在当前的新冠肺炎大流行期间，错误信息是一个重大挑战，引发了几个社会和心理问题。这篇文章强调了盛行的错误信息，认为这是一场包含恶作剧、神话和谣言的爆发。与传统媒体相比，网络媒体平台为虚假信息提供了更广泛的便利。为了进一步肯定这一伦理问题，研究人员引用了相关研究，证明了新媒体在错误信息中的作用及其潜在后果。除了其他重大的心理社会影响，如仇外心理、心理困扰、同性恋者和变性者权利侵犯、基于性别的暴力，错误信息正在破坏医务人员的心理健康，以及他们为缓解新冠肺炎影响所做的努力。鉴于错误信息的不良后果，本文将其作为当前疫情爆发期间的一个巨大的伦理挑战来处理。因此，研究人员提出了相关建议，以评估错误信息来源，并减轻在危机期间因错误信息而产生的心理社会影响。这些措施包括成立由心理学家、精神病学家和训练有素的辅助医疗人员组成的精神健康团队；定期迅速传播真实和最新的新冠肺炎情况报告；建立帮助热线服务；以及认识到更广泛的个人需求。所有卫生当局都应该明确表示，他们正在倾听和回应公众的关切。要反击新冠肺炎的虚假信息，还需要付出很大努力。
During the current COVID-19 pandemic, misinformation is a major challenge, raising several social and psychological concerns. This article highlights the prevailing misinformation as an outbreak containing hoaxes, myths, and rumours. In comparison to traditional media, online media platforms facilitate misinformation even more widely. To further affirm this ethical concern, the researchers cite relevant studies demonstrating the role of new media in misinformation and its potential consequences. Besides other significant psychosocial impacts, such as xenophobia, psychological distress, LGBT rights violation, gender-based violence, misinformation is undermining healthcare workers’ psychological health and their efforts to mitigate the impact of COVID-19. In view of the adverse consequences of misinformation, this article addresses it as a massive ethical challenge during the current outbreak. Thus, the researchers make relevant suggestions to evaluate misinformation sources and mitigate the psychosocial impacts attributed to misinformation during crises. They include forming mental health teams comprising of psychologists, psychiatrists, and trained paramedical staff; rapid dissemination of authentic and updated COVID-19 situation reports regularly; establishing helpline services; and recognizing a broader range of personal needs. All health authorities should make clear that they are listening and responding to public concerns. Much effort is needed to counteract COVID-19 misinformation.
