This study assesses the psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical staff and the general population in Wuhan and its surrounding areas. Results show that the outbreak significantly impacted individuals, with higher stress and trauma scores observed among medical staff compared to the general population. However, there was no significant difference in depression scores. A large proportion of participants expressed the need for psychological counseling, particularly among medical staff.
To assess the psychological effects of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on medical staff and the general public. During the outbreak of COVID-19, an internet-based questionnaire included The Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), and Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) was used to assess the impact of the pandemic situation on the mental health of medical staff and general population in Wuhan and its surrounding areas. Among the 1493 questionnaires completed, 827 (55.39%) of these were men, and 422 (28.27%) of these were medical personnel. The results suggest that the outbreak of COVID-19 has affected individuals significantly, the degree of which is related to age, sex, occupation and mental illness. There was a significant difference in PSS-10 and IES-R scores between the medical staff and the general population. The medical staff showed higher PSS-10 scores (16.813 +/- 4.87) and IES-R scores (22.40 +/- 12.12) compared to members of the general population PSS-10 (14.80 +/- 5.60) and IES-R scores (17.89 +/- 13.08). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the SDS scores of medical staff (44.52 +/- 12.36) and the general public (43.08 +/- 11.42). In terms of the need for psychological assistance, 50.97% of interviewees responded that they needed psychological counseling, of which medical staff accounted for 65.87% and non-medical staff accounted for 45.10%. During the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, great attention should be paid to the mental health of the population, especially medical staff, and measures such as psychological intervention should be actively carried out for reducing the psychosocial effects.
