Could you please summarise this study's abstract information :

Wang, C., Pan, R., Wan, X., Tan, Y., Xu, L., Ho, C. S., & Ho, R. C.(2020). Immediate psychological responses and

associated factors during the initial stage of the 2019 Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) epidemic among the general

population in China.International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health,17, 1729. doi:10.3390/

to link it to my hypothesis

H1: Actual uncertainty is positively related to uncertainty distress. The relationship between AU and UD is going to be positively moderated byDispositional Intolerance of Uncertainty.

H2: Actual threat is positively related to uncertainty distress.Dispositional Intolerance of Uncertainty is going to positively moderate the relationship between actual threat and uncertainty distress.

Or can you take a look at this and help me to rephrase information findings as it is to close to that of the study

Background By the time when this research was conducted, the first studies on psychological distress in response to Corona Virus started to appear. Using an online survey (between 31st January to 2nd February 2020, 194 cities, N = 1210), Wang, Pan, Wan, Tan, Xu, Ho and Ho (2020) reported that over half of their respondents (53.8%) rated the psychological impact of the outbreak as moderate or severe; 16.5% reported moderate to severe depressive symptoms; 28.8% reported moderate to severe anxiety symptoms, and 8.1% reported moderate to severe stress levels. Most respondents spent 20-24 h per day at home (84.7%) and were worried about their family members contracting COVID-19 (75.2%). They also reported a range of factors associated with greater distress. Psychological distress in response to Corona Virus was then established, and there was an opportunity to understand a range of factors that contribute to psychological distress and impact from a theoretical perspective.
