description | The COVID-19 pandemic had significant impacts on mental health. We examined factors associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic in Kazakhstan. We surveyed 991 adults in Kazakhstan in July 2021 using multistage stratified sampling. Depression and anxiety were measured with the Patient Health Questionnaire-4. We conducted logistic regression to assess associations between depression and anxiety and sociobehavioral factors. Overall, 12.01% reported depressive symptoms and 8.38% anxiety. Higher likelihood of depression was associated with being female (AOR: 1.64; 95% CI [1.05, 2.55]), having experience with COVID-19 in the social environment (AOR: 1.85; 95% CI [1.1–3.14]), experiencing food insecurity (AOR: 1.80; 95% CI [1.11–2.89]), increased family conflict (AOR: 2.43; 95% CI [1.32–4.48]) and impaired healthcare access (AOR: 2.41; 95% CI [1.32–4.41]). Higher likelihood of anxiety was associated with being female (AOR: 3.43; 95% CI [1.91–6.15]), increased family conflict (AOR: 2.22; 95% CI [1.11–4.44]) and impaired healthcare access (AOR: 2.63; 95% CI [1.36–5.12]). Multiple factors were associated with mental health in Kazakhstan during the COVID-19 pandemic. Further research is needed to determine the extent to which these factors and their associated mental health outcomes may persist. |
