Abstract

Background: In Indonesia, Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) was first reported on March 2, 2020, about 4 months after the first case was reported in China. Subsequently, 2 cases were initially reported, and on the 6th of March same year, additional 2 were also reported, leading to an increase in the rising number of cases in the world. The pandemic is affecting mental health in the general population, specifically patients with mental disorders. Therefore, this study aims to determine the correlation between PWS and COVID-19 based on demographic characteristics. Method: This study is a cross sectional correlative study. The sample was obtained using a non-probability sampling technique of consecutive sampling type in which 2 correlation variables are evaluated, and there were 48 PWS and 48 controls. This study was conducted at the Mental Hospital Prof. M. Ildrem, North Sumatra Province.

Result: The results showed that there was a correlation between PWS and COVID-19 PANSS as well as COVID-19 scores with a value of r = 0.519. Additionally, there was also a correlation between years of education, employment status, and income between PWS and Controls.

Conclusion: There was a relationship between the PANSS PWS score and COVID- 19, thereby indicating the relationship between schizophrenia and COVID-19
