ABSTRACT

This study quantified and described COVID-19-related concerns and associated mental health symptom severity among a cohort of adults consecutively enrolled in a telebehavioral therapy program during the COVID-19 pandemic (N = 2,588). Demographic and clinical data were collected by standardized therapist-led interviews. COVID-19 concerns were abstracted from clinical notes. Anxious feelings (14.5%), work-related stressors (10.2%), and isolation (10.1%) were the most prevalent concerns. COVID-19 concern was associated with significantly higher stress symptom scores. These data add to our understanding of the links between pandemic-related stressors and mental health among individuals engaged in telebehavioral health care.

摘要

本研究量化并描述了在 COVID-19 大流行期间连续参加远程行为治疗计划的一组成年人中与 COVID-19 相关的问题和相关的心理健康症状严重程度（N = 2,588）。通过标准化的治疗师主导的访谈收集人口统计学和临床​​数据。COVID-19 问题是从临床记录中提取的。焦虑情绪 (14.5%)、与工作相关的压力源 (10.2%) 和孤立 (10.1%) 是最普遍的担忧。COVID-19 的担忧与显着更高的压力症状评分相关。这些数据增加了我们对大流行相关压力源与从事远程行为医疗保健的个人的心理健康之间联系的理解。
