Abstract
Objective: To understand the psychological status of returning workers in a shopping mall in Shaanxi Province. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted on 500 returning workers in a shopping mall in Xi’an New District, Shaanxi Province, applying the Symptom Self-Rating Scale (SCL-90), and the data were analyzed descriptively using SPSS19.0 statistical software. t-test was used to compare the overall means of two independent samples, and ANOVA was used to compare the overall means of multiple independent samples. Results: Among the 500 returned-to-work workers, 325 (65%) had different degrees of psychological problems, including 102 somatization, 132 obsessive-compulsive symptoms, 74 interpersonal sensitivity, 80 depression, 301 anxiety, 325 terror, 17 paranoia, and 17 poor sleep and diet. The differences in the mean scores of all factors in the psychological status of the returnees by gender were statistically significant (P<0.05), except for the factors of interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety, paranoia, and psychoticism; the mean scores of the factors of anxiety, hostility, paranoia, psychoticism, sleep, and diet were significantly different (P<0.05) among the returnees by age; the psychological status of the returnees by education, except for the factors of somatization, depression, terror, sleep, and diet, were statistically significant (P<0.05). There were significant differences (P<0.05) in the mean scores of the four factors of somatization, depression, phobia, sleep and diet among the returnees with different education levels. Conclusion: During the period of novel coronavirus pneumonia, 65% of the returning workers in shopping malls had negative psychology, and appropriate measures should be taken for them.
