Stress often leads to unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive drinking, and overeating, which offer short-term relief but ultimately increase long-term health risks. These behaviors create a cycle that temporarily lowers stress levels but can result in severe long-term health consequences. Breaking these habits is essential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall well-being. Three primary changes that support better health include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake,...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Isolation environments significantly impact individual mental health and behavior.
  • The Shanghai Omicron pandemic necessitated widespread home quarantines, creating unique isolated conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between perceived stress and behavior intention (BI) in individuals isolated during the Shanghai Omicron pandemic.
  • To identify demographic and situational factors influencing BI under quarantine.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 1042 quarantined participants in Shanghai.
  • Utilized self-reported questionnaires for quarantine duration, stress perception, and BI.
  • Employed logistic regression and one-way ANOVA to analyze risk factors for BI.

Main Results:

  • Negative BI was more prevalent among males, those with lower education, employed individuals, and younger participants.
  • A significant negative association was found between perceived stress and BI (B = -1.004, p = .003).
  • Positive BI decreased with quarantine duration, while negative BI showed a fluctuating trend.

Conclusions:

  • Quarantine duration significantly affected perceived stress across different BI levels.
  • High perceived stress emerged as a risk factor for positive BI.
  • Findings underscore the importance of psychosocial considerations in pandemic intervention strategies and policy-making.
