"Twitter Discussions and Emotions About the COVID-19 Pandemic: Machine Learning Approach","BACKGROUND: It is important to measure the public response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Twitter is an important data source for infodemiology studies involving public response monitoring. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to examine COVID-19-related discussions, concerns, and sentiments using tweets posted by Twitter users. METHODS: We analyzed 4 million Twitter messages related to the COVID-19 pandemic using a list of 20 hashtags (eg, ""coronavirus,"" ""COVID-19,"" ""quarantine"") from March 7 to April 21, 2020. We used a machine learning approach, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), to identify popular unigrams and bigrams, salient topics and themes, and sentiments in the collected tweets. RESULTS: Popular unigrams included ""virus,"" ""lockdown,"" and ""quarantine."" Popular bigrams included ""COVID-19,"" ""stay home,"" ""corona virus,"" ""social distancing,"" and ""new cases."" We identified 13 discussion topics and categorized them into 5 different themes: (1) public health measures to slow the spread of COVID-19, (2) social stigma associated with COVID-19, (3) COVID-19 news, cases, and deaths, (4) COVID-19 in the United States, and (5) COVID-19 in the rest of the world. Across all identified topics, the dominant sentiments for the spread of COVID-19 were anticipation that measures can be taken, followed by mixed feelings of trust, anger, and fear related to different topics. The public tweets revealed a significant feeling of fear when people discussed new COVID-19 cases and deaths compared to other topics. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that Twitter data and machine learning approaches can be leveraged for an infodemiology study, enabling research into evolving public discussions and sentiments during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the situation rapidly evolves, several topics are consistently dominant on Twitter, such as confirmed cases and death rates, preventive measures, health authorities and government policies, COVID-19 stigma, and negative psychological reactions (eg, fear). Real-time monitoring and assessment of Twitter discussions and concerns could provide useful data for public health emergency responses and planning. Pandemic-related fear, stigma, and mental health concerns are already evident and may continue to influence public trust when a second wave of COVID-19 occurs or there is a new surge of the current pandemic.","Xue, Jia; Chen, Junxiang; Hu, Ran; Chen, Chen; Zheng, Chengda; Su, Yue; Zhu, Tingshao","https://dx.doi.org/10.2196/20550","","Country: CA; CANADÃ; CANADA; CANADA; Database: MEDLINE; Publication details: J Med Internet Res;22(11): e20550, 2020 11 25.; Publication details: J Med Internet Res;22(11): e20550, 2020 11 25.; /epidemiology; Emotions/physiology; Machine Learning; Social Media; /virology; Data Collection/methods; Humans; /isolation & purification; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","2021-01-15","",9478,""
"Poverty, depression, and anxiety: Causal evidence and mechanisms","Why are people who live in poverty disproportionately affected by mental illness? We review the interdisciplinary evidence of the bidirectional causal relationship between poverty and common mental illnesses-depression and anxiety-and the underlying mechanisms. Research shows that mental illness reduces employment and therefore income, and that psychological interventions generate economic gains. Similarly, negative economic shocks cause mental illness, and antipoverty programs such as cash transfers improve mental health. A crucial step toward the design of effective policies is to better understand the mechanisms underlying these causal effects.","Ridley, Matthew; Rao, Gautam; Schilbach, Frank; Patel, Vikram","https://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.aay0214","","Country: US; ESTADOS UNIDOS; UNITED STATES; ESTADOS UNIDOS; USA; EUA; US; UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; ESTADOS UNIDOS DA AMERICA; EEUU; Database: MEDLINE; Publication details: Science;370(6522)2020 12 11.; Publication details: Science;370(6522)2020 12 11.; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","2021-01-15","",9479,""
"Faculty Perceptions: A Qualitative Study of the Perceived Need, Opportunities, and Challenges of Developing ""One Health-One Medicine"" in the Medical, Veterinary, and Public Health Curricula","INTRODUCTION: The conceptual framework of One Health (OH) provides a strategy for promoting collaboration across the nexus of animal, human, and environmental health, which is essential for tackling emerging disease threats, such as COVID-19. However, there is no accreditation requirement for OH to prepare students across the professions for collaborative practice. This study aimed to explore the perspectives of faculty across the medical, veterinary, and public health programs about the need, opportunities, and challenges of developing OH in the curricula. METHODS: In this qualitative study, faculty across the three disciplines were invited to participate in audio-recorded, focus group interviews. Recordings were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using inductive and deductive thematic analysis. RESULTS: All participants recognized the need for OH as a critical concept for preparing students for collaborative practice. Opportunities were identified for shared learning and research across the disciplines, particularly through the use of interprofessional education. The lack of an accreditation mandate for OH in the medical curriculum was perceived to be the greatest challenge, leading to an anticipation of significant resistance among medical educators and students. DISCUSSION: Successful development of OH in all three curricula is vital to prepare students for current and future threats to global health. The role of accreditation bodies in ensuring medical, veterinary, and public health curricula prepare students for these threats is crucial. Implications for practice include strategies for persuading medical educators and medical students to embrace OH in the curriculum and promote a culture of shared learning.","Roopnarine, Rohini; Regan, Julie-Anne","https://dx.doi.org/10.1097/CEH.0000000000000332","","Country: US; ESTADOS UNIDOS; UNITED STATES; ESTADOS UNIDOS; USA; EUA; US; UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; ESTADOS UNIDOS DA AMERICA; EEUU; Database: MEDLINE; Publication details: J Contin Educ Health Prof;Publish Ahead of Print2021 Jan 08.; Publication details: J Contin Educ Health Prof;Publish Ahead of Print2021 Jan 08.; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","2021-01-15","",9480,""
