Abstract

This study evaluated COVID-19-related intrusive thoughts and associated ritualistic behaviors (CITRB). From March to May 2020, 1,118 Chinese high school students, college students, psychiatric outpatients, and community members completed a survey assessing CITRB, generalized anxiety, depression, somatization, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and pandemic-related disruptions. Overall, participants reported mild to moderate CITRB, although certain thoughts/behaviors were more frequently endorsed, such as repeatedly telling others to take precautions against COVID-19 and checking COVID-19-related news. Being male, younger, a health-care worker, or in isolation/quarantine was associated with CITRB severity in community members. Obsessive-compulsive symptom severity, depression, somatic symptoms, and anxiety were associated with CITRB severity, although only obsessive-compulsive symptoms were uniquely associated with CITRB. This study provided evidence for the construct of CITRB, which may help mental health providers identify the nature and sources of COVID-19-related distress for some individuals as well as serve as a framework for evaluating obsessive-compulsive symptoms specific to large-scale crises.

与COVID-19相关的侵入性思想和相关的仪式性行为。

本研究评估了与COVID-19相关的侵入性思维和相关的仪式行为（CITRB）。2020年3月至5月，1118名中国高中生、大学生、精神科门诊患者和社区成员完成了一项调查，评估了CITRB、广泛性焦虑、抑郁、躯体化、强迫症状和疫情相关干扰。总体而言，参与者报告了轻度至中度的CITRB，尽管某些想法/行为更经常得到认可，例如反复告诉他人采取预防新冠肺炎的措施和查看新冠肺炎相关新闻。男性、年轻人、医护人员或处于隔离/检疫状态与社区成员CITRB的严重程度有关。强迫症状的严重程度、抑郁、躯体症状和焦虑与CITRB的严重程度相关，尽管只有强迫症状与CITRB唯一相关。这项研究为CITRB的构建提供了证据，这可能有助于心理健康提供者识别一些人与COVID-19相关的痛苦的性质和来源，并作为评估大规模危机特有的强迫症状的框架。
