registered cases of coronavirus infection in Mongolia were imported from abroad. In Mongolia, all visitors who entered from countries with foci of COVID-19 infection were assigned 21-days of quarantine. Our principal aim was to investigate the stress levels in people who are in quarantine of COVID-19 infection using a PSM-25 scale. Our secondary aim was to determine the needs of respondents for psychological assistance. Methods: The 130 respondents of the study, who crossed the Mongolian border and were in 21 days quarantine during COVID-19 infection, were asked to fill out the psychological stress scale (PSM-25). The assessment of the internal consistency of the original stigma questionnaire was performed by using Cronbach's α =0.71. When we assessed the stress levels, the respondents identified with 42.9% low, 53.7% averge and 10.7% high stress levels.
The study determined that the most urgent, frequently repeated psychological questions among the respondents are 47.6%, feeling of anxiety 33.1%, insomnia 22.3% emotional imbalance, impaired attention concentration, feeling of loneliness and 6.9% constant anxiety. The 10.7% of the quarantined respondents during COVID-19 infection in Darkhan have a high stress level. To overcome these problems, relieve stress and create a feeling of comfortability, people in quarantine need psychological care.
