Research Title: Psychological impact of COVID-19 pandemic in the


Philippines

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
significantly associated with greater psychological impact of the pandemic and higher
levels of stress, anxiety and depression (p<0.05). Adequate health information, having
grown-up children, perception of good health status and confidence in doctors’ abilities
were significantly associated with lesser psychological impact of the pandemic and lower
levels of stress, anxiety and depression (p<0.05). An English online survey was used.
During the early phase of the pandemic in the
In the Philippines, one-fourth of respondents reported moderate-to-severe
anxiety and one-sixth reported moderate-to-severe depression and psychological
impact. The factors identified can be used to devise effective psychological
support strategies.
