摘要

背景:非洲和亚洲的中低收入国家容纳了世界上很大一部分人口，在这些国家，精神卫生研究一直没有得到充分重视。本研究旨在回顾所有已发表的关于亚非地区中低收入国家与COVID-19大流行相关的心理健康问题的研究。方法:使用“心理健康”、“精神障碍”、“COVID-19”、“冠状病毒”、“亚洲”、“非洲”、“中低收入国家”等术语在PubMed和PubMed Central数据库中进行搜索。所有在2020年7月3日之前以英语发表的文章都被纳入其中。结果:在非洲(n = 11)和亚洲(n = 122)中低收入国家共发现133篇论文，讨论了COVID-19背景下心理健康的各个方面。大多数研究是横断面研究，涉及一般人群和重点群体(卫生保健工作者、学生、老年人、患者)的精神发病率、心理反应、压力、应对。研究人员试图开发和验证测量与COVID-19有关的某些心理结构(恐惧、焦虑)的工具。在线调查是研究COVID-19大流行的主要方式。结论:在非洲和亚洲中低收入国家，与COVID-19相关的心理健康研究很少。现有研究表明，2019冠状病毒病大流行期间的心理健康挑战巨大，需要引起关注。有必要制定政策和建议，以应对非洲和亚洲中低收入国家的精神卫生挑战。

Mental health research in the lower-middle-income countries of Africa and Asia during the COVID-19 pandemic: A scoping review

Background

Lower middle - income countries of Africa and Asia have accommodated a large portion of the world’s population, where mental health research has been under-prioritized. This study aimed to review all published research on mental health issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic in lower middle - income countries of the Afro-Asian region.

Methods

A search was conducted in the PubMed and PubMed Central databases using the terms "mental health," "psychiatric disorders," "COVID-19", "coronavirus," "Asia," "Africa," "Lower Middle-income countries." All articles published in the English language until 3^rd July 2020 were included.

Result

A total of 133 papers were found in lower-middle-income countries of Africa (n = 11) and Asia (n = 122), which discussed various aspects of mental health in the context of COVID-19. Most of the studies are cross-sectional studies that addressed mental morbidities, psychological reactions, stress, coping among the general population, and focused groups (healthcare workers, students, elderly, patients). Researchers attempted to develop and validate tools that measure certain psychological constructs (fear, anxiety) concerning COVID-19. Online surveys were the primary modality of researching this COVID-19 pandemic.

Conclusion

COVID-19 related mental health research is scarce in lower-middle-income countries of Africa and Asia. Available researches suggest that mental health challenges during this COVID-19 pandemic are enormous and need attention. There is a need for policy and recommendations to deal with the mental health challenges in lower middle - income countries of Africa and Asia.

期刊介绍： Neurology, Psychiatry & Brain Research publishes original papers and reviews in biological psychiatry, brain research, neurology, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychoimmunology, psychopathology, psychotherapy. The journal has a focus on international and interdisciplinary basic research with clinical relevance. Translational research is particularly appreciated. Authors are allowed to submit their manuscript in their native language as supplemental data to the English version. Neurology, Psychiatry & Brain Research is related to the oldest German speaking journal in this field, the Centralblatt fur Nervenheilkunde, Psychiatrie und gerichtliche Psychopathologie, founded in 1878. The tradition and idea of previous famous editors (Alois Alzheimer and Kurt Schneider among others) was continued in modernized form with Neurology, Psychiatry & Brain Research. Centralblatt was a journal of broad scope and relevance, now Neurology, Psychiatry & Brain Research represents a journal with translational and interdisciplinary perspective, focusing on clinically oriented research in psychiatry, neurology and neighboring fields of neurosciences and psychology/psychotherapy with a preference for biologically oriented research including basic research. Preference is given for papers from newly emerging fields, like clinical psychoimmunology/neuroimmunology, and ideas.
