“…Medical students have a prevalence of SI from 13.7-33.3% (4)(5)(6). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, not only was physical health affected (7)(8)(9), but mental health has also deteriorated signi cantly in various populations (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). Similarly, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, suicidal ideation increased from 13.4-16.9%, according to a study of Mexican students (16), a result similar to a French study (17).…”

Objective: We aimed to determine the association between a major romantic breakup and suicidal ideation in medical students from three universities in Peru. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted during the first pandemic wave in 2021 on medical students from three universities in northern Peru. The outcome was suicidal ideation, measured with question nine of the PHQ-9. The exposure was the experience of a major love breakup during the pandemic. In addition, its association with other covariates (age, sex, family members infected with COVID-19, deceased family members with COVID-19, insomnia, and anxiety, among others) was examined. Results and discussions: Out of 370 students, 19.5% reported a major love breakup during the pandemic (95%CI: 15.5–23.8), and 34.3% had suicidal ideation (95%CI: 29.4–39.4). Having a major love breakup was associated with a higher prevalence of suicidal ideation (PR: 1.49, 95%CI: 1.32–1.67). Moderate insomnia (PR: 2.56, 95%CI: 1.70–3.87) and anxiety symptoms (PR: 1.94, 1.10–3.44) were also associated with suicidal ideation. Conclusion: Our study provides evidence of a significant association between a major love breakup and suicidal ideation. This finding emphasizes the need for further research to better understand this association and inform the development of effective suicide prevention policies in medical education.

Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the psychological health of individuals. The pandemic has contributed to increased anxiety, elevated rates of depression, and worsening suicidal ideation among civilians. Reported rates of burnout are also elevated as employees and employers adapted to ever-changing work environments, finding it increasingly difficult to maintain a work-life balance. The objective of this study is to determine how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the psychological health and rates of suicidal ideation of active duty military personnel in the USA. Materials and Methods A total of 2055 military personnel and military-adjacent employees stationed at a U.S. Air Force base completed a self-report survey that was administered six times from January 2020 to December 2021. Validated scales assessed measures of psychological health and suicidal ideation. General Estimating Equations were used to examine how indicators of time and psychological health predicted suicidal ideation in a military population. Results Life satisfaction, happiness, feeling life is worthwhile, depression severity, and suicidal ideation did not statistically change across the six time points. Worry (P < .01) and depression (P < .001) did decrease significantly, while burnout (P = .01) significantly increased across these time points. Feeling life is worthwhile significantly predicted reduced suicidal ideation (B = -.19; SE = 0.05), while depression (B = 0.11; SE = 0.03), depression severity (B = 0.24; SE = 0.05), worry (B = 0.06; SE = 0.02), and burnout (B = 0.15; SE = 0.07) predicted increased suicidal ideation. Conclusions The rates of depression and worry decreased throughout the pandemic for those in the study while rates of suicidal ideation remained constant, demonstrating the potential resilience of military personnel and military-adjacent employees in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, burnout increased and significantly predicted elevated rates of suicidal ideation, highlighting the importance of focusing on reducing workplace stressors for military personnel.

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected mental health, with children and adolescents being particularly vulnerable. Evidence on the association between childhood trauma and mental health outcomes in schoolchildren during the pandemic is limited. This study aimed to evaluate this relationship in Chiclayo city, northern Peru, during the second wave of COVID-19.MethodsA cross-sectional secondary data study was conducted, measuring childhood trauma using the Marshall’s Trauma Scale, depressive symptomatology (PHQ-9), and anxiety symptomatology (GAD-7). Additional variables assessed were alcohol use (AUDIT), resilience (abbreviated CD-RISC), and socio-educational data. Prevalence ratios were estimated using generalized linear models.ResultsAmong 456 participants, 88.2% were female, with a mean age of 14.5 years (SD: 1.33). Depressive symptomatology prevalence was 76.3% (95%CI: 72.14–80.15) and increased by 23% in schoolchildren with childhood trauma (PR: 1.23; 95%CI: 1.10–1.37). Factors positively associated with depressive symptomatology included increasing age, seeking mental health help during the pandemic, and severe family dysfunction. Anxiety symptomatology prevalence was 62.3% (95%CI: 57.65–66.75) and increased by 55% in schoolchildren with childhood trauma (PR: 1.55; 95%CI: 1.31–1.85). Anxiety symptomatology was positively associated with mild, moderate, and severe family dysfunction.ConclusionSchoolchildren exposed to childhood trauma are at increased risk for depressive and anxiety symptoms. Monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adolescent mental health is vital. These findings can assist schools in establishing effective measures to prevent mental health outcomes.
