“…The distribution of the means of psychotherapies and psychological support was as follows: online (n = 11, 61%) [15, 17-19, 21, 24, 25, 27, 28, 30, 31], face-to-face (n = 2, 11%) [14, 16], and others (n = 6, 33%) [20, 22, 23, 26, 29, 33]. The category of "others" included a paper-based system [21], mobile app [22], educational video [23], watching virtual reality therapy [26], webinar [29], and no description [20] (total n = 6; n = 1, respectively; see Figure 2).…”

In this scoping review, we investigated psychotherapies and psychological support provided during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic to clarify its recipients and the methods employed. We used Scopus and PubMed as the search engines on October 18, 2022, employing specific search terms (″COVID* ″ AND (″Psychotherap*″ OR ″psychological support*″) AND ″psychological distress*″). The initial search yielded 153 articles, of which 18 met the eligibility criteria after two rounds of screening. The distribution of participants ranged from the general population to patients with COVID-19 and those who had recovered. However, no studies of patients with post-COVID-19 sequelae were found. The distribution of the types of psychotherapies and psychological support varied and the use of new technology was suggested. Online interventions comprised the majority of the means of psychotherapies and psychological support. This study suggests that psychotherapies and psychological support during the COVID-19 pandemic were influenced by the social situation.

“…It could construe that healthcare workers were faced with more challenges in diverse aspects of work and life: the responsibilities of treating infected patients to prevent the spread of the virus; developing proper short-term programs and longterm plans; the discomfort caused by medical protective equipment; the fear of being infected or family member infected; balancing work and family and so on (66,67). Numerous studies have now found that healthcare workers suffer from varying extent of psychological distress during public health emergencies like COVID-19 pandemic and Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) (68)(69)(70). Thus, appropriate and practical psychological interventions should be provided to healthcare workers engaged in the management of COVID-19 patients.…”

ObjectiveIn early March 2022, the highly contagious Omicron variant rapidly emerged in Shanghai. This study aimed to explore the prevalence and associated factors of depression and anxiety in isolated or quarantined populations under lockdown.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted between May 12 and 25, 2022. The depressive and anxiety symptoms, perceived stress, self-efficacy and perceived social support in the 167 participants under isolated or quarantined were examined using the Patient Health Questionnaires-9 (PHQ-9), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS). Data on demographic information were also collected.FindingsThe prevalence of depression and anxiety in isolated or quarantined populations was estimated to be 12 and 10.8%, respectively. Higher education level, being healthcare workers, being infected, longer duration of segregation and higher perceived stress level were identified as risk factors for depression and anxiety. Furthermore, the relationship between perceived social support and depression (anxiety) was mediated not only by perceived stress but also the chain of self-efficacy and perceived stress.ConclusionBeing infected, higher education level, longer duration of segregation and higher perceived stress were associated with higher levels of depression and anxiety among isolated or quarantined populations under lockdown. The formulation of psychological strategies that promote one’s perceived social support and self-efficacy as well as reduce perceived stress is supposed to be drawn.

“…One study noted that after the COVID-19 epidemic, the most reported predictors of nurses' turnover intention included fear of illness, stress, and anxiety ( 54 ). Meanwhile, the psychological impact of the epidemic may be long-lasting after the epidemic ( 55 ). All these reasons may lead to an increase in nurses' turnover intention.…”

BackgroundCOVID-19 pandemic has entered a normal stage in China. During this phase, nurses have an increased workload and mental health issues that threaten the sense of security. Poor sense of security may have a considerable impact on turnover intention through low work engagement. It was challenging to maintain the nurse workforce. Fewer studies have been conducted on the effect of nurses' sense of security on their turnover intention in that phase. This study aimed to investigate the interrelationship between nurses' sense of security, work engagement, and turnover intention during the normalization phase of the epidemic in China and to explore the impact of sense of security on turnover intention.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted from September 2020 to May 2021 in Guangdong Province, China. Data were collected online using Sense of Security Scale for Medical Staff (SSS-MS), Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES), and Turnover Intention Scale. Pearson's correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between sense of security, work engagement, and turnover intention. The hypothesis model used multiple linear regression models and the bootstrapping procedure to analyze the relationship between these variables.ResultsData were collected from 2,480 nurses who met the inclusion criteria. Over half(64.5%) of nurses had a high and very high turnover intention. After controlling the demographic and working variables, sense of security (β = 0.291, P < 0.001) had a direct positive effect on work engagement. Sense of security (β = −0.447, P < 0.001) and work engagement (β = −0.484, P < 0.001) had a direct negative effect on turnover intention. Sense of security and all of its components were associated with turnover intention through the partially mediating effects of work engagement.ConclusionsNurses' turnover intention was at a high level during the normalization phase of the epidemic. Sense of security and its components act as positive resources to reduce turnover intention by improving work engagement. Policy makers and managers may pay attention to the needs of nurses' sense of security, which may be a new perspective to help managers reduce their turnover intention and stabilize the nurse team.
