Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 Pandemic, which started to be seen in Northern Cyprus (NC) as of March 2020, has affected the psychological mood of many people in our country as well as all over the world.

Objectives: It was aimed to evaluate the post-illness anxiety and depression levels of people who were diagnosed with COVID-19 positive, completed the quarantine period and then received a negative PCR report.

Methods: Through the questionnaire used in the study carried out between 1-30 April 2021, the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants and their personal experiences about COVID-19 were questioned and they were asked to answer the questions about the hospital anxiety and depression (HAD) scale.

Results: The average score of the participants (n=120) in the HAD scale was determined as 11.66±5.90. According to the average scores of the scale, the anxiety and depression levels of the patients fall into the category of '11 and above abnormal'. The patients' general average scores of anxieties were 6.20±3.48 (normal) and depression was 5.46±3.55 (normal).

Conclusion: Although it was determined that the HAD scores of the individuals from NC infected with COVID-19 were not high, most of them needed psychological support as they stated in their own statements.

背景:2020年3月开始在北塞浦路斯(NC)出现的COVID-19大流行影响了我国和全世界许多人的心理情绪:旨在评估被确诊为 COVID-19 阳性、完成隔离期后又收到阴性 PCR 报告的人患病后的焦虑和抑郁程度:通过 2021 年 4 月 1 日至 30 日期间开展的研究中使用的调查问卷,询问了参与者的社会人口学特征及其有关 COVID-19 的个人经历,并要求他们回答有关医院焦虑和抑郁量表(HAD)的问题:参与者(n=120)在医院焦虑和抑郁量表中的平均得分为(11.66±5.90)分。根据该量表的平均得分,患者的焦虑和抑郁水平属于 "11 分及以上异常"。患者焦虑的总平均分为 6.20±3.48(正常),抑郁的总平均分为 5.46±3.55(正常):结论:虽然来自北卡罗来纳州的 COVID-19 感染者的 HAD 分数并不高,但正如他们在自己的陈述中所述,他们中的大多数人都需要心理支持。