"Anxiety, depression, and health anxiety in undergraduate students living in initial US outbreak ""hotspot"" during COVID-19 pandemic","Evidence of the psychological distress associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including depression, anxiety, and health anxiety, has been documented globally. College students are a unique sub-set of the population with consistently elevated psychological distress associated with the pandemic, and well-informed intervention is urgently needed. The current study is the first, to our knowledge, to document the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of undergraduates in a heavily impacted area in the United States. Cross-sectional, self-report data on psychological distress and COVID-19 exposure were collected from a racially and ethnically diverse sample of 641 undergraduates between April 7-9 May 2020. Nearly half of the students reported elevated psychological distress, including health anxiety, general anxiety, and depression. Heightened risk of psychological distress was associated with female sex, a COVID-19 case in one's immediate social network, underlying medical vulnerabilities, and recent experience of ≥3 viral symptoms. Vigilance to viral symptoms and worry about coronavirus were also factors associated with more severe psychological distress. The current study highlights some of the factors associated with a greater risk of developing psychological distress due to COVID-19 and can be used to inform the dissemination of psychological interventions.","Kibbey, Mindy M; Fedorenko, Erick J; Farris, Samantha G","https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/16506073.2020.1853805","","Country: GB; REINO UNIDO; UNITED KINGDOM; REINO UNIDO; UK; GREAT BRITAIN; INGLATERRA; ENGLAND; ESCOCIA; SCOTLAND; Database: MEDLINE; Publication details: Cogn Behav Ther;: 1-13, 2021 Jan 12.; Publication details: Cogn Behav Ther;: 1-13, 2021 Jan 12.; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","2021-01-15","",9481,""
"""Corona-Debriefing"": concept and pilot testing of a 90-minute workshop for undergraduate-education and specialist-training in family medicine","Background: The corona pandemic is changing the framework conditions for medical studies and continuing education as well as the work with patients and within teams. Systematic reflection and communication about experiences and ways of dealing with them forms the basis for successful learning in and out of the crisis. Therefore, we designed a 90-minute workshop ""Corona-Debriefing"" for students and physicians in specialist-training in family medicine (ÄiW) using three successive moderated interaction phases: Questionnaire survey via tele-dialogue voting (TED) with immediate presentation of results and discussion, moderated experience reports on the categories risk/assessment/support/coping and finally moderated group discussions in small groups to collect ""best practice"" examples of crisis management. Objective: We tested ""Corona-Debriefing"" as a pilot test with 48 participants (TN) in July 2020 (30 present, 14 online) in order to assess mental stress and risk perception of participants plus formative/brief summative evaluation of the workshop. Methods: The PHQ-4 with its subscales GAD-2 (anxiety) and PHQ-2 (depression) was used to assess mental stress; risk assessments were made by means of self-constructed 5-point Likert-scales for the dimensions person/society/health/economy. A formative evaluation was carried out by means of a questionnaire at the end of the event; the brief summative assessment was asked for by means of a school grading scale. Results: 37 complete TED questionnaires and 22 evaluations were obtained. TN showed a low personal risk assessment, but considerable fears about social and economic developments. Needs are seen mainly in improvements regarding organization, protective equipment and technical communication (e.g. official recommendations for action). The workshop was rated ""good"" or ""very good"" in 95% of the evaluations. Criticism was directed at the limited time available, the narrowing of topics by moderators and the desire for (even) more room for the exchange of personal experiences. Conclusion: The workshop ""Corona-Debriefing"" is a relatively easy way to use crisis experiences for learning processes. ""Corona-Debriefing"" can be used by changing the focus of moderation in various courses, years or fields of study, whereby the participants' own personal and clinical crisis experiences remain a prerequisite for a meaningful ""debriefing"".","Klement, Andreas; Ibs, Torben; Longard, Sebastian; Klinkhart, Catarina; Frese, Thomas; Heise, Marcus","https://dx.doi.org/10.3205/zma001388","","Country: DE; ALEMANHA; GERMANY; ALEMANIA; DEUSTCHLAND; Database: MEDLINE; Publication details: GMS J Med Educ;37(7): Doc95, 2020.; Publication details: GMS J Med Educ;37(7): Doc95, 2020.; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","2021-01-15","",9482,""
"Dyspnea, Acute Respiratory Failure, Psychological Trauma, and Post-ICU Mental Health: A Caution and a Call for Research","Dyspnea is an uncomfortable sensation with the potential to cause psychological trauma. Patients presenting with acute respiratory failure, particularly when tidal volume is restricted during mechanical ventilation, may experience the most distressing form of dyspnea known as air hunger. Air hunger activates brain pathways known to be involved in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. These conditions are considered part of the post-intensive care syndrome. These sequelae may be even more prevalent among patients with ARDS. Low tidal volume, a mainstay of modern therapy for ARDS, is difficult to avoid and is likely to cause air hunger despite sedation. Adjunctive neuromuscular blockade does not prevent or relieve air hunger, but it does prevent the patient from communicating discomfort to caregivers. Consequently, paralysis may also contribute to the development of PTSD. Although research has identified post-ARDS PTSD as a cause for concern, and investigators have taken steps to quantify the burden of disease, there is little information to guide mechanical ventilation strategies designed to reduce its occurrence. We suggest such efforts will be more successful if they are directed at the known mechanisms of air hunger. Investigation of the antidyspnea effects of sedative and analgesic drugs commonly used in the ICU and their impact on post-ARDS PTSD symptoms is a logical next step. Although in practice we often accept negative consequences of life-saving therapies as unavoidable, we must understand the negative sequelae of our therapies and work to minimize them under our primary directive to ""first, do no harm"" to patients.","Worsham, Christopher M; Banzett, Robert B; Schwartzstein, Richard M","https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.chest.2020.09.251","","Country: US; ESTADOS UNIDOS; UNITED STATES; ESTADOS UNIDOS; USA; EUA; US; UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; ESTADOS UNIDOS DA AMERICA; EEUU; Database: MEDLINE; Publication details: Chest;2020 Oct 01.; Publication details: Chest;2020 Oct 01.; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","2021-01-15","",9483,""

