在大流行的头几个月，麦加地区报告的COVID-19病例数在沙特阿拉伯所有地区中最高。这些报告的病例中有80%以上是非沙特居民。在本研究中，我们评估了麦加地区非沙特居民对COVID-19的感知威胁和心理影响。这是使用标准化自我报告问卷收集的数据的横断面分析。这项研究共包括292名外籍人士，其中大多数是非阿拉伯语人士。自我报告的抑郁症患病率接近40%，焦虑占32%，压力占43%。调查结果表明，不同种族背景的外籍人士的心理症状患病率存在差异。此外，工作环境和感知威胁是心理障碍的强预测因子。这表明，在麦加地区，非沙特人对COVID-19的威胁和心理负担的感知是巨大的。未来的研究应调查疫情对不同族裔群体的心理影响差异背后的原因。
In the first few months of the pandemic, Makkah region reported the highest number of COVID-19 cases among all regions in Saudi Arabia. More than 80% of these reported cases were non-Saudi residents. In this study, we evaluated the perceived threat from and psychological impact of COVID-19 among non-Saudi residents of Makkah region. This was a cross-sectional analysis of data collected using a standardized self-report questionnaire. A total of 292 expatriates were included in the study, the majority of whom were non-Arabic speakers. The prevalence of self-reported depression was nearly 40%, anxiety was 32%, and stress was 43%. The findings indicated variability in the prevalence of psychological symptoms among expatriates from different ethnic backgrounds. Additionally, work environment and perceived threat were strong predictors of psychological disorders. This suggested that the perceived threat from and psychological burden of COVID-19 among non-Saudis in Makkah region is substantial. Future research should investigate the reasons behind these variations in the psychological impact of the pandemic among different ethnic groups.
