ABSTRACT

This study aimed to explore which age group out of the patients in quarantine wards with novel coronavirus pneumonia is the most susceptible to anxiety. The data of 32 Covid-19 patients isolated in the quarantine wards of the second Infectious Diseases Department of Baoding Hospital and 71 Covid-19 patients in Tangshan City Infectious Disease Hospital from January 24^th to March 5^th, 2020, a total of 103 patients, were analyzed. Among these patients, 97 isolated patients were scored with a self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score seven days after quarantine, and the correlation between age and score was analyzed. These 97 isolated patients were then divided into three groups according to age: group A (up to 35 years old), group B (36–60 years), and group C (over 60 years). One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the scores among groups. The Q-test was used for pairwise comparison.P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.There was a negative correlation between age and SAS score in isolated Covid-19 patients, and the differences in the score among groups were statistically significant. Patients under 35 years old were more prone to anxiety when they were isolated for seven days. Isolated patients aged up to 35 years old need more attention from quarantine medical staff, communication should be strengthened, and psychological intervention from psychotherapists should be given if necessary.

摘要

本研究旨在探讨在隔离病房的新型冠状病毒肺炎患者中，哪个年龄段的患者最容易产生焦虑。^1月24日至3月5^日在保定医院第二感染科隔离病房隔离的32名Covid-19患者和唐山市传染病医院71名Covid-19患者的数据, 2020 年，共分析了 103 名患者。在这些患者中，97例隔离患者在隔离7天后采用焦虑自评量表（SAS）评分，并分析年龄与评分的相关性。然后将这 97 名隔离患者按年龄分为三组：A 组（最高 35 岁）、B 组（36-60 岁）和 C 组（60 岁以上）。单因素方差分析用于比较各组之间的分数。两两比较采用Q检验。P < 0.05为有统计学意义。孤立的Covid-19患者年龄与SAS评分呈负相关，组间评分差异有统计学意义。35岁以下的患者在隔离7天后更容易出现焦虑。
