Mental illness prevention The reason for this study is that the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak is one of the most devastating pandemic disasters in recent history. Patients with COVID-19 may struggle with both the life-threatening fear of infection and quarantine-related stressors, necessitating psychological support during a pandemic. However, there has been little empirical research on the current mental health of COVID-19 survivors. The current study sought to determine the severity of mental health problems among confirmed COVID-19 patients. Materials and procedure: The National Center for Disaster Trauma (NCT) has provided psychological support services to COVID-19 patients and their families via a 24-hour hotline. The data from 118 COVID-19 patients who voluntarily participated in the online survey were analysed in our study. The data from 118 COVID-19 patients who voluntarily participated in the online mental health assessment from March to November 2020 were analysed in our study. Self-reported scales such as the Primary Care Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Screen (PC-PTSD), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15), and the P4 Suicidality Screener are also included in the online assessment. On all four screening scales, COVID-19 patients had more severe symptoms, including post-traumatic symptoms, depression, anxiety, and somatic symptoms, than comparison groups (p.001). When it comes to the high-risk group, COVID-19 patients had a higher association with the high-risk group than comparison groups. Finally, we discovered that COVID-19 patients had posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and somatic symptoms. Our findings could provide valuable information about the types and severity of symptoms present in COVID-19 patients. This study emphasises the importance of improving mental health support in the management of COVID-19 patients' psychological problems in the midst of a pandemic. 2022 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/62670/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/62670/1/62670.pdf text en public degree Universiti Teknologi MARA, Melaka Faculty of Art and Design
