To explore depression prevalence and related risk factors among elderly coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) survivors, while also evaluating research characteristics. We searched Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, CNKI and Wanfang Data for studies that reported COVID‐19 and depression in older adults. ‘Bibliometrix’ facilitated bibliometric analysis and information visualisation. Random‐effects models merged depression prevalence and relevant risks. Publication bias and its impact were examined using funnel plots, Begg's test, Egger's linear regression, and trim‐and‐fill method. Meta‐regression, bubble plots, and Baujat plots probed heterogeneity. Sensitivity analysis applied the leave‐one‐out method. The study is registered with PROSPERO, CRD42023417706. The bibliometric analysis comprised 138 studies. Publication frequency peaked in the US, China, and Italy, reflecting significant growth. The meta‐analysis comprised 43 studies. Elderly COVID‐19 patients exhibit 28.33% depression prevalence (95% CI: 21.24–35.97). Severe cases (43.91%, 95% CI: 32.28–55.88) experienced higher depression prevalence than mild cases (16.45%, 95% CI: 11.92–21.50). Sex had no depression prevalence impact based on bubble plots. Notably, depression risk did not significantly differ between elderly and young COVID‐19 patients (odds ratio (OR) = 1.1808, 95% CI: 0.7323–1.9038). However, COVID‐19 infection emerged as a substantial elderly depression risk factor (OR = 1.8521, 95% CI: 1.2877–2.6639). Sensitivity analysis confirmed result robustness. Elderly COVID‐19 survivors are likely to develop depression symptoms with regional variations. Severe cases are associated with heightened depression prevalence. COVID‐19 infection stands out as a key elderly depression risk factor, while sex does not influence prevalence. The field's expansion necessitates sustained collaboration and extensive research endeavours.

Background The COVID-19 pandemic affected university students’ mental health worldwide. International students were presenting high levels of stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms before the pandemic. This study aimed to investigate (i) differences between various timepoints of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020, 2021, and 2022) in mental health outcomes and social and emotional aspects in domestic and international students, separately, (ii) differences between international and domestic students between the three timepoints on mental health outcomes and social and emotional aspects, and (iii) possible moderation effects of timepoints on mental health outcomes and social and emotional aspects of domestic and international students. Material and methods Data from three cross-sectional anonymous online surveys conducted in German universities were analyzed and compared. Data were collected in 2020, 2021, and 2022, respectively, with a total N = 14,498. Depressive symptoms, hazardous alcohol use, social support, self-efficacy, resilience, perceived stress, and loneliness were assessed through standardized self-report instruments. Differences between domestic and international students in mental health outcomes, and social and emotional aspects across three timepoints were assessed with one-way and two-way ANCOVAs. Results Regardless of the timepoint, international students presented more depressive symptoms and perceived stress, lower perceived social support and resilience, but higher levels of self-efficacy and less alcohol consumption compared to domestic students. A significant interaction effect between timepoint and student status emerged only for loneliness. Conclusions International students generally presented poorer mental health outcomes than domestic students. Mental health care and prevention such as low-threshold, online counseling should address university students, especially international students.

“…Older age, alienation from others, lack of support from family or relatives and psychological health problems were the main influencing factors of COVIDRI. Lu et al 47 found that COVIDRI symptoms in elderly infected with SARS-CoV-2 in China were significantly more severe than those of the ordinary community elderly who were not infected with SARS-CoV-2, suggesting that attention should be paid to the physical and psychological health of the elderly after recovery from COVID-19, and timely interventions should be carried out. However, the severity of COVIDRI symptoms was not directly proportional to the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection and was not correlated with age.…”

COVID-19–Related Insomnia Populations Research and Management Strategies: A Review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) has affected the quality of sleep for various populations, causing anxiety and depression worldwide. COVID-19-related insomnia (COVIDRI) appears to be more common in certain populations, including females, urban residents and other individuals who reside in high-risk COVID-19-related areas, lack higher socioeconomic and educational levels, have a history of underlying mental illness, have no access to social support and work, or have been mandated for isolation. Among vulnerable populations, pregnant women, adolescents and children are more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression, which leads to irregular sleep-wake cycles and significantly poor sleep quality. Insomnia in COVID-19 patients is associated with decreased immune levels, excessive psychological stress and severe anxiety. The COVIDRI incidence and severity among frontline healthcare workers is high, especially among females and those working in isolation wards and intensive care units. The factors related to COVIDRI for college students during home study are stress from upcoming graduation, disharmonious family relationships and inadaptability to online education. For military personnels, anxiety and depression are the main causes of poor sleep quality. Based on the characteristics of different populations, active Chinese and Western medications, non-drug therapy, psychological counseling and suitable sleep management are vital measures to strengthen immunity, alleviate insomnia and limit recurrence.
