对新型冠状病毒2019（COVID-19）的恐惧可能会导致不同人群的心理健康问题。此外，相信COVID-19信息和预防COVID-19感染行为是与COVID-19恐惧相关的相关结构。因此，本研究验证了三种评估心理疾病患者与COVID-19相关的恐惧、信念和预防行为的工具。此外，三个结构之间的关系进行了检查。患有精神疾病的个体（N = 400; 178名女性;平均年龄= 46.91岁）完成了对COVID-19的恐惧量表（FCV-19 S），相信COVID-19信息量表（BCIS），预防COVID-19感染行为量表（PCIBS）和抑郁焦虑压力量表-21（DASS-21）。FCV-19 S、BCIS和PCIBS表现出单因素结构，具有令人满意的拟合指数。此外，相信COVID-19信息与对COVID-19的恐惧正相关且显著，对COVID-19的恐惧与预防行为负相关且显著，与心理困扰正相关且显著。FCV-19 S、BCIS和PCIBS可以帮助医疗保健提供者评估精神疾病患者的COVID-19相关信息。因此，可以设计相关的方案来帮助精神疾病患者度过危机时期。
Fear of novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) may result in psychological health problems among different populations. Moreover, believing COVID-19 information and preventive COVID-19 infection behaviors are relevant constructs associated with fear of COVID-19. Therefore, the present study validated three instruments assessing fear, beliefs, and preventive behaviors related to COVID-19 among individuals with mental illness. Moreover, relationships between the three constructs were examined. Individuals with mental illness (N = 400; 178 females; mean age = 46.91 years) completed the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), Believing COVID-19 Information Scale (BCIS), Preventive COVID-19 Infection Behaviors Scale (PCIBS), and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). The FCV-19S, BCIS, and PCIBS demonstrated a single-factor structure with satisfactory fit indices. Moreover, believing COVID-19 information positively and significantly associated with fear of COVID-19, and fear of COVID-19 negatively and significantly associated with preventive behaviors and positively and significantly associated with psychological distress. The FCV-19S, BCIS, and PCIBS may assist healthcare providers in assessing COVID-19-related information among individuals with mental illness. Consequently, relevant programs may be designed to help individuals with mental illness going through the period of crisis.
