Why is it important?
We conducted this large-scale, nationwide, multicenter, cross-sectional study using a population-based representative sampling procedure to explore the psychological impact of interpersonal isolation and the stress of infection among a wide range of people. This study can provide a reference for further psychological intervention during the COVID-19 outbreak and psychological condition models for people experiencing isolation and epidemic stress.
Perspectives
Psychological and sleep problems increased during interpersonal isolation due to COVID-19. Current psychological interventions are far from sufficient.