"Mental health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic associated with social isolation; Consecuencias de la pandemia de la COVID-19 en la salud mental asociadas al aislamiento social","Abstract The 2019 coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) is a public health emergency of international concern, which poses a major challenge to mental health as a result of its unprecedented impact in this 21st century. Research in past epidemics has revealed a deep and wide range of psychosocial consequences at the individual and collective level. There are multiple associated psychological disturbances, ranging from isolated symptoms to complex disorders with marked impairment of functionality, such as insomnia, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Therefore, it is necessary for mental health services to develop strategies that allow them to react skillfully and provide support to health workers and the affected population so as to reduce the psychological impact as well as the development of psychiatric symptoms. The purpose of this reflection article is to show the possible consequences on the mental health of the population as a result of social isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.; Resumen La pandemia por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) es una emergencia de salud pública de preocupación internacional, con impactos sin precedentes en el siglo XXI y hoy representa un gran desafÃo a la salud mental. Estudios en epidemias anteriores han revelado una profunda y amplia gama de consecuencias psicosociales a nivel individual y comunitario durante los brotes. Son múltiples las alteraciones psicológicas asociadas, que van desde sÃntomas aislados hasta trastornos complejos, con un deterioro marcado de la funcionalidad, como insomnio, ansiedad, depresión y trastorno por estrés postraumático. En este contexto es necesario que las entidades de salud mental desarrollen estrategias que permitan reaccionar con destreza y que logren un soporte al personal de salud y a la población afectada, en aras de reducir el impacto psicológico y de los sÃntomas psiquiátricos. Este artÃculo de reflexión tiene por objetivo mostrar las posibles consecuencias en la salud mental de la población, como resultado del aislamiento social debido a la pandemia de la COVID-19.","RamÃrez-Ortiz, Jairo; Castro-Quintero, Diego; Lerma-Córdoba, Carmen; Yela-Ceballos, Francisco; Escobar-Córdoba, Franklin","http://www.scielo.org.co/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0120-33472020000400301","","Country: CO; COLÔMBIA; COLOMBIA; COLOMBIA; Database: LILACS; Publication details: Rev. colomb. anestesiol;48(4): e301, Oct.-Dec. 2020. tab, graf; Publication details: Rev. colomb. anestesiol;48(4): e301, Oct.-Dec. 2020. tab, graf; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","2021-01-15","",9525,""

"Impact of the Coronavirus epidemic (COVID-19) on the mental health of health workers and general population in China; Impacto de la epidemia del Coronavirus (COVID-19) en la salud mental del personal de salud y en la población general de China","Resumen En la lucha contra la epidemia del Coronavirus (COVID-19), el personal de salud puede experimentar problemas de salud mental tales como estrés, ansiedad, sÃntomas depresivos, insomnio, negación, ira y temor. En un estudio en China se observó que la tasa de ansiedad del personal de salud fue del 23,04%, mayor en mujeres que en hombres y mayor entre las enfermeras que entre los médicos. Asimismo, en la población general de China se observó un 53,8% de impacto psicológico moderado a severo; un 16,5% de sÃntomas depresivos, un 28,8% de sÃntomas ansiosos y un 8,1% de estrés, todos entre moderados y severos. Los factores asociados con un alto impacto psicológico y niveles elevados de estrés, sÃntomas de ansiedad y depresión fueron sexo femenino, ser estudiante, tener sÃntomas fÃsicos especÃficos y una percepción pobre de la propia salud. Otro estudio en el mismo paÃs detectó un 35% de distrés psicológico en la población general, con las mujeres presentando mayores niveles que los varones, al igual que los sub-grupos de 18-30 años y los mayores de 60 años. La pandemia plantea pues el desafÃo de cuidar la salud mental del personal de salud tanto como la de la población general. AsÃ, el uso de instrumentos breves de detección de problemas de salud mental, validados en nuestra población, serÃa de mucha utilidad para los retos de salud pública que afronta el paÃs.; Summary In the fight against the Coronavirus (COVID-19), health workers may experience mental health problems such as stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, insomnia, denial, anger and fear. In a study in China, anxiety among health workers reached a 23.04%, with higher levels among women than men, and also higher among nurses than doctors. Likewise, in the general Chinese population, there was a moderate to severe psychological impact of 53.8%, with 16.5% of depressive symptoms, 28.8% of anxiety symptoms and 8.1% of stress, all of them between moderate to severe. Factors associated with a high psychological impact and high levels of stress, anxious and depressive symptoms were female sex, being a student, and having specific physical symptoms and a poor perception of their own health. Another study in China detected 35% of psychological distress in the general population, women presenting it more than men as well as the groups of 18-30 and over 60 years of age. The pandemic challenges us to take care of the health workers' mental health as much as of the general population's. Thus, the use of brief screening mental health scales, validated in our population, would be very effective to face the current public health challenges in our country.","Lozano-Vargas, Antonio","http://www.scielo.org.pe/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0034-85972020000100051","","Country: PE; PERU; PERU; PERU; Database: LILACS; Publication details: Rev. neuropsiquiatr;83(1): 51-56, ene. 2020.; Publication details: Rev. neuropsiquiatr;83(1): 51-56, ene. 2020.; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","2021-01-15","",9527,""
"The psychoethics of syndemic: the pathic and the pathological; La psicoética de lo sindémico: lo pático y la patológico; A psicoética da sindemia: o pático e o patológico","Resumen Tras discutir el alvance y las implicaciones de la expresión ""salud mental"" tanto a nivel individual como social, este artÃculo destaca que el sufrimiento (como condición pática) no siempre es patológico en sentido médico y deberÃa ser considerado al evaluar las respuestas a la sindemia (resultado sinérgico de muchas alteraciones en el medio social) causada por covid-19. Teniendo como trasfondo las dimensiones de experiencia y expectativa de las sociedades, el substrato dialógico del pensamiento bioético es refraseado como una psicoética que incorpora una evaluación de las respuestas que manifiesta el público, los comunicadores y las autoridades. Se refuerza la necesidad de un situacionismo empÃrico en la deliberación moral y la demanda de una axiologÃa empÃrica en la cual los juicios se hagan después de contrastar continuamente valores, principios y normas con la conducta real de las personas.; Abstract After discussing the scope and implications of the expression ""mental health"" at both the individual and social levels, this paper emphasizes that suffering (a pathic condition) is not always pathological in medical terms, and should be taken into consideration when evaluating the responses to the syndemic (the synergistic outcome of many alterations of the social milieu) caused by Covid19. Against the background of the historical-anthropological dimensions of experience and expectation of societies, the dialogical underpinning of bioethical thinking is rephrased as a psychoethics that incorporates an evaluation of the responses affecting the public, the communicators, and authorities. This reinforces the need for an empirical situationism in moral deliberation and the demand for empirical axiology in which judgments are made after continuous contrasting values, principles, and norms with the actual behavior of people.; Resumo Depois de discutir o âmbito e as implicações da expressão ""saúde mental"" tanto a nÃveis individual e social, esse artigo enfatiza que o sofrimento (uma condição pática) nem sempre é patológico em termos médicos e deve ser levado em consideração quando se avalia as respostas ao sindêmico (o desfecho sinérgico de muitas alterações do ambiente social) causado pela Covid19. Contra o pano de fundo das dimensões histórico-antropológicas da experiência e expectativa das sociedades, a sustentação dialógica do pensamento bioético é refraseado como uma psicoética que incorpora uma avaliação das respostas que afetam o público, os comunicadores e as autoridades. Isto reforça a necessidade de um situacionismo empÃrico na deliberação moral e a demanda para uma axiologia empÃrica na qual julgamentos são feitos depois de contrastar continuamente valores, princÃpios e normas com o comportamento real de pessoas.","Lolas Stepke, Fernando","http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1726-569X2020000200147","","Country: CL; CHILE; CHILE; CHILE; Database: LILACS; Publication details: Acta bioeth;26(2): 147-153, oct. 2020.; Publication details: Acta bioeth;26(2): 147-153, oct. 2020.; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","2021-01-15","",9528,""

