Daftar Isi:
- The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a profound negative impact on individuals, manifesting in psychological distress such as depression and anxiety. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the risk and protective factors affecting psychological distress among individuals in Asia. A systematic literature review was guided by the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic and Meta-analysis) protocol using Google Scholar and Science Direct databases. Furthermore, keywords such as “psychological distress”, “COVID-19”, “individual psychological distress”, and “COVID-19 Asia” were employed in the search, with articles selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results included 14 selected articles and showed that psychological distress was influenced by sociodemographic (gender, age, marital status, living in COVID-19-affected areas), stress-related (isolation, vitamin use at home, exposure to negative news on social media), internal (congenital diseases, low self-efficacy), and external factors (heavy workload, low income, lack of health protocols, inexperience in work, recently graduated or completed education). This study provided insights into the psychological distress experienced by individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic and highlights the need for further investigation, such as meta-analyses, to determine the effect size of these risk and protective factors.
