Abstract

The aim was to identify the prevalence and correlates of coronavirus anxiety in the nationally representative adult population in Germany (N = 3,075) via an online survey conducted in August/September 2021. The Coronavirus Anxiety Scale was used to quantify coronavirus anxiety. In sum, 71.2% of the respondents did not report coronavirus anxiety at all (i.e., a score of zero). The average score for coronavirus anxiety was 1.3 (SD: 2.9, ranging from 0 to 20). Several correlates were identified via two-part models. Knowledge about the correlates of coronavirus anxiety may assist in providing targeted support to individuals at risk of high anxiety levels.

摘要

目的是 通过 2021 年 8 月/9 月进行的在线调查，确定德国具有全国代表性的成年人口（ N = 3,075）中冠状病毒焦虑的患病率和相关性。冠状病毒焦虑量表用于量化冠状病毒焦虑。总之，71.2% 的受访者根本没有报告冠状病毒焦虑症（即得分为零）。冠状病毒焦虑的平均得分为 1.3（SD：2.9，范围从 0 到 20）。通过两部分模型确定了几个相关性。有关冠状病毒焦虑相关因素的知识可能有助于为处于高焦虑水平风险中的个人提供有针对性的支持。
