Keywords:
COVID-19, self-quarantine, post-traumatic stress disorderAbstract
Symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in quarantined individuals are very important to understand to reduce the psychological impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is a lack of evidence to measure PTSD status globally during confinement in quarantine facilities after second wave COVID-19 in Indonesia. This study aims to assess PTSD status in people who are quarantined at home during the pandemic in patients with COVID-19. Survey used the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), multicenter and cross-sectional survey assessed the psychological impact on individuals who experience quarantine of participants with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, their PTSD status, and various correlates with PTSD, data were collected by online media. This study has 120 respondents, 70% of the respondent are women, 79.2% self-quarantine within 11-14 days, and 74.2% of the respondent is Javanese. The study showed that 73.3% experienced severe PTSD symptoms, 6.6% moderate, 15.8% mild, and only 4.2% did not show PTSD symptoms. There is no relationship between the demographic factors of the respondents, namely the length of isolation, ethnicity, gender, and age, with PTSD symptoms suffered by the respondents. This research findings can enlighten policies in Indonesia to decrease the adverse effects of self-quarantine.
