Introduction: The epidemic of the Covid-19 virus affected people's lives widely in psychological, physical, social and economic dimensions. Anxiety is considered as the main consequence of facing unpredictable and new situations such as what happens in health crises. COVID anxiety includes experiencing a series of unpleasant psychological symptoms such as depression, hopelessness and suicidal thoughts. The aim of the present study was to investigate the cognitive and emotional factors affecting the COVID Anxiety in the years 2019 and 2021 by means of meta-analysis.
Methodology: The statistical population included all the researches that were conducted in this field in Iran and were available in the form of articles through the websites of Magiran, Cilivica, Noormags, and Academic Jahad (SID). After searching the articles, 23 studies, which were conducted between 2019 to 2021, were selected. In order to analyze the data, CMA version 2 software was used.
Findings: The results showed that the overall effect size of cognitive-emotional factors in COVID 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 anxiety. Also, considering time as a moderating variable, with the passage of time, the effectiveness of COVID anxiety from cognitive and emotional factors was reduced.
Conclusion: Since cognition and emotion interact with each other at the functional and neural levels to form behavior and effective regulation of emotion is very important for successful performance, it is important to pay attention to these factors in preventing anxiety caused by COVID.
