本研究探讨了医疗保健人员和一般人群的心理健康结果以及社会经济地位的作用。尼日利亚的884名居民（包括382名医疗保健人员和502名普通居民，年龄在18至78岁之间（M = 28.75，SD = 8.17））对一项在线调查进行了回答，该调查采用了事件影响量表修订版（IES-R）、广泛性焦虑症（GAD-7）、患者健康问卷（PHQ-9）和抑郁严重程度指数。使用SPSS v.25对收集的数据进行统计分析。结果显示，抑郁症状的患病率有显着差异（χ2 = 14.26; df = 4; P < 0.01），失眠症状（χ2 = 40.21; df = 3; P < 0.01），创伤后应激症状（χ2 = 08.34; df = 3; p < 0.05）和临床焦虑症状（χ2 = 06.71; df = 1; p < 0.05），医务人员报告的患病率更高。此外，社会经济地位显著影响抑郁症状的患病率（χ2 = 04.5; df = 4; p < 0.05）。该研究得出的结论是，在COVID-19危机期间，尼日利亚人心理健康状况不佳的普遍性令人担忧。此外，公民的社会经济地位对抑郁症状有严重影响。该研究建议政府和利益相关者应关注有利于远程精神卫生服务的政策和适当的缓解措施，以缓解COVID-19对居民的心理经济影响。此外，应考虑为医护人员提供更佳薪酬及其他福利，以维持他们在目前及未来疫情期间的健康。
This study examines the mental health outcomes among the healthcare personnel and the general population and the role of socioeconomic status. Eight hundred and eighty-four (884) residents in Nigeria comprising 382 healthcare personnel and 502 general residents aged between 18 to 78 years (M = 28.75, SD = 8.17) responded to an online survey with measures of Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ–9), and Insomnia Severity Index. Collected data were subjected to statistical analysis using the SPSS v.25. Results revealed significant difference in the prevalence of depressive symptoms (χ2 = 14.26; df = 4; p < 0.01), insomnia symptoms (χ2 = 40.21; df = 3; p < 0.01), posttraumatic stress symptoms (χ2 = 08.34; df = 3; p < 0.05), and clinical anxiety symptoms (χ2 = 06.71; df = 1; p < 0.05) among healthcare personnel and the general population, with a higher prevalence reported by the healthcare personnel. Further, socioeconomic status significantly influences prevalence of depressive symptoms (χ2 = 04.5; df = 4; p < 0.05). The study concluded that the prevalence of poor mental health outcomes during the COVID-19 crisis among Nigerians is worrisome. Also, the socioeconomic status of the citizens has serious implications on depressive symptoms. The study recommends that the government and stakeholders should pay attention to policy that will favor tele-mental health services and adequate palliative measures to cushion the psycho-economic impacts of COVID-19 on residents. Also, healthcare workers should be considered for better remuneration and other welfare benefits to sustain their well-being during the present and future pandemic.
