“…Yet, international evidence indicates that LTC facilities that moved farthest from the medical model of LTC had reduced mortality and morbidity and more psychosocial benefits (Power & Carson, 2022 ). However, these studies primarily focused on specific aspects of care and the impact of Covid-19 restrictions (Li, 2021 ; Tandan et al, 2023 ; Young et al, 2023 ; Zimmerman et al, 2021 ) Evidence from the current study indicate that Te Whare Tapa Whā can be applied to describe the total well-being of the resident and their family/whānau. Our study adds to the scarce research utilising an integrated well-being model, which aligns with the experiences and conditions of New Zealand older adults in LTC and their families during the pandemic (Cheung et al, 2022 ).…”

Psychosocial well-being in Long-Term Care in the Wake of COVID-19: Findings from a Qualitative Study in New Zealand

Drawing on Mason Durie’s (1985) New Zealand Whare Tapa Whā model of health (spiritual, emotional, physical, and family domains), the goal was to link a model of well-being with the lived reality for long-term care residents and bereaved family members during COVID-19. Interviews were conducted with five residents and six family members of previous residents of one long-term care in one urban centre between July and September 2020. The increased demands imposed by the pandemic highlighted the gaps in well-being for residents and families. In particular, the inability to connect with family during COVID-19 restrictions reduced perceptions of well-being for residents. Study findings indicate that the provision of well-being for older adults and families in long-term care extends beyond the narrow bounds of the biomedical model. The Whare Tapa Whā model provides a valuable framework describing the holistic balance needed between the four health domains.

“…The environmental factors frequently associated with mortality include occupancy, levels of crowding [2,25,56,64,93,97,103,116], the larger size of the facility or the number of beds in the LTCF [2,32,33,62,63,65], the location of the LTCF [2,21,24,62,86], higher community or county incidences [60,77,80,103,112], and structural design of the rooms or number of beds in a room [21,25,66,112].…”

This study aimed to identify the individual, organizational, and environmental factors which contributed to COVID-19-related outcomes in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). A systematic review was conducted to summarize and synthesize empirical studies using a multi-level analysis approach to address the identified influential factors. Five databases were searched on 23 May 2023. To be included in the review, studies had to be published in peer-reviewed journals or as grey literature containing relevant statistical data. The Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tool was employed to assess the methodological quality of each article included in this study. Of 2137 citations identified after exclusions, 99 records met the inclusion criteria. The predominant individual, organizational, and environmental factors that were most frequently found associated with the COVID-19 outbreak comprised older age, higher dependency level; lower staffing levels and lower star and subset domain ratings for the facility; and occupancy metrics and co-occurrences of outbreaks in counties and communities where the LTCFs were located, respectively. The primary individual, organizational, and environmental factors frequently linked to COVID-19-related deaths comprised age, and male sex; higher percentages of racial and ethnic minorities in LTCFs, as well as ownership types (including private, for-profit, and chain membership); and higher occupancy metrics and LTCF’s size and bed capacity, respectively. Unfolding the risk factors collectively may mitigate the risk of outbreaks and pandemic-related mortality in LTCFs during future endemic and pandemics through developing and improving interventions that address those significant factors.

“…Following the first report in Wuhan in December 2019, the disease has rapidly spread, so it was eventually addressed as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on Mar 11, 2020. The incidence of covid-19 has been reaching 660,131,952, of January 10, 2023.1, in which 6,690,473 cases of mortality have been recorded (Young et al 2023 ). From the onset of the third wave, still, there is a threat of continuous rise with reports of new outbreaks of positive COVID-19 cases associated with the increased death toll, and despite vaccination on a large scale, in most countries, there is a need to prevent and eradicate different coronavirus variants (Mahajan et al 2023 ).…”

Deferoxamine has the Potential to Improve the COVID-19-Related Inflammatory Response in Diabetic Patients

The clinical state of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been considered a pandemic disease (COVID-19) that is rapidly spreading worldwide. Despite all global efforts, the only treatment for COVID-19 is supportive care and there has been no efficient treatment to fight this plague. It is confirmed that patients with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disorder and diabetes; are more vulnerable to COVID-19. In the severe type of COVID-19, laboratory findings showed a remarkably enhanced C-reactive protein, IL-6 serum, Iron, and ferritin, which suggest an inflammatory response. Inflammation results in iron homeostasis imbalance and causes iron overload, exacerbating the SARSCOV2 infection. More importantly, recent studies have established that SARS-CoV-2 needs iron for viral replication and also activation. As a result, managing iron overload in diabetic patients with COVID-19 could be an early therapeutic approach to limit the lethal inflammatory response of COVID-19. In this review, Deferoxamine (DFO) has been proposed as an effective iron chelator agent. Graphical Abstract
