新奇的冠状病毒病2019(新冠肺炎)引发了心理痛苦，改变了人类的生活方式。然而，很少有研究考察不同人群的心理困扰和保护行为。因此，本研究旨在评估香港一般民众、台湾医护人员及台湾门诊病人的心理困扰、防护行为，以及心理困扰与防护行为的潜在预测因子。研究采用横断面设计，招募了来自香港和台湾的参与者。电话访问为香港参与者(n=1,067；30.2%男性参与者)；在线调查为台湾医护人员(n=500，8.0%男性参与者)和台湾门诊患者(n=192，32.8%男性参与者)。所有受试者都完成了关于心理困扰和保护行为的问题。采用多元线性回归和多元Logistic回归分别探讨心理困扰和保护行为的潜在预测因素。香港参与者的心理痛苦程度显著低于台湾参与者[医护人员的平均(SD)=0.16(0.39)比0.47(0.59)；门诊患者的平均(SD)=0.46(0.65)；p<；0.001]。香港参与者(51.7%)和台湾门诊患者对新冠肺炎表现出恐惧的人数(52.0%)高于台湾医疗服务提供者(40.8%；p<；0.001)。此外，香港参与者的防护行为最多，其次是台湾医疗服务提供者和台湾门诊患者(p<；0.001)。此外，作为女性，对新冠肺炎的恐惧和对个人储蓄的担忧通常与保护性行为有关。尽管香港人对新冠肺炎的严重程度和对新冠肺炎的恐惧程度更高，但与台湾其他群体相比，香港普通民众经历的心理社会痛苦较少，对保护行为的遵从性更高。
The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused psychological distress and changed human living styles. However, rare studies have examined the psychological distress and protective behaviors across different populations. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess psychological distress, protective behaviors, and potential predictors of psychological distress and protective behaviors across the Hong Kong general population, Taiwan healthcare workers, and Taiwan outpatients. A cross-sectional design was used to recruit participants from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Telephone interviews were carried out for Hong Kong participants (n = 1,067; 30.2% male participants); online surveys were used for Taiwan healthcare workers (n = 500; 8.0% male participants) and Taiwan outpatients (n = 192; 32.8% male participants). All the participants completed questions on psychological distress and protective behaviors. Multiple linear regressions and multivariable logistic regressions were employed to explore the potential predictors of psychological distress and protective behaviors, respectively. Hong Kong participants had significantly lower levels of psychological distress than Taiwan participants [mean (SD) = 0.16 (0.39) vs. 0.47 (0.59) in healthcare workers and 0.46 (0.65) in outpatients; p < 0.001]. Hong Kong participants (51.7%) and Taiwan outpatients had more people showing fear of COVID-19 (52.0%) than Taiwan healthcare providers (40.8%; p < 0.001). Moreover, Hong Kong participants engaged the most in protective behaviors, followed by Taiwan healthcare providers and Taiwan outpatients (p < 0.001). Moreover, being a female, fear of COVID-19 and worry about personal savings were associated with protective behaviors in general. Despite the greater COVID-19 severity and fear of COVID-19 in Hong Kong, the general population in Hong Kong experienced less psychosocial distress with higher compliance to protective behaviors than the other groups in Taiwan.
