“…The Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) has 22 items that measure psychological distress after exposure to a crisis. The total IES-R score was categorized as normal (0-23), mild (24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32), moderate (33)(34)(35)(36), and severe (≥37) [14]. The IES-R questionnaire has been used in the Vietnamese population in previous studies [14][15][16].…”

“…First, in February, Vietnam had not implemented compulsory social distancing at the national level while strictly large-scale social distancing substantially increased anxiety, depression, loneliness, and substance use [24]. Second, our questionnaire was distributed via social media platforms, which might involve people who were more concerned about the pandemic and thus there might be a high probability of exposure to misinformation and fake news that could elevate depression rates [25]. Moreover, different measurement scales could be attributed to different prevalence.…”

Background: The first nationwide lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic was implemented in Vietnam from April 1 to 15, 2020. Nevertheless, there has been limited information on the impact of COVID-19 on the psychological health of the public. Objective: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of psychological issues and identify the factors associated with the psychological impact of COVID-19 during the first nationwide lockdown among the general population in Vietnam. Methods: We employed a cross-sectional study design with convenience sampling. A self-administered, online survey was used to collect data and assess psychological distress, depression, anxiety, and stress of participants from April 10 to 15, 2020. The Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) were utilized to assess psychological distress, depression, anxiety, and stress of participants during social distancing due to COVID-19. Associations across factors were explored using regression analysis. Results: A total of 1385 respondents completed the survey. Of this, 35.9% (n=497) experienced psychological distress, as well as depression (n=325, 23.5%), anxiety (n=195, 14.1%), and stress (n=309, 22.3%). Respondents who evaluated their physical health as average had a higher IES-R score (beta coefficient [B]=9.16, 95% CI 6.43 to 11.89), as well as higher depression (B=5.85, 95% CI 4.49 to 7.21), anxiety (B=3.64, 95% CI 2.64 to 4.63), and stress (B=5.19, 95% CI 3.83 to 6.56) scores for DASS-21 than those who rated their health as good or very good. Those who self-reported their health as bad or very bad experienced more severe depression (B=9.57, 95% CI 4.54 to 14.59), anxiety (B=7.24, 95% CI 3.55 to 10.9), and stress (B=10.60, 95% CI 5.56 to 15.65). Unemployment was more likely to be associated with depression (B=3.34, 95% CI 1.68 to 5.01) and stress (B=2.34, 95% CI 0.84 to 3.85). Regarding worries about COVID-19, more than half (n=755, 54.5%) expressed concern for their children aged <18 years, which increased their IES-R score (B=7.81, 95% CI 4.98 to 10.64) and DASS-21 stress score (B=1.75, 95% CI 0.27 to 3.24). The majority of respondents (n=1335, 96.4%) were confident about their doctor's expertise in terms of COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment, which was positively associated with less distress caused by the outbreak (B=-7.84, 95% CI-14.58 to-1.11).

“…In terms of COVID-19, the Government of Vietnam, a country which has successfully contained the disease (28,29), has tackled rumours and misinformation by applying hefty fines (e.g. US$ 430-870) for people who spread rumours or misinformation and stigmatise individuals (30). Such evidence-based examples from Nigeria and Vietnam suggest that it is vital to bolstering the efforts of governments to minimise the spread of rumours and social stigma, which often accompany an outbreak such as COVID-19.…”

Globally, multiple factors have elevated the risk and contributed to the fast spread of COVID-19. Alongside this, unsolicited rumours and social stigma are believed to be two possible barriers to the effective prevention of the disease. Despite measures taken, rumours and social stigma related to COVID-19 tend to increase globally. Several studies document that rumours and social stigma may fuel the risk and rapid spread of COVID-19. However, how these rumours and social stigma act as barriers to the prevention of the COVID-19 outbreak remain unclear. This article aims to discuss how rumours and social stigma can undermine the preventive and clinical efforts to fight against the spread of COVID-19 and suggest potential policy implications for addressing rumours and social stigma and optimising preventive efforts. A narrative review of secondary sources of data, including published studies, grey literature and authentic press reports was conducted. The analysis indicates that unverified rumours associated with COVID-19 may weaken people's preparedness for a new infectious disease by driving them to wrong treatment and preventing them from adhering to evidence-based medical suggestions and treatment. Findings also suggest that social stigma may reduce healthcare workers' agency and self-respect to provide support, treatment and care for those with COVID-19. Social stigma may also constrain participation in screening, testing, quarantine, isolation, and treatment of the disease. This article offers six potential policy pathways and emphasises the national and international coordination of all stakeholders for addressing rumours and social stigma associated with COVID-19.