Objetivo: evaluar el efecto del confinamiento en el ánimo depresivo en población residente en España mayor de 18 años durante el estado de alarma provocada por la pandemia de la COVID-19, analizando, además, la posible incidencia de las variables sexo, edad, tamaño de la vivienda e ingresos económicos. Material y Métodos: diseño transversal, descriptivo y correlacional con metodologÃa de carácter cuantitativo. El acceso a la muestra fue no probabilÃstico a través de la técnica bola de nieve. Para evaluar la condición de ánimo depresivo se utilizó la escala CES-D. Para recopilar los datos relacionados con el sexo, la edad, el tamaño de vivienda y la situación económica, se crearon preguntas ad hoc en la propia encuesta. Resultados: las mujeres presentan valores de ánimo depresivo superiores a los hombres. Además, los valores de ánimo depresivo son mayores cuanto menor es la edad. Las personas que residen en viviendas con un tamaño menor, presentan valores de ánimo depresivo superiores respecto a las personas que viven en residencias con superficies mayores. A su vez, las personas con peores condiciones económicas perciben mayores niveles de ánimo depresivo. Conclusiones: los resultados indican que los sintomas de ánimo depresivo y las consecuencias psicosociales en la población española durante el confinamiento, se encuentran condicionadas por el sexo, la edad, el tamaño de la vivienda y la situación económica.; ABSTRACT Introduction: Health emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic has generated a global commotion, leading to a series of problems related to health, psychosocial factors and economic situation. Objective: To evaluate the effect of confinement on depressive mood in Spanish residents who are over 18 years old during the state of emergency which was declared due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, this paper aims to analyze the possible impact of some variables such as sex, age, size of dwelling and income. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational design with quantitative methodology. Access to the sample was based on a non-probabilistic sampling through snowball technique. CES-D scale was used to evaluate the state of depressive mood. In order to collect data related to sex, age, size of dwelling and economic situation, ad hoc questions were included in the survey. Results: Women presented higher values of depressive mood than men. Furthermore, depressive mood values are higher in younger individuals. People who live in smaller dwellings showed higher values of depressive mood compared to those who live in larger dwellings. Similarly, individuals with less favorable economic conditions perceive higher levels of depressive mood. Conclusions: The results show that depressive mood symptoms and their psychosocial consequences in the Spanish population during confinement are conditioned by sex, age, dwelling size and economic situation.","González Casas, David; Mercado GarcÃa, Esther; Corchado Castillo, Ana Isabel; De la Paz Elez, Pedro","http://scielo.sld.cu/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1729-519X2020000600017","","Country: CU; CUBA; CUBA; CUBA; Database: LILACS; Publication details: Rev. habanera cienc. méd;19(5): e3631, sept.-oct. 2020. tab; Publication details: Rev. habanera cienc. méd;19(5): e3631, sept.-oct. 2020. tab; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","2021-01-15","",9530,""
"FOCUS ON HEALTH PROFESSIONALS DURING THE SARS-COV-2 PANDEMIC - LITERATURE REVIEW; PROFISSIONAIS DE SAÚDE EM FOCO DURANTE A PANDEMIA DE SARS-COV-2 - REVISÃO DE LITERATURA","Introduction: The epidemics claim changes in behavior and often completely change the lives of health professionals. In addition to instituting the need to evaluate old methods of disease prevention. This study aimed to analyze the aspects related to biosafety and the health conditions of health professionals in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Methods: In this narrative review, articles were searched in various databases, organizations, and health entities using keywords compatible with MeSH, including COVID-19, Pandemia, Health professionals, Coronavirus 2019, SARS-CoV-2, personal protective equipment (PPE), Biosafety. Results and Discussion: The review of articles and manuals published in this area revealed that health professionals are being infected with SARS-CoV-2 and effective prevention measures and the correct use of PPE are needed, in addition to health assessment and monitoring, including mental health, of these professionals. Conclusion: There is a lack of data on which PPE may have the best protective effect against SARS-CoV-2, as well as how to use, remove, disinfect, store and replace it. It is essential to offer support to health professionals, both the provision of PPE, as well as in training and maintenance of mental health to reduce the adverse effects that this pandemic can generate in this population.; Introdução: As epidemias requerem mudanças de comportamento e muitas vezes mudam completamente a vida dos profissionais de saúde, além de instituir a necessidade de avaliar métodos antigos de prevenção de doenças. O objetivo desta revisão foi analisar os aspectos relacionados a biossegurança e as condições de saúde dos profissionais de saúde no contexto da pandemia por SARS-CoV-2. Métodos: Nesta revisão narrativa foram pesquisados artigos em várias bases de dados, organizações e entidades de saúde, utilizando palavras-chave compatÃveis com MeSH, incluindo COVID-19, Pandemia, Profissionais de saúde, CoronavÃrus 2019, SARS-CoV-2, Equipamento de proteção individual (EPI) e Biossegurança. Resultados e Discussão: A revisão de artigos e manuais publicados nesta área revelou que os profissionais de saúde estão sendo infectados por SARS-CoV-2 e são necessárias medidas eficazes de prevenção e o uso correto de EPI, além da avaliação e monitoramento da saúde, incluindo a saúde mental, desses profissionais. Conclusão: Mais estudos e investimentos em estrutura e recursos humanos são necessários. Há uma falta de dados sobre quais EPI podem ter o melhor efeito protetor contra o SARS-CoV-2, bem como seu modo de uso, remoção, desinfecção, armazenamento e tempo de substituição. É essencial oferecer apoio aos profissionais de saúde, tanto no fornecimento de EPIs, quanto no treinamento e manutenção da saúde mental para reduzir os efeitos adversos que essa pandemia pode gerar nessa população.","Godoi, Ana Paula Nogueira; Bernardes, Gilcelia Correia Santos; Novais, Rommel Larcher Rachid; Nogueira, Leilismara Sousa; Pinheiro, Melina de Barros","http://publicacoes.unigranrio.edu.br/index.php/rcs/article/view/6317/3329; http://fi-admin.bvsalud.org/document/view/mejuw","","Country: BR; BRASIL; BRAZIL; BRASIL; BRESIL; BRASILE; Database: LILACS; Publication details: Rev.

