Abstract
Objective — To explore psychological characteristics and influencing factors of COVID-19 patients. Method — Choose 23 cases of COVID-19 patients treated by our hospital from January 24, 2020 to February 28, 2020 as the research object; use Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Symptom Check List-90 (SCL-90) and fear scale to investigate patients’ psychological conditions and to analyze the relationship between their gender, age, educational level, marital status, type of disease, whether there is family clustering infection, whether there is a psychological chronic disease and the patients’ anxiety, depression and fear. Results and conclusions — Fear, anxiety, depression and other bad psychological emotions are common in COVID-19 patients. The depression and fear emotions of middle-aged and elderly patients are more serious than that of young people (p<0.05, which is statistically significant); the ratio of bad emotions of married patients are more serious than that of unmarried patients (p<0.05, which is statistically significant); patients with family clustering infection have more severe bad mood than patients without family clustering infection (p<0.05, which is statistically significant); patients with chronic diseases have more serious anxiety than patients without chronic diseases (p<0.05, which is statistically significant).
