香港出现首宗新冠肺炎确诊个案至今已有三个月，市民对疫情的严重程度有了更全面的了解。因此，现在是评估COVID-19对心理健康影响的时候了。目前以人群为基础的研究旨在评估香港人在COVID-19大流行期间的抑郁和焦虑。随机招募受访者，并要求他们完成一份结构化问卷，包括患者健康问卷-9 （PHQ-9）、广泛性焦虑障碍量表-7 （GAD-7）、全球变化量表评分和与COVID-19相关的项目。在参与研究的500名受访者中，19%患有抑郁症（PHQ-9得分>= 10），14%患有焦虑症（GAD得分>= 10）。此外，25.4%的人报告说，自大流行以来，他们的精神健康状况恶化了。多元logistic回归分析发现，没有经历2003年的SARS疫情、担心被COVID-19感染、因医用口罩不足而烦恼、因无法在家工作而烦恼，与心理健康状况较差有关。在大流行期间，应向公民提供心理支持，例如以家庭为基础的简短心理干预。
It has been three months since the first confirmed case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Hong Kong, and people now have a more complete picture of the extent of the pandemic. Therefore, it is time to evaluate the impacts of COVID-19 on mental health. The current population-based study aimed to evaluate the depression and anxiety of people in Hong Kong during the COVID-19 pandemic. Respondents were randomly recruited and asked to complete a structured questionnaire, including the patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), the generalized anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7), the global rating of change scale and items related to COVID-19. Of the 500 respondents included in the study, 19% had depression (PHQ-9 score >= 10) and 14% had anxiety (GAD score >= 10). In addition, 25.4% reported that their mental health had deteriorated since the pandemic. Multiple logistic regression analysis found that not experiencing the SARS outbreak in 2003, being worried about being infected by COVID-19, being bothered by having not enough surgical masks and being bothered by not being able to work from home were associated with a poorer mental health status. Psychological support, such as brief, home-based psychological interventions, should be provided to citizens during the pandemic.