Para tanto, convida o leitor, na primeira parte do texto, a revisitar o assombro da chegada da pandemia da Covid-19 por meio de um filme, cujas personagens colocam em cena posições subjetivas distintas que carregam a potência de interpelar nosso lugar nos cenários necropolÃticos da crise sanitária brasileira. Na segunda parte do texto, algumas encruzilhadas da democracia e da saúde mental na atualidade são explicitadas, a exemplo da propagação de discursos antidemocráticos e do recrudescimento das fragilidades da Rede de Atenção Psicossocial. Na última parte do escrito, compartilha-se uma experiência de Educação Permanente em Saúde em curso junto a trabalhadores da Rede de Atenção Psicossocial e da Atenção Primária à Saúde, e se desenvolve uma tentativa de reposicionar as balizas para a ação ético-polÃtica no campo da saúde mental contra a paralisia e a anestesia agenciadas pela lógica capitalista do estado necroliberal, que não raro engessa os afetos, os corpos e os atos dos trabalhadores da saúde no cotidiano das práticas.; Abstract This article addresses the relationship between democracy, mental health and pandemic. To this end, it invites the reader, in the first part of the text, to revisit the amazement of the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic by means of a film, whose characters place on the scene distinct subjective positions that carry the power to challenge our place in the necropolitical scenarios of the Brazilian health crisis. In the second part of the text, some of the crossroads of democracy and mental health today are explained, following the example of the propagation of anti-democratic discourses and the recrudescence of the weaknesses of the Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS). In the last section, we share an experience of Permanent Health Education in progress with workers of RAPS and Primary Health Care, and the attempt to reposition the goals for ethical-political action in the field of mental health against paralysis and anesthesia, enacted by the capitalist logic of the necroliberal state, which not infrequently engages the affections, bodies, and acts of health workers in daily practices.; Resumen Este artÃculo tiene como objetivo abordar la relación entre la democracia, la salud mental y la pandemia.

"Covid-19: Mourning, Death and Sustaining the Social Bond; Covid-19: Luto, Morte e a Sustentação do Laço Social; Covid-19: Duelo, Muerte y Sostenimiento del VÃnculo Social","Resumo Partindo de breve contextualização da precariedade dos serviços de saúde no momento em que a Covid-19 abalroa o paÃs, o artigo situa as condições de desamparo em que se encontra o sujeito para enfrentar a pandemia. Reconhece aà as condições para que estejamos enfrentando uma situação traumática que remete aos recursos da psicanálise para encaminhar uma forma de lidar com a situação. Recorre em seguida à conceituação psicanalÃtica de luto e morte identificando-os como experiências coletivas, que deveriam sustentar o pacto social e dar condições para a vida em sociedade, com suas expressões singulares. Examina as atitudes para com a morte, ao longo do último século, identificando a indiferença como uma das atitudes que ataca o referido pacto. Segue estabelecendo a importância do trabalho de luto como reverência feita à morte quando ela não é desmentida pela sociedade ou quando não se encontra nesta a atitude de indiferença para com ela. Conclui retornando ao trabalho do sujeito a partir do trauma surgido do encontro com o real da morte. Trata-se agora para este sujeito de se responsabilizar pelos enfrentamentos necessários que terão ocorrido e se impuseram a ele com a pandemia.; Abstract Starting from a brief contextualization of the precariousness of health services at the moment when Covid-19 hits the country, the article situates the conditions of helplessness in which the subject is to face the pandemic. Then it recognizes the conditions for us to be facing a traumatic situation that refers to the resources of psychoanalysis to guide a way of dealing with the situation. It then resorts to the psychoanalytic concept of mourning and death, identifying them as collective experiences, which should support the social pact and provide conditions for life in society, with their individual expressions. It examines the attitudes towards death, over the last century, identifying indifference as one of the attitudes that attacks this pact. It goes on to establish the importance of mourning as reverence for death when it is not denied by society or when there is no attitude of indifference towards it. It concludes by returning to the subject's work once he or she faces the trauma arising from the encounter with the real of death. It is now for this subject to take responsibility for the necessary confrontations that will have occurred and have been imposed on him with the pandemic.; Resumen A partir de una breve contextualización de la precariedad de los servicios de salud en el momento en que Covid-19 golpea el paÃs, el artÃculo sitúa las condiciones de desamparo en las que se encuentra el sujeto para enfrentar la pandemia.

"Perinatal depression in times of COVID-19: the role of social media on the Internet; Depresión perinatal en tiempos del COVID-19: rol de las redes sociales en Internet","RESUMEN Las emergencias en salud pública como la pandemia del COVID-19 podrÃan llevar a situaciones de estrés extremo, ansiedad y depresión en mujeres en etapa perinatal. La depresión perinatal puede ocasionar a la madre, al recién nacido y al entorno familiar múltiples consecuencias negativas. Las redes sociales, bien utilizadas, pueden constituir una herramienta valiosa de apoyo para las mujeres en esta etapa de su vida. Este artÃculo describe el rol de las redes sociales en Internet como soporte de las gestantes y madres con depresión, particularmente en emergencias de salud pública a nivel mundial como la pandemia del COVID-19. Las redes sociales pueden contribuir a la salud y al bienestar al facilitar la interacción social, construir comunidades, normalizar el comportamiento de búsqueda de ayuda, inspirar cambios saludables en el estilo de vida y ayudar a la investigación médica. Es fundamental educar adecuadamente a las mujeres en etapa perinatal en alfabetización digital en salud que incluya el uso eficiente de las redes en Internet como soporte socioemocional y la evaluación de la calidad de información que se encuentra en las redes sociales y en Internet para una adecuada toma de decisiones.; ABSTRACT Public health emergencies such as COVID-19 pandemic could lead to situations of extreme stress, anxiety and depression in women in the perinatal period. Perinatal depression may lead to multiple negative consequences for mothers, newborns, and their relatives. Appropriate use of social media may be a valuable supporting tool for women during this stage of their lives. This paper describes the role of social media on the Internet for supporting pregnant women and mothers with depression, particularly in global public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Social media may contribute to support health and wellness by facilitating social interaction, building communities, normalizing help-seeking behavior, inspiring healthy lifestyle changes, and promoting medical research.

