ABSTRACT

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has imposed threats on both physical and mental health since its outbreak. This study aimed to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health among a representative sample of home-quarantined Bangladeshi adults. A cross-sectional design was used with an online survey completed by a convenience sample recruited via social media. A total of 1,427 respondents were recruited, and their mental health was assessed by the DASS-21 measure. The prevalence of anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms was 33.7% and 57.9%, respectively, and 59.7% reported mild to extremely severe levels of stress. Perceptions that the pandemic disrupted life events, affected mental health, jobs, the economy and education, predictions of a worsening situation, and uncertainty of the health care system capacities were significantly associated with poor mental health outcomes. Multivariate logistic regressions showed that sociodemographic factors and perceptions of COVID-19 significantly predict mental health outcomes. These findings warrant the consideration of easily accessible low-intensity mental health interventions during and beyond this pandemic.

COVID-19 大流行对孟加拉国成年人心理健康的影响:一项全国性横断面研究

摘要

自爆发以来,最近的 COVID-19 大流行已对身心健康构成威胁。本研究旨在探讨 COVID-19 大流行对在家隔离的孟加拉国成年人的代表性样本中的心理健康的影响。横断面设计与通过社交媒体招募的便利样本完成的在线调查一起使用。共招募了 1,427 名受访者,并通过 DASS-21 措施评估了他们的心理健康状况。焦虑症状和抑郁症状的患病率分别为 33.7% 和 57.9%,59.7% 的人报告有轻度至极重度的压力水平。认为大流行扰乱了生活事件,影响了心理健康、就业、经济和教育,预测情况会恶化,卫生保健系统能力的不确定性与不良的心理健康结果显着相关。多变量逻辑回归表明,社会人口因素和对 COVID-19 的看法可显着预测心理健康结果。这些发现值得考虑在大流行期间和之后容易获得的低强度心理健康干预措施。
