否患有慢性疾病、COVID-19 后测状况、职业和收入状况均有显著性差异：局限性：参与者报告的焦虑、恐惧和压力水平可能与心理健康专业人员的客观评估不一致。大部分参与者为公共部门雇员和学生，因此有关失业焦虑的结果不能一概而论。在研究范围内，没有收集到关于参与者过去是否患有精神疾病的信息：很明显，压力和精神障碍在对病原体的传染性和致命性有较高认识的人中更为常见，尤其是在流行病时期。我们认为，这项研究将有助于规划干预措施，以缓解未来流行病期间个人的心理健康问题。

Psychological and Burnout Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Individuals

Background

COVID-19 infection has affected individuals mentally and socially in many areas. Restrictions, fear of infection, and anxiety about the future have created a great psychological burden on people. In this study, we aimed to investigate the significant negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals' mental health and psychological functioning.

Methods

A 42-question questionnaire was applied to a total of 557 participants, including 350 people over the age of 18 who applied to the COVID-19 Vaccination Unit of Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine Hospital between December 2021 and May 2022 to be vaccinated and 207 people with a simultaneous online survey application. The psychological effects experienced by the participants due to the COVID-19 epidemic were questioned with psychological distress and burnout scales. Differences in the demographic characteristics of the participants were investigated according to the fear and anxiety sub-dimension.

Results

According to the psychological distress scale, gender, COVID-19 vaccination status, educational status and place of residence were found to be significant. According to the burnout scale, gender, marital status, presence of chronic disease, COVID-19 posttest status, occupation and income status were found significant.

Limitations

The anxiety, fear, and stress levels reported by participants may not be consistent with an objective assessment by mental health professionals. The majority of participants were public sector employees and students, so the results regarding job loss anxiety cannot be generalized. No information was collected on participants' past medical psychiatric disorders within the scope of the study.

Conclusions

It is obvious that stress and psychiatric disorders are more common in individuals with high perception of infectiousness and lethality of the agent, especially during epidemic periods. We think that this study will be useful for planning interventions to alleviate mental health problems of individuals in future epidemics.