"COVID-19 information exposure in digital media and implications for employees in the health care sector: findings from an online survey; Exposição à s informações sobre COVID-19 em mÃdias digitais e suas implicações para funcionários do setor de saúde: resultados de uma pesquisa on-line","ABSTRACT Objective: To estimate coronavirus disease 2019-related information consumption and related implications for health care professionals (medical and nonmedical personnel) during the pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional on-line survey was distributed to employees of a major health care institution located in São Paulo, Brazil between April 3 and April 10, 2020. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The sample comprised 2,646 respondents. Most participants (44.4%) reported excessive or almost excessive access to information about the novel coronavirus and 67.6% reported having increased their average time spent on social media. When asked how frequently they consider it was easy to determine the reliability of information, ""sometimes"" corresponded to 43.2% of the answers in contrast to 14.6% responding ""always"". Answers related to potential signs of information overload associated with the pandemic indicated that 31% of respondents felt stressed by the amount of information they had to keep up with almost every day or always. Overall, 80.0% of respondents reported having experienced at least one of the following symptoms: headache, eye twitching, restlessness or sleeping difficulty. The frequency of symptoms was higher among participants with a more negative information processing style regarding when dealing with large volumes of information relative to those with a positive information processing style. Likewise, symptoms were more frequently reported by participants who had increased their social media access relative to those reporting reduced access during the pandemic. Conclusion: Our survey provides a description of how health professionals consume COVID-19 related information during the pandemic, and suggests that excessive information exposure and high processing demands may impose psychological distress and affect mental health.; RESUMO Objetivo: Estimar o consumo de informações relacionadas com doença do novo coronavÃrus e seus efeitos em profissionais do setor da saúde durante a pandemia. Métodos: Um questionário on-line foi distribuÃdo para funcionários de uma instituição de saúde em São Paulo, Brasil, entre 3 e 10 de abril de 2020. Os dados foram analisados com estatÃsticas descritivas. Resultados: Foram incluÃdos nas análises 2.646 participantes. A maioria (44,4%) reportou ter acessado uma quantidade excessiva ou próxima de excessiva sobre o novo coronavÃrus, e 67,6% reportaram ter aumentado seu tempo médio em mÃdias sociais. Quando perguntados se era fácil determinar o que era informação confiável, 43,2% responderam ""à s vezes"", comparados com 14,6% que responderam ""sempre"". Sobre os possÃveis sinais de sobrecarga de informação associada com a pandemia, 31% sempre ou quase todos os dias se sentiram estressados com a quantidade de informações que tinham que acompanhar. Entre os respondentes, 80,0% reportaram sentir pelo menos um sintoma como dor de cabeça, espasmos oculares, inquietação ou dificuldade para dormir. Participantes com um estilo mais negativo de lidar com muitas informações também reportaram maior proporção de sintomas que os participantes com estilo positivo.

"Sports Psychology and Mental Health during the Covid-19 Pandemic; Perspectivas em Psicologia do Esporte e Saúde Mental sob a Pandemia de Covid-19; Perspectivas sobre PsicologÃa del Deporte y Salud Mental en el Contexto de la Pandemia de Covid-19","Resumo Este artigo objetiva compreender as relações entre saúde mental e prática esportiva, de exercÃcio e/ou de atividade fÃsica no perÃodo afetado pela pandemia da Covid-19, especialmente no Brasil. Ancorado em duas perspectivas epistemologicamente diferentes em Psicologia, articula-se resultados oriundos de instrumentos objetivos de mensuração, bem como de experiências no registro do mundo-da-vida. Discute-se que tais práticas corporais são meios e fins da saúde, tanto pelos efeitos orgânicos benéficos previsÃveis, segundo o estado da arte das ciências da atividade fÃsica, como pela expressão por excelência do engajamento no mundo com esquecimento de si. A partir do dispêndio de energia, controle da ansiedade e bem-estar delas resultantes, adotar uma regularidade de exercÃcios fÃsicos no confinamento fornece ao praticante um critério ritual e metabólico auxiliar para o reestabelecimento de parâmetros de tempo e espaço em sua rotina. No entanto, tais atividades também apresentam seus riscos a depender do modo como são realizadas, o que se apresenta como desafio tanto para quem as vivencia quanto para os profissionais em Psicologia do Esporte, seja no âmbito do alto rendimento ou da prática recreativa. Entender as nuances do esporte e as particularidades desses indivÃduos é fundamental para endereçar os cuidados adequados. Salienta-se que tal seara não se limita apenas à s atividades marcadamente esportivas, envolvendo as mais diversas práticas corporais, culturais e de movimento.; Abstract This article analyzes the relation between mental health and sports, exercise and/or physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in Brazil. Based in two epistemologically different perspectives in psychology, results from objective measurement instruments are articulated with world experiences. It is argued that bodily practices are the means and the ends of health, both because of the predictable beneficial organic effects, according to the state of the art in the sciences of physical activity, and because of the possibility of engagement in the world through self-forgetfulness. Based on the resulting energy expenditure, anxiety control and well-being, adopting regular physical exercises in confinement periods provides the practitioner with a ritual and metabolic criteria to restore time and space parameters in a routine. However, such activities also present some risks depending on how they are carried out, which is a challenge both for those who experience them and for professionals in Sport Psychology, whether in the context of high performance or recreational activities. Understanding the nuances of sports practices and the particularities of these individuals is essential to address appropriate care. It should be noted that this field is not limited to notable sporting activities, but involves the most diverse body, cultural and movement practices.; Resumen Este artÃculo tiene como objetivo comprender la relación entre salud mental y deporte, ejercicio y/o actividad fÃsica en el perÃodo afectado por la pandemia de covid-19, especialmente en Brasil. Con base en dos perspectivas epistemológicas diferentes de la psicologÃa, se articulan los resultados de los instrumentos de medición objetiva, asà como de las experiencias en el registro del mundo de la vida. Se argumenta que las prácticas corporales son el medio y el fin de la salud, tanto por los predecibles efectos orgánicos beneficiosos, según el estado del arte de las ciencias de la actividad fÃsica, como por la expresión por excelencia del compromiso en el mundo con el olvido de sà mismo. A partir del gasto energético, el control de la ansiedad y el bienestar que produce, la práctica de ejercicios fÃsicos regulares en el encierro proporciona al practicante un criterio ritual y también metabólico para restaurar los parámetros de tiempo y espacio en su rutina.

