Abstract:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel coronavirus isolated from airway epithelial cells in patients with pneumonia. At the end of December 2019, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic began in Wuhan, China, and gradually spread all over the world. There have now been more than 11 125 000 confirmed cases and 528 000 deaths worldwide. Although people took preventative measures against this virus, both the virus and the epidemic still caused great stress and panic. A random sample survey with an anonymous questionnaire was used and 710 valid samples were collected. Knowledge about the virus, preventive measures and stress levels were assessed in this survey. The results showed that people generally had effective precautions during the epidemic. Medical staff, medical students, nonmedical students, and other workers had different awareness levels about the virus, and their stress levels also varied. People in Wuhan had higher levels of stress than those in other regions. People who implemented effective preventive measures and had a good understanding of SARS-CoV-2, especially medical staff, had lower stress levels. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of preventive measures against SARS-CoV-2 and the psychological stress levels of populations, and to further explore the response measures in various aspects such as disease treatment, media coverage and government measures, so as to help alleviate the psychological stress brought by the novel coronavirus.
