COVID-19疫情已袭击全球多个国家。约旦已在全国范围内实施严格的控制措施，以阻止病毒传播，其中一项措施是关闭大学并转向远程教学。这一流行病的影响可能超出身体伤害的风险，而会产生严重的心理后果。我们的研究旨在评估约旦大学教师在COVID-19相关隔离和控制措施中的1）心理状况，2）远程教学的挑战，以及3）应对活动和与流行病相关的担忧。我们使用匿名在线调查进行了一项横断面研究。心理困扰的测量是使用经验证的阿拉伯语版凯斯勒苦恼量表（K10）获得的。收集的其他资料包括社会人口概况、处理痛苦的方法、参加远程教学的动机、远程教学的挑战以及在这一流行病期间最令人担忧的问题。三百八十二名大学教师返回完成调查。K10的结果显示，31.4%的受访者有严重的痛苦，38.2%有轻度至中度的痛苦。尽管性别与痛苦的严重程度无关，但年龄具有弱的负相关性（Rho =-0.19，P < 0.0001）。有趣的是，大多数教师对远程教学有中等到高度的动机。参与家庭是最多报告的自我应对活动。超过一半的参与者最担心和害怕SARS-CoV-2感染。总而言之，大学教师在约旦对抗COVID-19的预防性国家措施实施期间表现出不同程度的心理困扰和挑战。
The COVID-19 pandemic has struck many countries globally. Jordan has implemented strict nationwide control measures to halt the viral spread, one of which was the closure of universities and shifting to remote teaching. The impact of this pandemic could extend beyond the risk of physical harm to substantial psychological consequences. Our study aimed at assessing 1) psychological status, 2) challenges of distance teaching, and 3) coping activities and pandemic-related concerns among university teachers in Jordan in the midst of COVID-19–related quarantine and control measures. We conducted a cross-sectional study using an anonymous online survey. The measure of psychological distress was obtained using a validated Arabic version of the Kessler Distress Scale (K10). Other information collected included sociodemographic profile, methods used to handle distress, motivation to participate in distance teaching, and challenges of distance teaching as well as the most worrisome issues during this pandemic. Three hundred eighty-two university teachers returned completed surveys. Results of K10 showed that 31.4% of respondents had severe distress and 38.2% had mild to moderate distress. Whereas gender was not associated with distress severity, age had a weak negative correlation (Rho = −0.19, P < 0.0001). Interestingly, most teachers had moderate to high motivation for distance teaching. Engagement with family was the most reported self-coping activity. More than half of the participants were most concerned and fearful about SARS-CoV-2 infection. In conclusion, university teachers have shown to exhibit various levels of psychological distress and challenges during the implementation of precautionary national measures in the battle against COVID-19 in Jordan.
