Abstract:
The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic poses a threat to societies’
mental health. This study examined the prevalence of psychiatric symptoms and
identified the factors contributing to psychological impact in the Philippines. A total of
1879 completed online surveys were gathered from March 28-April 12, 2020. Collected
data included socio-demographics, health status, contact history, COVID-19 knowledge
and concerns, precautionary measures, information needs, the Depression, Anxiety and
Stress Scales (DASS-21) and the Impact of Events Scale-Revised (IES-R) ratings. The IES-
R mean score was 19.57 (SD=13.12) while the DASS-21 mean score was 25.94
(SD=20.59). In total, 16.3% of respondents rated the psychological impact of the
outbreak as moderate-to-severe; 16.9% reported moderate-to-severe depressive
symptoms; 28.8% had moderate-to-severe anxiety levels, and 13.4% had moderate-to-
severe stress levels. Female gender; youth age; single status; students; specific
symptoms; recent imposed quarantine; prolonged home-stay; and reports of poor health
status, unnecessary worry, concerns for family members, and discrimination were
