“…Also, schools would need medically qualified personnel to serve as advisers to these committees, play prominent roles in the frontline COVID-19 response through co-ordinating surveillance and promoting a biopsychosocial approach to disease management where the mental health of returning pupils is considered paramount. A recent Chinese study demonstrated anxiety and depression to be around 6 and 12% respectively among children and adolescents returning to schools after lockdown [42]. There is increasing recognition that existing mental health systems would not be able to cope with the fall-out of the pandemic and there are calls for targeted school-based mental health interventions [43].…”

Background Following the COVID-19 pandemic, school closures were part of the global public health response to limit community spread of the virus. In recent times, there has been an emphasis on safe school re-opening. This concept is likely to differ between developed and developing country settings. There are however no published studies on barriers hindering safe school re-opening within developing country contexts. This study evaluates aspects of the school health program (SHP) in some selected Nigerian schools that might relate to the pandemic control during school re-opening. Methods In 2017, we conducted a cross-sectional survey of the SHP of 146 registered primary schools in Gwagwalada Area Council in Abuja, Nigeria. These schools provided services to about 54,562 students. We used direct observational methods and interviewer-administered questionnaires to assess the SHP of each school. We compare SHP characteristics that might relate to COVID-19 control in schools across government-owned (public) and privately-owned (private) schools using a pre-defined framework. Results Public school to pupil ratios was more than six times that of private schools. Only 6.9% of all surveyed schools employed qualified health personnel. Although 8 in every 10 schools conducted health talks for communicable disease control, the use of temporary isolation and school-based immunization were low at 1.4 and 2.7% respectively. Pipe-borne water access was present in 4 of 10 schools, with public schools having more limited access than private schools (p = 0.009). Similarly, less proportion of public schools had access to soap for handwashing (p < 0.001). Adequate classroom ventilation was present in 63% of surveyed schools, with private schools having more limited ventilation (p < 0.001). Conclusions Overcrowding and infrastructural deficits within developing country contexts represent barriers to safe school re-opening during the COVID-19 pandemic. In these settings, there needs to be tailored and innovative strategies which consider local practical realities when designing the COVID-19 control programs during school re-opening.

“…For example, a comparison of two cross-sectional studies in China showed an increase in depression and anxiety from February 2020 to April 2020 16 . In adults, a decrease in depression and anxiety was evident in the first few weeks of lockdown 17 ; in children and adolescents, an immediate decrease in anxiety and depression was reported after the lockdown, although overall symptom levels remained high 18 . Finally, other studies found an overall decrease in psychiatric symptoms among children and adolescents 19,20 .…”

Objective Although cross-sectional studies have shown that the COVID-19 pandemic has negativelyaffected the mental health of adolescents, the effect of the pandemic on adolescents with pre-pandemicsymptoms is unclear. We therefore tested the hypothesis that adolescents had increased emotional andbehavioral problems during the lockdowns imposed during the pandemic.Method This study included three measurements in a prospective cohort of 1022 adolescentswho were oversampled based on their high risk of developing psychopathology. Before the pandemic, weassessed depressive, anxiety, stress, oppositional defiant problems, psychotic experiences and suicidality,using the Youth Self-Report; 445 and 333 of these 1022 adolescents subsequently completed the onlinequestionnaire in the first lockdown (in April 2020) and in the second lockdown (in January 2021),respectively. Multilevel random intercept regression models were used to determine the change inpsychiatric symptoms, including an interaction term to assess whether these changes differed based onthe severity of symptoms prior to the pandemic.Results Throughout the pandemic, the majority of adolescents reported having emotional and behavioralsymptoms that were within the normal range. Moreover, the mean symptom scores for all six outcomesdecreased significantly among adolescents with high clinical severity prior to the pandemic.Conclusion In contrast to our original hypothesis, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may notnecessarily be detrimental, at least among a specific subgroup of adolescents with preexisting mentalhealth problems. Moreover, our finding that most adolescents did not report experiencing clinicallyrelevant symptoms during the pandemic reflects their resilience during the pandemic.

“…As maiores taxas de depressão e ansiedade foram encontradas após o pico de casos e regrediram com a diminuição dos casos da doença. Em seu estudo, Liu et al (2021) encontraram que 12,33% e 6,26% relataram depressão e ansiedade após a quarentena, respectivamente. Foram relatadas várias condições durante o período de isolamento, como: insônia, humor ansioso e deprimido, dificuldade de atenção durante o estudo ou trabalho, briga com parentes e até ideações suicidas, que vão de acordo com os dados encontrados na pesquisa de Pereira et al (2020).…”

A pandemia do coronavírus ocasionou diversas mudanças na vida da população, causando consequências psicológicas que podem influenciar na saúde bucal, principalmente doenças orais que têm como etiologia fatores psicoemocionais. Objetivo: realizar uma revisão de literatura acerca da influência da pandemia por COVID-19 nos aspectos psicológicos e sua relação com o bruxismo e a Disfunção Temporomandibular (DTM). Metodologia: trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica de caráter qualitativo em que se realizou a coleta de dados nas plataformas LILACS, BVS, SciELO e PubMed usando os descritores COVID-19, Oral Health, Psychology, Anxiety, Depression, Bruxism, Temporomandibular Disorders em língua inglesa e portuguesa, sendo incluídos artigos que abordassem a associação entre aspectos psicossociais relacionados à pandemia por COVID-19 e sua ligação com o bruxismo e a DTM, além de artigos que correlacionavam a DTM e os aspectos psicológicos ou que tratavam sobre a pandemia por COVID-19 e sua ligação com aspectos psicológicos. Resultados: foram selecionados 19 artigos e estes evidenciaram uma relação entre estresse, ansiedade e depressão com bruxismo e DTM, sendo as mulheres as mais acometidas. Conclusão: a pandemia por COVID-19 elevou os níveis de estresse, ansiedade e depressão, assim como a incidência e a severidade dos sintomas dolorosos de bruxismo e DTM.
