自2019年12月以来，中国受到2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的严重影响。我们旨在评估疫情期间中国公众的心理健康负担，并探讨潜在的影响因素。通过基于网络的横断面调查，我们收集了 7,236 名自选志愿者的数据，对人口信息、COVID-19 相关知识、广泛性焦虑症 (GAD)、抑郁症状和睡眠质量进行了评估。公众广泛性焦虑症、抑郁症状和睡眠质量的总体患病率分别为35.1%、20.1%和18.2%。年轻人报告的广泛性焦虑症和抑郁症状的患病率明显高于老年人。与其他职业群体相比，医护人员睡眠质量更容易较差。多变量逻辑回归显示，年龄（< 35 岁）和关注 COVID-19 的时间（每天 >= 3 小时）与广泛性焦虑症相关，医护人员睡眠质量差的风险很高。我们的研究确定了 COVID-19 爆发期间公众的主要心理健康负担。年轻人、花太多时间思考疫情的人以及医护人员患精神疾病的风险很高。作为全球防范工作的一部分，对疫情爆发造成的心理后果的持续监测应该成为常规。
China has been severely affected by Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19) since December, 2019. We aimed to assess the mental health burden of Chinese public during the outbreak, and to explore the potential influence factors. Using a web-based cross-sectional survey, we collected data from 7,236 self-selected volunteers assessed with demographic information, COVID-19 related knowledge, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), depressive symptoms, and sleep quality. The overall prevalence of GAD, depressive symptoms, and sleep quality of the public were 35.1%, 20.1%, and 18.2%, respectively. Younger people reported a significantly higher prevalence of GAD and depressive symptoms than older people. Compared with other occupational group, healthcare workers were more likely to have poor sleep quality. Multivariate logistic regression showed that age (< 35 years) and time spent focusing on the COVID-19 (>= 3 hours per day) were associated with GAD, and healthcare workers were at high risk for poor sleep quality. Our study identified a major mental health burden of the public during the COVID-19 outbreak. Younger people, people spending too much time thinking about the outbreak, and healthcare workers were at high risk of mental illness. Continuous surveillance of the psychological consequences for outbreaks should become routine as part of preparedness efforts worldwide.
