Abstract
The level of psychological pain in patients with COVID-19 was investigated in this study by hypothesis testing, one-way ANOVA, multi factor ANOVA, and correlation analysis. The psychological pain thermometer and post-traumatic growth assessment scale were used as research tools. Many factors appear to influence the psychological state of COVID-19 patients including practical problems, communication problems, emotional problems, physical problems, and psychiatric/relative concerns. The severity of the disease, the surrounding environment, family health problems, life perceptions, interpersonal relationships, personal strength, mental changes, new possibilities, and the total post-traumatic growth score are also affected. There is a significant negative correlation between psychological pain and post-traumatic growth. There are significant differences in the degree of psychological pain across the demographic data. Practical problems, communication problems, emotional problems, physical problems, and spiritual/religious concerns show significant effects on the degree of psychological pain.
Highlights
On January 31, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) designated COVID-19 as a global public health emergency (Sohrabi et al, 2020)
Patients in the full or partial knowledge group had a lower degree of psychological pain than those who were ignorant of the disease, which is consistent with the results of Min et al (2018)
The results reveal a negative correlation between COVID-19 patients’ psychological pain and Post-traumatic growth (PTG)
Summary
On January 31, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) designated COVID-19 as a global public health emergency (Sohrabi et al, 2020). The virus that caused the emergence of COVID-19 is SARS-CoV-2. According to a recent study in Chinese Journal of epidemiology, it has been found that SARS-CoV-2, like the closely related SARS-CoV, uses a receptor called ACE2 to enter human cells. This entry requires the assistance of an enzyme called TMPRSS2 (Chinese Journal of Epidemiology, 2020). Public health emergencies are known to have a massive impact on the psychological states of human beings. Individuals must wear suitable protective clothing (e.g., masks), for example, which has certain psychological effects.To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has seriously affected the physical and mental health of human beings across the globe
