ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This study examined the associations between social support and anxiety during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in an Israeli sample.AIM:
To examine the associations between social support and anxiety during the COVID-19 in an Israeli sample.METHODS:
Data for this cross-sectional study were retrieved from an online survey. Linear regression, logistic regression and restricted cubic spline models were conducted to test for associations between social support and anxiety.RESULTS:
A total of 655 individuals took part in the present study. In the univariate linear regression model, there is a negative correlation between the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 score (GAD-7) and the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (MSPSS) score. For MSPSS score, the multivariable adjusted regression coefficient and 95% confidence interval (CI) of GAD-7 score were -0.779 (-1.063 to -0.496). In the univariate logistic regression model, there was a negative correlation between anxiety (GAD-7 ≥ 9) and MSPSS score, and there was still a negative correlation in multivariate logical regression analysis. The odds ratios and 95%CI were 0.709 (0.563-0.894).CONCLUSION:
Social support was inversely correlated with anxiety during COVID-19 in an Israeli sample.
