Psychological dimensions
The overall mean GSI, PST, and PSDI of all subjects was 1.393±0.391,
24.934±21.463, 2.296±0.620 respectively. Scores of 9 dimensions were:
SOM, 1.366±0.415; O-C, 1.618±0.531; I-S, 1.420±0.528; DEP, 1.392±0.467;
ANX, 1.401±0.432; HOS, 1.336±0.460; PHOB, 1.233±0.333; PAR, 1.268±0.385;
PSY, 1.303±0.430, separately. Among the score, PSDI, ANX, and PSY showed
a rising trend (Table 2).
The mean raw score of GSI in COVID-19 survivors, nurses, and hygienists
were 1.56±0.35, 1.35±0.38, and 1.40±0.47. PST were 36.25±20.25,
22.17±20.93, and 26.30±23.24. PSDI were 2.34±0.34, 2.34±0.62, and
1.99±0.84. SOM were 1.65±0.53, 1.33±0.38, and 1.25±0.34. O-C were
1.80±0.47, 1.58±0.53, and 1.61±0.59. I-S were 1.53±0.49, 1.40±0.54, and
1.42±0.55. DEP were 1.56±0.38, 1.34±0.42, and 1.47±0.75. ANX were
1.67±0.45, 1.34±0.41, and 1.39±0.43. HOS were 1.47±0.41, 1.31±0.47, and
1.30±0.47. PHOB were 1.43±0.48, 1.18±0.28, and 1.30±0.34. PAR were
1.39±0.44, 1.24±0.37, and 1.28±0.41. PSY were 1.38±0.40, 1.27±0.41, and
1.41±0.57, respectively (Table 3). In general, the mean raw score of 3
indices and 9 dimensions showed highest in COVID-19 survivors, then the
hygienists, and the lowest in nurses. The COVID-19 survivors showed
significantly higher scores of PST (36.25±20.25 versus 22.17±20.93,P <0.05), SOM (1.65±0.53 versus 1.33±0.38,P <0.05), O-C (1.80±0.47 versus 1.58±0.53,P <0.05), ANX (1.67±0.45 versus 1.34±0.41,P <0.05), and PHOB (1.43±0.48 versus 1.18±0.28,P <0.05) when compared with nurses. Meanwhile, nurses
represented significantly higher in the SOM (1.33±0.38 versus 1.25±0.34,P <0.05), and significantly lower in the PHOB (1.18±0.28
versus 1.30±0.34, P <0.05) dimensions when compared with
hygienists (Figure 1a, b).
There were 7 dimensions (SOM, O-C, I-S, ANX, HOS, PAR, and PSY) showing
extremely high (mean raw score≥2) in COVID-19 survivors with proportions
more than 15%. Moreover, there were two dimensions (O-C and ANX) in
hygienists and 1 dimension (O-C) exceedingly high (mean raw score≥2)
respectively (Figure 2).
