英国政府在COVID-19大流行期间实施的限制措施导致心理健康状况恶化，尤其是年轻人、妇女、患有慢性疾病的人和幼儿的父母。研究对少数民族的影响的研究报告了不一致的结果。本文描述了大流行期间来自大量高度种族多样性人群的母亲的心理健康经历，使用了对在布拉德福德和伦敦（陶尔哈姆雷特和纽汉）完成的三项COVID-19研究的现有数据的二次分析。共有2807名母亲参加了这项研究，其中44%为白色英国人，23%为亚洲人/亚洲英属巴基斯坦人，8%为其他白色人，7%为亚洲人/亚洲英属孟加拉人。我们发现，在大流行期间，28%的母亲经历了临床上重要的抑郁症状和21%的焦虑症状。在未调整的分析中，来自其他白色和亚洲/亚洲英国孟加拉国背景的母亲出现症状的几率更高，而来自亚洲/亚洲英国印度背景的母亲出现症状的可能性最小。一旦控制了孤独、社会支持和经济不安全感，不同种族的抑郁和焦虑就没有统计学上的显著差异。大流行期间出现的心理健康问题可能对公共卫生产生长期影响。政策制定者和决策者必须了解财务不安全、孤独和缺乏社会支持对母亲心理健康的高风险，并认识到一些族裔群体更有可能经历这些问题，因此更容易因此而精神健康状况不佳。
Restrictions implemented by the UK Government during the COVID-19 pandemic have served to worsen mental health outcomes, particularly amongst younger adults, women, those living with chronic health conditions, and parents of young children. Studies looking at the impact for ethnic minorities have reported inconsistent findings. This paper describes the mental health experiences of mothers from a large and highly ethnically diverse population during the pandemic, using secondary analysis of existing data from three COVID-19 research studies completed in Bradford and London (Tower Hamlets and Newham). A total of 2807 mothers participated in this study with 44% White British, 23% Asian/Asian British Pakistani, 8% Other White and 7% Asian/Asian British Bangladeshi backgrounds. We found that 28% of mothers experienced clinically important depressive symptoms and 21% anxiety symptoms during the pandemic. In unadjusted analyses, mothers from White Other, and Asian/Asian British Bangladeshi backgrounds had higher odds of experiencing symptoms, whilst mothers from Asian/Asian British Indian backgrounds were the least likely to experience symptoms. Once loneliness, social support and financial insecurity were controlled for, there were no statistically significant differences in depression and anxiety by ethnicity. Mental health problems experienced during the pandemic may have longer term consequences for public health. Policy and decision makers must have an understanding of the high risk of financial insecurity, loneliness and a lack of social support on mother’s mental health, and also recognise that some ethnic groups are far more likely to experience these issues and are, therefore, more vulnerable to poor mental health as a consequence.
