Validity was assessed using content validity and data reliability was estimated using Holstie method. The results showed that out of 69-themes identified from the coding of upstream documents and texts, 3-organizing themes were identified. The first was the organizer of psychological effects, of which 30 were sub-themes, the second was the organizer of social effects, of which 17 were sub-themes, and the third was the organizer of behavioral effects, covering 22-sub-themes. According to the findings, among all the identified sub-themes, the themes of stress, anxiety, depression, quarantine, social isolation, sleep disturbance and self-harm were the topics that attracted the most attention in the research.
