      Objective To investigate the prevalence of anxiety and depression and influencing factors among family members of psychiatric patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Liuyang Mental Health Hospital from March 18 to March 28,2020, during the COVID-19 outbreak by purposive sampling and stratified sampling. A total of 111 family members of inpatients and 116 family members of outpatients were included. Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and self-designed questionnaire were used to investigate. The data were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results A total of 239 questionnaires were collected and 227(94.98%) were valid. Among these subjects, 29 had anxiety symptoms, with an anxiety detection rate of 12.78%. There were 40 subjects with depression symptoms, and the detection rate of depression was 17.62%. Logistic regression analysis showed that the aged over 60 years old (OR=4.454, P=0.041), middle and low sleep quality (OR=17.922, 153.728, P<0.01) and patients staying at home during the pandemic (OR=5.597, P=0.004) were risk factors for anxiety among family members of psychiatric patients. Middle and low sleep quality (OR=7.806, 15.105, P<0.01), low level of education (OR=0.137, 0.205, P<0.05) and patients staying at home during the pandemic (OR=2.868, P=0.022) were risk factors for depression.Conclusion During the COVID-19 outbreak, the family members of psychiatric patients suffered from a certain degree of anxiety and depression. Over 60 years old, poor sleep quality, patients staying at home, and low level of education are the risk factors of anxiety and depression among family members of psychiatric patients.
