INTRODUCTION: This study aims to early determine the changes of anxiety-depression-stress levels in ICU personnel working on COVID-19 patients, to set precautions so that they can feel secure and mentally relaxed during their work. METHODS: 1 month after starting to admit COVID-19 patients into our ICU, we planned a survey to determine abovementioned changes in healthcare personnel, using standard scales (perceived stress level, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck's Depression Inventory).Survey forms were filled in by 102 people in our ICU. RESULTS: The rates of depression [58.8% (n=60)], anxiety [67.6 % (n=69)] and average perceived stress scale score (29.92±6.86) were determined. Men’s perceived stress scale scores were statistically significantly lower than women’s. Compared to other groups, among the people who previously received psychiatric support, depression rate was higher in 5 of 6 patients (83.3%) and anxiety in 6 of 6 (100 %) patients. The rate of Beck Anxiety Inventory scores in men (51.4 %) were statistically significantly lower than in women (76.1 %). Similarly, prevalence of anxiety was at higher level (76.2 %) in healthcare personnel with children. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: These outbreaks can re-occur in future and create more challenging cases. Therefore, countries should prepare their health systems, especially healthcare professionals, against sudden work overloads to prevent serious psychological problems in these professionals and in society. Healthcare personnel should receive support against mental problems and undergo periodical training to prevent further trauma and impact in future cases. Furthermore, in epidemic settings, preventive diagnosis and treatment studies should be carried out to tackle psychological problems commonly encountered in female healthcare personnel.

Abstract Health professionals have been concerned about mental health of older adults during the COVID pandemic. To explore their experiences, we conducted an online survey of community-dwelling older people to examine their mental health related to stress, based on Pearlin’s Stress Process Model. A snowball approach was used; we sent recruitment e-mails through senior organizations and contacts with e-mail lists of potential participants; there were 504 respondents. We used regression analysis to explore predictors of mental health based on Pearlin’s model. Background characteristics included age (m = 75.7, SD 4.95), gender (77.4% female) and race (White = 93.4%). The CESD-10 provided a measure of mental health. Scores indicated 62.3% of the sample scored in the low range for depressive symptoms and 37.7% in the moderate to high range. Stressors were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale that includes subscales of perceived helplessness and perceived self-efficacy. We also measured perceived social Isolation, and current life space as predictor variables. Results of regressing the CESD-10 onto the set of theoretical predictors revealed that the inclusion both subscales of the Perceived Stress Scale, social isolation, and current life space jointly accounted for approximately 63.0% of the variability in the outcome beyond the baseline model (FChange[4, 449] = 211.15, p < .01), which included age, race, and gender. The model overall, accounted for approximately 66.5% (R2adjusted = 66.0%) of the variability in CESD-10 scores, (F[7, 449] = 127.473, p < .01). Addressing stress among older adults is important to help them maintain positive mental health.

The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to cause mental health issues, especially for healthcare professionals. The aim of this study was to investigate levels of perceived stress, insomnia, and the sense of family support among nurses in pandemic conditions. We administered in a sample of 150 nurses from different hospital departments during the COVID-19 pandemic the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Family Support Scale (FSS). Individual and demographic data were recorded. In total, 120 women and 30 men completed the study questionnaires. Almost half of the participants (49.7%) reported the presence of insomnia and more than half (50.3%) experienced increased stress levels. Scores on the Athens Insomnia Scale correlated positively with Perceived Stress Scale scores (p < 0.01), and negatively with Family Support Scale scores (p < 0.01). Significantly negative correlations were observed among scores on the Perceived Stress Scale and the Family Support Scale (p < 0.01). The regression models revealed that ‘scores on Perceived Stress Scale’ and ‘years of work experience’ were significant predictors of ‘scores on Athens Insomnia Scale’, each explaining 43.6% and 2.3% of the variance. ‘Scores on Athens Insomnia Scale’ and ‘scores on Family Support Scale’ were significant predictors of ‘scores on Perceived Stress Scale’, explaining 43.7% and 9.2% of the variance. In conclusion, we confirmed that working with COVID-19 patients has a negative impact on the sleep of nurses, possibly mediated by increased levels of stress. Family support, as a protective factor, appears to moderate the deleterious consequences of stress.