"Anxiety levels during a second local COVID-19 pandemic breakout among quarantined people: A cross sectional survey in China","Only a few studies investigated the impact of quarantine on anxiety of general population during a second wave of COVID-19 breakout. We aimed to compare anxiety levels of quarantined and non-quarantined people and investigate factors affecting anxiety during the second COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 1837 participants were included in this cross-sectional study. Anxiety was measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Participants were divided into the quarantined group (QG) and non-quarantined group (Non-QG). The mean STAI-S score in the QG was significantly higher than Non-QG (41.8 ± 11.2 vs 40.01 ± 9.9), so was the proportion of severe state anxiety (11.6% vs 5.5%). Males in the QG were significantly more anxious than females evaluated by both STAI-S and STAI-T. High income was independent protective factors while moderate or bad health status and high trait anxiety level were independent risk factors for severe state anxiety. In conclusion, the COVID-19 confinement could significantly increase anxiety of quarantined people. Males were more vulnerable to the quarantine of COVID-19 with significantly increased anxiety level than females. The results suggest that attention should be paid to anxiety during a second round of quarantine due to COVID-19 and are of help in planning psychological interventions.","Chen, Zhao, Razin, Song, Wu, Ma, HuerxidaAji, Wang, Wang, Yan","https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpsychires.2020.12.067","20210114","Anxiety; COVIDâ€Â19; Mental health; Quarantine","PubMed","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","2021-01-15","",9541,""
"Pandemic-related attitudes, stressors and work outcomes among medical assistants during the SARS-CoV-2 ("Coronavirus") pandemic in Germany: A cross-sectional Study","The SARS-CoV-2 virus has spread rapidly around the globe since December 2019 creating much uncertainty among medical staff. Due to close patient contact, medical assistants are at increased risk of an infection. Several studies have investigated psychological consequences of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on medical staff, yet studies in the outpatient setting are scarce and studies addressing medical assistants are lacking. This study aimed to investigate pandemic-related stressors, attitudes, and work outcomes among medical assistants and to identify possible determinants. The population under study were medical assistants across entire Germany. A self-devised online questionnaire was published between April 7th, 2020, and April 14th. including questions on pandemic-related stressors, attitudes and work outcomes. Additionally, symptoms of depression and anxiety disorder were measured by PHQ-2 and GAD-2, respectively. Logistic regression was performed to identify possible determinants. 2150 medical assistants provided complete data (98.0% female, mean age 37.6 years). Major stressors were uncertainty about the temporal scope of the pandemic (95.1% agreement), about how to act correctly (77.5%), feelings of not being allowed to let patients down (75.9%), uncertainty about one's financial situation (67.4%) and about contact persons for further information (67.1%). One third (29.9%) of the study population screened positively for depression and 42.6% for anxiety disorder. Feeling burdened by one's financial situation was significantly associated with working in specialist practices (1.32 [1.08-1.62]), caring for children (1.51 [1.22-1.87]), depression (1.28 [1.01-1.62]), and anxiety disorder (1.93 [1.55-2.39]). Feeling burdened by thoughts about virus contraction at work was also significantly associated with working in specialist practices (1.33 [1.07-1.64]), caring for children (1.33 [1.07-1.66]), depression (1.54 [1.18-2.00]), and anxiety (4.71 [3.71-5.98]).

"Predictors of self-perceived health worsening over COVID-19 emergency in ALS","Factors influencing self-perceived health status over Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) emergency in vulnerable populations, such as patients with chronic neurological diseases, are still unknown. In this work, we aimed at testing whether clinical care changes imposed by the quarantine, together with certain demographic and disease-specific features, might have determined a self-perceived worsening of health status in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A brief web-based questionnaire investigating self-perceived anxiety, depression, and motor worsening, as well as clinical care changes over COVID-19 emergency, was administered to ALS patients currently followed at San Martino Hospital. Ordinal and logistic regression analyses were applied to identify significant predictors of health status. Fifty-seven ALS patients completed the questionnaire. A total of 35.08% of cases reported anxiety symptoms, 36.84% depressive symptoms, and 35.08% reported worsening of motor symptoms. Significant predictors of anxiety symptoms severity included female gender, greater motor impairment, more aggressive disease course, and rehabilitation therapy suspension. The only significant predictor of depressive symptoms severity was a more aggressive disease course. Significant predictors of motor worsening were shorter disease duration and exams/visits cancelation. COVID-19 emergency and its management exerted a significant impact on self-perceived health status in patients with ALS, particularly in those cases in the earliest disease phases and with a more aggressive disease course. These findings have potential to improve personalized medicine strategies in the next phase.","Cabona, Ferraro, Meo, Roccatagliata, Schenone, Inglese, Villani, Caponnetto","https://doi.org/10.1007/s10072-020-04997-z","20210114","Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; Anxiety; Corona virus disease 2019; Depression; Motor worsening","PubMed","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","2021-01-15","",9544,""

"The impact of lockdown during SARS-CoV-2 outbreak on behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia","During Covid-19 pandemic, the Italian government adopted restrictive limitations and declared a national lockdown on March 9, which lasted until May 4 and produced dramatic consequences on people's lives. The aim of our study was to assess the impact of prolonged lockdown on behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). Between April 30 and June 8, 2020, we interviewed with a telephone-based questionnaire the caregivers of the community-dwelling patients with dementia who had their follow-up visit scheduled from March 9 to May 15 and canceled due to lockdown. Among the information collected, patients' BPSDs were assessed by the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI). Non-parametric tests to compare differences between NPI scores over time and logistic regression models to explore the impact of different factors on BPSD worsening were performed. A total of 109 visits were canceled and 94/109 caregivers completed the interview. Apathy, irritability, agitation and aggression, and depression were the most common neuropsychiatric symptoms experienced by patients both at baseline and during Covid-19 pandemic. Changes in total NPI and caregiver distress scores between baseline and during lockdown, although statistically significant, were overall modest. The logistic regression model failed to determine predictors of BPSD worsening during lockdown. This is one of the first studies to investigate the presence of BPSD during SARS-CoV-2 outbreak and related nationwide lockdown, showing only slight, likely not clinically relevant, differences in BPSD burden, concerning mostly agitation and aggression, anxiety, apathy and indifference, and irritability.","Manini, Brambilla, Maggiore, Pomati, Pantoni","https://doi.org/10.1007/s10072-020-05035-8","20210114","BPSD; Covid-19; Dementia; Isolation; Mental health; SARS-CoV-2","PubMed","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","2021-01-15","",9547,""
"Anxiety and Resilience of Healthcare Workers During COVID-19 Pandemic in Indonesia","The COVID-19 pandemic has an impact on the physical health and mental health of the community, including healthcare workers. Several studies have shown symptoms of depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders in healthcare workers during this pandemic. However, not many studies have examined the resilience of healthcare workers during this pandemic. Resilience is a person's ability to rise and adapt when times are difficult and is considered to have a protective effect on mental problems. This study aims to determine the correlation between resilience and anxiety in healthcare workers during COVID-19 pandemic. This research was a cross-sectional study with observational analytic methods. The respondents were healthcare workers at Dr. Soetomo Hospital as the COVID-19 referral hospital in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. Data were collected from 10 to 16 June 2020 by distributing online questionnaires through the Google form application. There were three questionnaires used: demographic data, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire, and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CR-RISC) questionnaire. The 227 respondents had filled out the questionnaire online with 33% had high state anxiety and 26.9% had high trait anxiety. The mean score of the respondents' resilience was 69 ± 15.823. The Spearman correlation test showed a significant relationship between anxiety and resilience (p <0.05), both S-Anxiety and T-Anxiety. A significant correlation was found between the level of resilience and anxiety experienced by healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The lower the resilience, the higher the anxiety experienced.","Setiawati, Wahyuhadi, Joestandari, Maramis, Atika","https://doi.org/10.2147/JMDH.S276655","20210114","mental health; mental illness; state anxiety; trait anxiety","PubMed","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","2021-01-15","",9548,""

Whereas many COVID-19 vaccines focus on establishing humoral immunity to viral spike protein, vaccine-elicited T cell immunity may bolster durable protection or cross-reactivity with viral variants. To better enable mechanistic and vaccination studies in mice, we identified a dominant CD8 T cell SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein epitope. Infection of human ACE2 transgenic mice with SARS-CoV-2 elicited robust responses to H2-D<sup>b</sup>/N<sub>219-227</sub>, and 40% of HLA-A*02<sup>+</sup> COVID-19 PBMC samples isolated from hospitalized patients responded to this peptide in culture. In mice, i.m. prime-boost nucleoprotein vaccination with heterologous vectors favored systemic CD8 T cell responses, whereas intranasal boosting favored respiratory immunity.

