Abstract

Background: Hospitalized COVID-19 patients suffer from psychological and psychiatric disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety. Because there was no comprehensive study on psychological factors in hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Iran, we investigated the predictive role of personality traits and demographic features on post-traumatic stress disorder in COVID-19 hospitalized patients. Results: In this research method first, 160 patients selected randomly and completed relevant questionnaires, which are prepared online. We examined the multivariate linear regression between the mentioned variables. The results showed that the independent variables are able to predict changes in post-traumatic stress disorder (P < 0.001). The percentage of explanation of changes in dependent variables was equal to 0.77, 0.65, 0.71, and 0.68, respectively. Conclusion: People’s personality traits play a key role in facing and responding to stressful environmental events for instance COVID-19 pandemic, and as a result, some personality traits such as conscientiousness protect people from stress even though, neuroticism personality trait cause instability and make people more stresses, identifying these traits and treating them is. © 2023, The Author(s).
