: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic can lead to psychological issues; however, few studies have evaluated the mental health status of COVID-19 patients after discharge from the hospital. This study aimed to assess the psychological status of COVID-19 survivors and determine the risk factors associated with adverse psychological outcomes. Through a web-based cross-sectional survey, the data were collected from 158 COVID-19 survivors one month after discharge from the hospital using demographic information, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for the Fifth Edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (PCL-5). Data analysis was conducted in SPSS software (version 24) using logistic regression modeling. The mean age of the participants was 42.02 ± 10.56 years, and the majority of patients were male (58.2%) and married (79.1%). According to the HADS, 32 (20.3%) and 21 (13.3%) patients had anxiety and depression, respectively. Using the PCL-5, 45 (28.5%) patients experienced posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after discharge from the hospital. A positive history of psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, and smoking were the related risk factors for depression, anxiety, and PTSD (P < 0.05). Based on the results, it might be concluded that COVID-19 survivors, especially the aforementioned groups, need more targeted interventions regarding psychological health during and after discharge to avoid COVID-19-related psychiatric injuries.

Introduction Coronavirus disease‐2019 (COVID‐19) is a new viral disease that has spread rapidly worldwide since December 2019 and there is no effective treatment for it. The current study aimed to investigate the psychological consequences and related factors among COVID‐19 survivors. Methods This descriptive analytical study was conducted on 152 patients with COVID‐19 referred to referral hospitals in southeastern Iran in 2020. Data collection tools were three questionnaires of demographic and background information, Depression Anxiety stress Scale (DASS‐21) and Impact of Events Scale‐Revised (IESR). Descriptive and inferential statistics and SPSS25 were used to analyze the data. Results The mean age of patients was 39.52 ± 13.16 years. The patients were mostly female (63.8%). Seventy‐three percent of the patients had severe posttraumatic stress disorder, 26.3% had moderate depression and 26.3% had severe anxiety. The mean scores of posttraumatic stress, depression, and anxiety among patients with COVID‐19 were 41.59 ± 17.28, 12.13 ± 9.16, and 12.45 ± 10.71, respectively. Intensive care unit (ICU) admission, divorce, illiteracy, and retirement were all associated with higher psychological load among patients. Discussion and Conclusion The results showed that patients with COVID‐19 had different levels of anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress. These results may direct the attention of the medical staff to the mental health of COVID‐19 patients, necessitating timely psychological care and intervention during an epidemic.

Somatic symptoms are one of the most common complaints among patients with psychiatric disorders and are considered as one of the most common psychiatric disorders in the new coronavirus pandemic. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the physical symptoms in patients with mood disorders and compare it with healthy individuals. In this case-control study, 67 patients with mood disorders were referred to the psychiatric clinic of 5 Azar Hospital in Gorgan, who met the inclusion criteria, and 68 healthy individuals as control group were entered into the study. For all participants after informed consent, a demographic information questionnaire was completed along with Screening for Somatic Symptoms-7 (SOMS7) and Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15), and the data were analysed by SPSS software version 25. The mean score obtained for the SOMS-7 questionnaire for the group of patients with mood disorders and the control group was 32.37 ± 8.19 and 35.42 ± 11.3, respectively. The mean obtained for the PHQ-15 questionnaire for the mood disorders group and the control group was 8.56 ± 5.93 and 5.86 ± 4.63, respectively. In the mood disorder group, 26.9% of patients had no risk for physical symptoms, 31.3% of patients had a low risk, 25.4% of patients had a moderate risk, and 16.4% of patients had a high risk for physical symptoms. The statistical test showed that although the risk of physical symptoms was high in both groups, this rate was higher in the group with mood disorders, and there is a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). The results also showed a significant and direct relationship between the two questionnaires (P < 0.05). According to the results, although the prevalence of somatic symptoms increased in both groups, the prevalence of somatic symptoms is significantly higher in the mood disorder group.
