摘要

新冠肺炎大流行摧毁了世界各地的人民和国家。它影响了人类生活的方方面面。尽管疫苗的发现和广泛的免疫接种运动只是一个小小的安慰,但其后果可能会持续很长一段时间。本研究探讨了新冠肺炎大流行对阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)的心理影响。对78名外籍居民进行了一项在线调查。尽管大多数受访者认可并高度评价阿联酋政府为支持和应对疫情所采取的措施,但据报道,他们面临着巨大的压力和不确定性。研究发现,与阿拉伯或W严厉的居民相比,亚裔社区更担心疫情的负面后果。老年人的担忧也更加强烈。对健康后果的焦虑、对失业的恐惧以及国际旅行的限制是最令人担忧的问题。即使有足够的政府系统来预防和控制疫情,冠状病毒带来的困难仍在继续破坏个人的心理健康。

Psychological impact of COVID-19 pandemic among expatriate residents in the UAE
The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated people and countries around the world. It has affected every aspect of human life. Despite the discovery of vaccines and widespread immunization drive which is a minor consolation, the consequences of it are likely to prevail for extended periods of time. This study explored the psychological impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic within the United Arab Emirates (UAE). An online survey was carried out among a sample of 78 expatriate residents. While most of the respondents recognized and highly valued the measures taken by the UAE government to support and deal with the pandemic, intense stress and uncertainty was reported. It was found that the Asian community was more anxious concerning the negative consequences of the pandemic than Arab or W stern residents. The worry among older people was also found to be more intense. Anxiety over health consequences, fear of job loss, and constraints for international travels were the most overwhelming concerns. The difficulties that the coronavirus has presented continue to devastate the psychological wellbeing of individuals even where an adequate governmental system for prevention and controlling the pandemic is in place.