"Sexual minority orientation is associated with greater psychological impact due to the COVID-19 crisis—evidence from a longitudinal cohort study of young Swiss men","Purpose The COVID-19 pandemic and its countermeasures may have had a significant impact on the psychological well-being of specific population subgroups. The present study investigated whether sexual minority men from an ongoing cohort study of young Swiss men experienced different psychological impacts, levels of substance use and addictive behaviours. Methods An ongoing cohort sample based on the general population of young Swiss men (mean age=29.07 years; SD=1.27) was assessed before and during the COVID-19 crisis for depression, stress, sleep quality, substance use and addictive behaviours. Additionally, during the crisis, we assessed its impact in form of fear, isolation and traumatic experiences. Potential associations between these outcomes and sexual orientation (sexual minority vs heterosexual) were tested using linear regression models. Results Compared to heterosexual men, sexual minority men showed higher levels of psychological trauma (b=0.37 [0.25, 0.49]), fear (b=0.18 [0.06, 0.30]) and isolation (b=0.32 [0.20, 0.44]) due to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as higher levels of depression (b=0.31 [0.20, 0.41]) and lower sleep quality (b=-0.13 [-0.24, -0.02]) during the crisis. These differences were to a large degree explained by higher pre-crisis levels of mental health problems and the personality dimension of neuroticism-anxiety. Sexual minority men showed higher overall levels of substance use and addictive behaviours, but these differences were already present before the crisis. Conclusion The COVID-19 crisis may have worsened pre-existing vulnerabilities in sexual minority men, leading to its greater psychological impact on them than on heterosexual men. Services offering psychological support to sexual minorities may need to be reinforced during crises.","Simon Marmet et al.","https://share.osf.io/preprint/461A1-5E6-4CE","20210115","PsyArXiv|Social and Behavioral Sciences; PsyArXiv|Social and Behavioral Sciences|Health Psychology; PsyArXiv|Social and Behavioral Sciences|Health Psychology|Mental Health; PsyArXiv|Social and Behavioral Sciences|Health Psychology|Social health; PsyArXiv|Social and Behavioral Sciences|Social and Personality Psychology","PsyArXiv","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","2021-01-15","",9555,""
"Digital Parent Training RCT Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review","Telehealth interventions have the opportunity to scale evidenced-based therapeutics and increase service access to historically hard to reach populations, including rural, and minority groups. Behavior management parenting interventions are a best-practice intervention to treat a range of disruptive behavior disorders and family dysfunction concerns, which have traditionally occurred in person, but recently been trialed online due to growing demand and a need for remote delivery during COVID-19. There is limited and mixed information to date regarding evidence for online services and minimal research on client and therapeutic factors associated with better outcomes, which is critical for advancing efficacy in the rapidly-growing approach to treating child mental illness. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis (k = 24, total number of intervention participants = 1469 and control participants = 800) of the impact of digital parent training interventions on parent skill, parent mental health, and child externalizing mental health outcomes from 2000 to 2020, among children 2-12 years old, across four databases. Exclusionary criteria include programs targeted for parents of children with intellectual disabilities, autism, brain injury, nutrition/health/dental needs or primary medical diagnosis. Across outcomes, there was a modest effect size of digital parent training interventions (g =.22-.30), compared to controls using random effect two-level and multi-level models. Study heterogeneity varied across outcomes (I² = 18.6% to 66.3%). Results of publication bias were mixed across tests, but they were suggestive of a slight inflation of the effects sizes across outcomes. We tested several moderators related to child demographics, family socioeconomic status, intervention design, and risk of bias. We found the effects of digital parent training on parent skills and child outcomes were stronger if the intervention used was evidence-based, combined hybrid interactive platforms with a therapist and was compared to an inactive control. Given the limitations from the existing literature assess moderating effects regarding population characteristics (i.e. SES, parent mental health), we call on future studies to provide standardized demographics to aide future knowledge synthesis work and provide templates for shared measurement.

Specifically, the study objectives were to: (1) investigate the association between COVID-19-related stress and DSH, (2) test whether dimensions of emotion regulation (ER) difficulties mediated and moderated this association, including whether these effects differed by age, and (3) examine whether the mediating and moderating effects of ER difficulties were stronger for youth who engaged in more social distancing. Methods: 809 Canadian adolescents aged 12 to 18 were recruited via social media websites and completed online surveys from June 17 to July 31, 2020. Results: COVID-19-related stress was positively associated with recent DSH. Lack of emotional clarity, nonacceptance of emotional responses, and limited access to ER strategies mediated the association between COVID-19-related stress and DSH. The magnitude of these indirect effects did not differ by age. Although COVID-19-related stress and ER difficulties did not interact to predict DSH, there was a significant three-way interaction between lack of emotional awareness, COVID-19-related stress, and age. Finally, the indirect effect of COVID-19-related stress on DSH through limited access to ER strategies was stronger for youth who engaged in more social distancing. Conclusions: Overall, these findings align with etiological models that propose central roles for stress and ER difficulties in the development of DSH. Findings also underscore a need to support adolescents, particularly those with reduced in-person social contact, in adaptively coping with stress generated by pandemics.","Christina Robillard et al.","https://share.osf.io/preprint/46144-8E6-4A6","20210115","PsyArXiv|Social and Behavioral Sciences; PsyArXiv|Social and Behavioral Sciences|Clinical Psychology; social distancing; covid-19; emotion dysregulation; deliberate self-harm; physical distancing; youth; pandemic; emotion regulation difficulties; adolescents; self-injury","PsyArXiv","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","2021-01-15","",9557,""
