All participants were invited to complete a survey that included the Perceived Severity Questionnaire, Security Questionnaire, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item, and Insomnia Severity Index-7. In total, 568 valid questionnaires were gathered. Correlation analysis and structural equation models were used to explore the relationship between perceived severity, sense of security, depression, anxiety, and insomnia.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>RESULTS<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>The observed prevalence rates of anxiety, depression, and insomnia among residents during lockdown were 27.5%, 17.6%, and 16.0%, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that both perceived severity and sense of security were positively correlated with anxiety, depression, and insomnia [Pearson\u2019s r  was perceived severity and anxiety r  = 0.44 (P  &lt; 0.01); with depression r  = 0.48 (P  &lt; 0.01); with insomnia r  = 0.43 (P  &lt; 0.01); security with anxiety r  = -0.65 (P  &lt; 0.01); with depression r  = -0.65 (P  &lt; 0.01); with insomnia r  = -0.53 (P  &lt; 0.01)]. Structural equation modeling and bootstrap tests revealed that sense of security acted as a significant mediator in the relationship between perceived severity and emotional and sleep disorders (anxiety, depression, and insomnia).<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>CONCLUSION<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>This study demonstrates that sense of security is a significant predictor of emotional and sleep disorders (namely, depression, anxiety, and insomnia) among residents during the COVID-19 lockdown, with sense of security acting as a mediating factor. These findings suggest that mental health interventions for Chinese community residents during lockdowns may benefit from developing community-based educational programs to reduce perceived severity and ensuring the stable supply of essential resources and promoting social support networks to enhance the sense of security.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5498\/wjp.v15.i5.104565","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,30]],"date-time":"2025-04-30T06:00:14Z","timestamp":1745992814000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Impact of perceived severity on depression, anxiety, and insomnia among Chinese community residents during the COVID-19 lockdown"],"prefix":"10.5498","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Jia-Xi","family":"Peng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tian","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jia-Xi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2060","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10408363.2020.1783198"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7150\/ijbs.75699"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jinf.2022.03.015"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jjns.12612"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jinf.2022.04.025"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2021.12.086"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2021.02.001"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0304900"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2024.1423715"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2024.1330521"},{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/M23-1831"},{"key":"B12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10865-024-00487-1"},{"key":"B13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17533015.2023.2281911"},{"key":"B14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.brat.2024.104503"},{"key":"B15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-020-09695-1"},{"key":"B16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.298.14.1685"},{"key":"B17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-021-10285-y"},{"key":"B18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10615806.2021.1964073"},{"key":"B19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17134820"},{"key":"B20","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Cheng SKW, Chong GHC, Chang SSY, Wong CW, Wong CSY, Wong MTP, Wong KC.
