Long-term impact of COVID-19 pandemic on fear of COVID-19 and psychological distress among the general population in Japan: a longitudinal study by Hironori Yada, Ryo Odachi, Keiichiro Adachi

“…Furthermore, in a two-panel cross-lagged analysis to determine the causal relationship between fear of COVID-19 and psychological distress, fear of COVID-19 at T1 significantly predicted psychological distress at T2 (β=0.26, p<0.001). Additional multiple regression analyses adjusted for covariates (age, sex, marital status, COVID-19 status, etc) showed that worsening household finances (β=0.11, p<0.05) and avoiding contact with others (β=0.20, p<0.01) were associated with fear of COVID-19 at T2.Conclusions During the long-lasting COVID-19 pandemic, fear of COVID-19 decreased, but psychological distress did not change. …”
