Introduction: The Coronaviruses epidemic (COVID-19) affected people's lives widely in psychological, physical, social, and economic dimensions. Anxiety is considered the main consequence of facing unpredictable and new situations, such as those that occur in health crises. COVID-19 anxiety includes experiencing a series of unpleasant psychological symptoms such as depression, hopelessness, and suicidal thoughts. The present study aimed to investigate the cognitive and emotional factors affecting COVID-19 anxiety in 2019 and 2021, employing meta-analysis.
Methods: The statistical population included all research conducted in this field in Iran, available in the form of articles through the websites of Magiran, Cilivica, Noormags, and Scientific Information Database (SID). After searching the articles, 23 studies conducted between 2019 and 2021 were selected. The data were analyzed using CMA Version 2 Software.
Results: The results showed that the overall effect size of cognitive-emotional factors in COVID-19 anxiety was 0.31 in the fixed effects model and 0.43 in the random effects model. In the separate examination of the factors that were repeated more than once, flexibility variables, health anxiety, and death anxiety respectively had the greatest effect on COVID-19 anxiety. Furthermore, considering time as a moderating variable, with time, the effectiveness of Corona anxiety from cognitive and emotional factors had decreased.
Conclusion: Since cognition and emotion interact with each other at the functional and neural levels to form behavior, and effective regulation of emotion is crucial for successful performance, it is essential to pay attention to these factors in preventing anxiety caused by COVID-19.
