新型冠状病毒COVID-19导致世卫组织警告潜在破坏性行为的风险。然而，适应不良行为与心理健康之间的关联尚未得到实证评估。一项对来自英国的1293名参与者进行的全国性研究记录了地点，潜在的医疗条件和不推荐的行为沿着心理困扰。心理压力的增加与生活在伦敦、潜在的医疗条件和不推荐的行为有关。研究结果表明，医疗当局应该解决心理困扰和采用潜在的适应不良行为之间的关联。
The novel Coronavirus COVID-19 has led the WHO to warn of the risk of potentially disruptive behaviors. However, the association between maladaptive actions and mental health has not been empirically assessed. A national study of 1293 participants from the UK recorded location, underlying medical conditions and non-recommended behaviors along with psychological distress. Elevated psychological distress was associated with living in London, underlying medical conditions and practicing non-recommended behaviors. Findings suggest that medical authorities should address the association between psychological distress and adoption of potentially maladaptive behaviors.