“…Тревожные сводки в СМИ, ограничения в повседневной жизни и деятельности, неопределенность ситуации неизбежно отражаются на психологическом здоровье общества. Неслучайно в публикациях этого года прослеживаются пристальный интерес к проблематике психологических последствий пандемии и обеспокоенность психологическим здоровьем населения разных стран: Саудовской Аравии (AlHumaid, Ali, & Farooq, 2020); Чили (Caqueo-Urízar et al, 2020); Индии (Iqbal & Dar, 2020); Испании (Rodríguez-Rey, Garrido-Hernansaiz, & Collado, 2020); Индонезии (Abdullah, 2020); Италии (Marazziti, Pozza, Di Giuseppe, & Conversano, 2020); Австралии (Berger & Reupert, 2020); Вьетнама (Nguyen & Vu, 2020); Америки (Fitzpatrick, Harris, & Drawve, 2020); Японии (Shigemura & Kurosawa, 2020); России (Бойко, Медведева, Ениколопов, Воронцова и Казьмина, 2020; Тхостов и Рассказова, 2020) и т. д. Отмечается, что COVID-19 представляет собой особый случай кумулятивного риска, который будет иметь широкое влияние в долгосрочной перспективе (Estes & Thompson, 2020;Prime, Wade, & Browne, 2020;Rodríguez-Rey et al, 2020). Установлено, что пандемия может влиять на обострение личностных и межличностных кризисов (Miller, 2020), рост числа суицидов (Reger, Stanley, & Joiner, 2020), ухудшение здоровья, нарушение поведения (Faris, 2020), усиление переживаний одиночества (Ng & Lee, 2019), возникновение ПТСР (Boyraz & Legros, 2020).…”

Введение. Пандемия COVID-19 предоставляет возможность изучить вклад психологических характеристик в адаптацию человека к условиям неопределенности. Одной из таких характеристик является жизнестойкость, до сих пор вызывающая споры о своей роли в поддержании психического, физического и социального здоровья человека. Методы. Для проверки гипотезы о различиях в отношении к ситуации пандемии у лиц с разным уровнем жизнестойкости были использованы краткая версия теста жизнестойкости С. Мадди (в модификации Е. Н. Осина и Е. И. Рассказовой) и специальная анкета для оценки различных аспектов ситуации: ее характеристик, степени воздействия на сферы жизни, страхов, возможностей для совладания (по шкале Ликерта от 0 до 10). Исследование проводилось в период самоизоляции с помощью Google Формы (N = 421; возраст 18–78 лет (средний возраст = 40,3 ± 12,6 лет; 81 % женщин). Результаты. Большинство россиян восприняли ситуацию пандемии в качестве вызова своим возможностям. Группу риска составили 17 % оценивших ее как угрозу, что указывает на необходимость адресной психологической помощи, направленной на психологическое просвещение, основанное на результатах научных исследований. Россияне с высокой жизнестойкостью признают неопределенность, сложность ситуации пандемии, но считают ее подконтрольной. Для группы с низкой жизнестойкостью данная ситуация является высоко неопределенной, сложной, непредсказуемой и не поддающейся контролю, оказывающей влияние на физическую активность и качество социальных контактов. Кроме страхов за своих близких выражен страх будущего. Обсуждение результатов. Полученные результаты находятся в согласии с представлениями о жизнестойкости как способности выдерживать стрессовые ситуации, сохраняя внутреннюю сбалансированность без снижения успешности деятельности, и свидетельствуют о прогностической ценности данного конструкта.
