The study population consisted of 61 patients with COVID-19 disease, of which 23 were in the hospital and 38 were in-home quarantine according to the order of a specialist. Evidence showed that patients in acute stress and sick quarantine are 7.7%. If no acute stress was observed in hospitalized patients. Severe anxiety scores were reported to be 8.2% among home quarantine patients, which was also reported as zero percent among hospitalized patients. It should be noted that hospitalized patients had anxiety on both the anxiety and stress scales, but these two factors were reported at a mild level. However, in quarantine, one quarantine patient was reported to be severely depressed, but none of the hospitalized patients were severely depressed. The main reason for this decision was the fear of illness and the prevention of infecting their family and others. However, hospitalized patients reported better mental health due to the fact that they were constantly monitored by the medical staff and received a variety of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. The results of this study showed that patients with COVID-19 who are in quarantine reported more stress, acute anxiety, and severe depression than hospitalized patients due to separation from the medical staff and avoidance of continuous medical interventions. These factors can lead to panic attacks in patients and have unpleasant results. As in this study, 2 cases of quarantined individuals reported suicide decision. Based on this, it can be concluded that follow-up treatment by telephone or social networks for patients who are referred to home quarantine after receiving a positive COVID-19 test Is necessary.
