“…Based on the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), research groups used to analyze the psychological impact of the epidemic outbreak on medical staff or survivors (Cai et al, 2017;Ji et al, 2017;Li et al, 2015;Tanaka et al, 2016). So far, only limited researches have analyzed the psychological symptoms and experiences of people during the COVID-19 without the SCL-90 (Qiu et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2020;Yang et al, 2020). However, the reliability and validity of SCL-90 which is recognized as a classical scale have been tested in China (Chen and Zhang, 2004;Cheng and Hamid, 1996;Zhong et al, 2013), and the norm of SCL-90 for ordinary Chinese citizens was developed in 1986 (Jin et al, 1986).…”

A B S T R A C TThe World Health Organization (WHO) has declared that the Corona Virus (COVID-19) has become a global pandemic. This study aimed to investigate the psychological symptoms of ordinary Chinese citizens during the Level I Emergency Response throughout China. From January 31 to February 2 2020, an online questionnaire, Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) was designed, and differences in GSI T-scores among subgroups were examined by ANOVA. Based on a cut-off point of the GSI T-scores of 63, the overall sample was divided into high and lowrisk groups. of the 1,060 participants investigated in China, more than 70% of them have moderate and higher level of psychological symptoms specifically elevated scores for obsessive compulsion, interpersonal sensitivity, phobic anxiety, and psychoticism. There were no significant differences between males and females. Those who were of over 50 years old, had an undergraduate education and below, were divorced or widowed, and agricultural workers had significantly more symptoms. However, significantly more minors and medical staff were in the high-risk group. These results show that COVID-19 has a significant adverse socio-psychological influence on ordinary citizens. Therefore, governments should equip psychological health departments and pay attention to the people who are in high-risk groups, providing psychological interventions and assistance.

“…Concerning the rst hypothesis of the study, participants who reported higher levels of fear of COVID-19 also reported higher levels of anxiety and depression and such ndings are compatible with the previous research. Several studies reported that fear and panic concerning COVID-19 elevates the risk to develop mental health issues including anxiety and depression (Du et al, 2020;Guo et al, 2020;Huang & Zhao, 2020;Lai et al, 2020;Liu et al, 2020;Lu et al, 2020). In terms of the ndings regarding the mindfulness, to the best of knowledge, this is the rst study to investigate the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and mindfulness.…”

Abstract The novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is impactful on all aspects of individuals’ lives, particularly mental health due to the fear associated with the pandemic. Thus, current study explored the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and mental health aspects, namely anxiety and depression and whether this relationship is mediated by mindfulness. Data were collected from a student sample of 355 participants (71.5 % female and 28.5% males) ranged between in age 18 and 41 (M= 22.41±3.27) and participants completed Fear of COVID-19 Scale, Mindfulness Attention and Awareness Scale and anxiety and depression subscale of SCL-90-R. In terms of the results, correlational analyses indicated that fear of COVID-19 is reversely associated with mindfulness while positive correlations were found with anxiety and depression. Structural equation modeling analyses demonstrated that mindfulness mediated in the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and depression and anxiety. Implications are further discussed.

“…According to several studies, both for the present Coronavirus pandemic and for previous ones (Nickell, 2004), the nursing population experiences strong feelings of anxiety, depression and fear depending on different demographic data, the distance they have from the facing and treatment of such patients, the perceived gravity of the matter etc. The majority of the studies suggested that there are increased levels of anxiety in medical teams but nurses, specifically, seem to experience anxious or depressive symptoms in higher percentages than doctors and general public Liu et al, 2020) . This is explained by the prolonged stay of the nurse in wards due to treatment continuity or the direct exposure to such patients in acute care settings.…”
