COVID-19 Patient Psychological Pain Factors

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.

Influencing factors of psychological pain among older people in China: A cross-sectional study

“…Scholars like Yang et al [ 14 ] and Jorge et al [ 15 ] have also localized the psychological pain scale building on Holden's contributions; and 2) the relationship between psychological pain and related constructs, such as depression [ 16 , 17 ], anxiety [ 18 , 19 ], and quality of life [ 20 , 21 ]. However, most studies have concentrated on the groups of students [ 17 , 22 , 23 ], and patients with specific diseases [ 24 , 25 ], with a paucity of research interrogating psychological pain among older people.
