Özet
Aim: Although numerous community-based studies and case reports have been published on COVID-19 and its psychological effects, studies involving hospitalized patients are limited. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate indicators associated with anxiety, depression, and health anxiety in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Material and Methods: One hundred ninety-eight patients hospitalized with diagnoses of COVID-19 pneumonia were included in the study. Participants' sociodemographic characteristics and initial presentation variables were obtained from hospital records and information forms. Severity of lung involvement (SLI) was obtained from thoracic computed tomography (CT) records. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Whiteley Index-7 (WI-7) were applied to all participants. Results: HADS-A levels were higher among female patients than among men (p=0.003). Higher WI-7 scores were determined in patients with mild SLI compared to those with moderate-severe SLI (p=0.012). HADS-A scores were higher in patients with primary symptoms of dyspnea, and HADS-D scores were higher in participants with primary symptoms of cough (p=0.026 and p=0.008, respectively). Discussion: Female gender, severity of lung involvement, and symptoms of dyspnea and cough were identified as clinical indicators in terms of mental health evaluation. We think that our results will be a guide for determining the psychiatric support requirements of COVID-19 patients.
