新型冠状病毒病(新冠肺炎)在世界范围内扰乱了人们的日常生活，但对大流行的影响和应对并不一致。许多国家迅速部署了实际距离令，以遏制新冠肺炎的传播；其他国家则没有。虽然社交疏远策略对于减少病毒的传播是必要的，但检查社交孤立的意外精神后果也很重要。我们研究了四个拥有不同公共卫生战略的国家(韩国、香港、法国和美国)的心理困扰，以确定可能导致精神疾病的共同和地区特有因素。2020年3月至6月，开展了一项关于人口统计学、一般健康、心理健康、孤独感和社交网络的在线调查。总体而言，更年轻的年龄、对COVID的更多关注和更多的孤独感预示着更糟糕的心理结果，尽管这些影响的程度在四个国家中并不一致。我们还观察到在心理痛苦方面的显著差异；拥有最严格封锁命令的香港，精神健康状况恶化最严重。为了解释大流行期间全球范围内心理痛苦的不同加剧，应该考虑社会动荡、经济不确定性和对正常生活的干扰。
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has resulted in the worldwide disruption of everyday life but the impact and response to the pandemic have not been uniform. Many countries rapidly deployed physical-distancing mandates to curb the spread of the COVID-19; others did not. Whilst social distancing strategies are necessary to reduce the transmission of the virus, it is also important to examine unintended psychiatric consequences of social isolation. We examined psychological distress in four countries with distinct public health strategies (South Korea, Hong Kong, France and the United States) to identify common and region-specific factors that may contribute to mental illness. From March to July June 2020, an online survey of demographics, general health, mental health, loneliness and social networks was conducted. Overall, younger age, greater concern for COVID, and increased loneliness predicted worse psychological outcome, although the magnitudes of the effects were not uniform among the four countries. We also observed notable differences in psychological distress; Hong Kong, with the strictest lockdown mandate, suffered the most drastic worsening of mental health outcome. To explain differential exacerbations of psychological distress around the globe during the pandemic, contributions of social unrest, economic uncertainty, and disruption to regular routine should be considered.
