Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Patients with a type D personality have worse social functioning and mental health and more affective constraints than non-type D personalities. They have a negative outlook on life and health-related issues. The aim of this study was to examine the mediating role of stress and anxiety in the relationship between type D personality and COVID-19 by adjustment of the effect of demographic characteristics and perceived symptoms as confounder variables.
METHODS: A total of 196 patients out of those suspected of having COVID-19 and visiting the reference hospitals were selected. They had completed the type D personality and the anxiety and stress scales along with their hospital admission form before undergoing COVID-19 testing. After their COVID-19 test, the participants were divided into two groups based on their disease, an infected group (n = 90) and a non-infected group (n = 106).
RESULTS: Type D personality has no significant direct effect on infection with the disease, but taking into account the mediating variable of stress, the odds of an event in those with type D personality is 2.21 times higher than those without this personality (p = .027) and, taking into account the mediating variable of anxiety, having a type D personality increases the odds of an event by 2.62 times (p = .011), holding demographic characteristics and perceived symptoms constant.
CONCLUSIONS: Given the indirect relationship between COVID-19 and type D personality, the mediating variables of stress and anxiety can be considered full mediating variables.

摘要：
背景：与非D型人格相比，D型人格患者的社会功能和心理健康更差，情感约束更多。他们对生活和健康相关问题持负面看法。这项研究的目的是通过调整人口统计学特征和感知症状作为混杂变量的影响，检验压力和焦虑在D型人格与COVID-19之间关系中的中介作用。
方法：在疑似COVID-19患者中，共选择196例患者，并在参考医院就诊。在接受COVID-19检测之前，他们完成了D型人格、焦虑和压力量表以及入院表。在他们的COVID-19测试之后，参与者根据他们的疾病分为两组，感染组（n=90）和非感染组（n=106）。
结果：D型人格对感染疾病没有显著的直接影响，但是考虑到压力的中介变量，具有D型性格的人发生事件的几率是没有这种性格的人的2.21倍(p=.027)，考虑到焦虑的中介变量，具有D型性格会使事件发生的几率增加2.62倍（p=.011），保持人口统计学特征和感知症状不变。
结论：考虑到COVID-19与D型人格之间的间接关系，压力和焦虑的中介变量可以被认为是完全中介变量。
