Abstract The worldwide outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) raises concerns of widespread panic and anxiety in individuals subjected to the real or perceived threat of the virus. Compared to general populations, patients who are institutionalized in a closed unit are also very vulnerable to COVID-19 infection and complications. This crisis touched on difficult issues of not only psychiatric care and ethics, but also psychological impacts to psychiatric care givers. In this Viewpoint, we address both physical and biopsychosocial aspects of this infection, as well as the psychoneuroimmunity of preventive strategies of healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, balanced nutrition, quality sleep and a strong connection with people. Social distancing and wearing masks might help us from pathogen exposure, yet such these measures also prevent us from expressing compassion and friendliness. Therefore, all forms of psychological support should be routinely implemented not only to consider psychological resilience but also to enhance psychoneuroimmunity against COVID-19.

使用心理神经免疫对抗 COVID-19

摘要 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 的全球爆发引起了人们对遭受病毒真实或感知威胁的个人普遍恐慌和焦虑的担忧。与一般人群相比，被收容在封闭病房中的患者也非常容易受到 COVID-19 感染和并发症的影响。这场危机不仅涉及精神科护理和伦理方面的难题，还涉及对精神科护理人员的心理影响。在这个观点中，我们解决了这种感染的身体和生物心理社会方面，以及健康生活方式、定期锻炼、均衡营养、优质睡眠和与人密切联系等预防策略的心理神经免疫。保持社交距离和戴口罩可能有助于我们避免接触病原体，然而，这些措施也使我们无法表达同情和友好。因此，应定期实施各种形式的心理支持，不仅要考虑心理弹性，还要增强对 COVID-19 的心理神经免疫。
