MethodsA total of 560 residents were recruited using convenience sampling method， and the selected individuals completed three questionnaires based on online platform， including self-designed general information questionnaire， Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale （GAD-7）， and TCM nursing needs questionnaire. Then the correlation between anxiety level and TCM nursing needs was analyzed by Spearman correlation test. ResultsA total of 552 valid questionnaires were collected. The results of GAD-7 showed that the total score was （11.04±3.72）， and average score of each item was （1.58±0.53）. There were 328 cases （59.4%） without anxiety symptoms， 180 cases （32.6%） with mild anxiety， 33 cases （6.0%） with moderate anxiety， and 11 cases （2.0%） with severe anxiety. The analysis of TCM nursing needs questionnaire showed that the total score was （21.59±7.92）， and dominated by the needs of medical knowledge （2.90±1.15） and TCM dietary care （2.82±1.13）. The item score and total score of TCM nursing needs questionnaire of residents during the COVID-19 epidemic were positively correlated with GAD-7 total score （r=0.240~0.331， P<0.01）.
