Abstract

Objective: To explore the quality of life and its related factors among the public during the COVID- 19 epidemic. Methods: A total of 2026 questionnaires were collected through wjx.cn (991 males, 1035 females). The12-item short form Health Survey (SF-12), Public Perception Survey of COVID-19 (COVID-PPS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) were implemented to evaluate the quality of life of the public, and multiple linear regression and structural equation model were used to analyze the related factors. Results: The median score of SF-12 was 65. 4(53. 9, 81. 1). According to the multiple linear regression, the SF-12 scores were positively associated with the scores of COVID-19 PSS, living in Northeastern China, being single and family per capital income more than 5000 yuan (β = 0. 05, 0. 04, 0. 04, 0. 06), and negatively associated with the scores of SAS and SDS, age of > 60 years, living in Central China, and with no formal education or primary education(β = -0. 31, -0. 30, -0. 08, -0. 04, -0. 07, -0. 04) . According to the structural equation model, COVID perception, scores of SAS and SDS were correlated with the SF-12 scores (λ= 0. 06, - 0. 33, - 0. 29). Conclusion: The quality of life of the public may be fairly good during COVID- 19. People who are over 60 years old, living in Central China, wi1h poor education background tend to have poorer life quality than other people. Anxiety and depression may negatively affect the life quality of the public.
