ABSTRACT

Background and Objectives: This research aimed at investigating the psychological impact of national quarantine in Italy, and the psychosocial factors that are may influence this impact.

Methods: A convenience sample of 1569 people living in Italy responded to an online survey using virtual snowball sampling. The questionnaire included measures of mental health symptoms, well-being, worry about the epidemic of COVID-19, likelihood of infection, coping efficacy, trust in the institutional response to the epidemic of COVID-19, financial loss, perceived house size, and media exposure to COVID-19 outbreak.

Results: Gender (women), lower age, occupational status (employed), lower media exposure, higher worry, lower coping efficacy, lower trust in institutions, and negative attitudes toward quarantine measures predicted mental health symptoms. In addition, results showed that gender (men), higher age, socioeconomic status, occupational status (unemployed), higher coping efficacy and trust in institutions, and positive attitudes toward quarantine measures predicted well-being. The estimated prevalence of common mental disorders was 31.7% among men and 52.3% among women. The scores on well-being were significantly lower in the current study than in a previous validation study.

Conclusion: The results of the study provided both theory and practical implications in understanding mental health and its psychosocial predictors during national quarantine.

抽象的

背景与目的：本研究旨在调查意大利国家隔离所的心理影响，以及可能影响这种影响的社会心理因素。

方法：一个方便的意大利样本1569人的样本使用虚拟雪球样本对在线调查进行了回复。该问卷包括心理健康症状，幸福感，对COVID-19流行的担忧，感染的可能性，应对效果，对机构对COVID-19流行的信任，经济损失，可感知的房屋大小以及媒体暴露于COVID-19爆发。

结果：性别（妇女），年龄，职业状况（就业），较低的媒体曝光率，较高的担忧，较低的应对效果，对机构的信任度以及对隔离措施的消极态度预测了心理健康症状。此外，结果表明，性别（男人），较高的年龄，社会经济地位，职业状况（待业），较高的应对能力和对机构的信任以及对隔离措施的积极态度可以预测幸福。男性常见精神障碍的患病率估计为31.7％，女性为52.3％。在当前研究中，幸福感得分明显低于先前的验证研究。

结论：研究结果为理解国家检疫期间的心理健康及其心理社会预测因素提供了理论和实践意义。
