Abstract： Abstract: Objective: To investigate the influence of COVID-19 on the psychological status of residents in different regions of China in the medium term.Methods: Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS),Social Support Rating Scale (Social Support Rate) and disease awareness survey were performed on 3340 residents in different regions in China. Results: The average scores of depression (40.89 ± 10.901) and anxiety (38.35 ± 8.298) were slightly higher than the norm (P <0.05), but had no clinical significance (depression score> 53; anxiety score> 50). Compared with non-Hubei region, no significant difference was found in depression and anxiety scores. Although average score of each group in the SSRS score was> 30,the younger group was smaller than the older group (P <0.05). The disease cognition score was higher in the medical group than in the non-medical group and higher in the younger group (P <0.05). Correlation analysis showed that there was a significant negative correlation between cognition and anxiety or depression scores (P <0.05). Conclusion: Under the leadership of CPC and Chinese Government, the war against epidemic disease of COVID-19 has achieved Partial victory. The anxiety and depression of the general public, especially in Hubei, have been alleviated to some extent, however it is still slightly worse than that in non-epidemic period. The social masses, especially the elderly masses, are still relatively inadequate in understanding the COVID-19, which needs to be further popularized by the community and medical staff. Further popularization of the disease may be an effective way to eliminate anxiety and depression.
