“…Studies conducted during the pandemic have shown that hospitals are not only places where the treatment of COVID-19 is carried out but are also the most important source for the spread of this disease [3]. As a result, discontinuing elective surgical procedures and reducing the frequency of outpatient follow-ups have been an important step to prevent the spread of the disease during the pandemic [2].…”

“…For non-COVID-19 patients, in many countries, different branches changed their approaches to diseases for this period in accordance with the respective guidelines. Diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the quality of life were 132 postponed to appropriate times in places where the pandemic was seen [2]. Similarly, the number of outpatient clinics in Turkish hospitals has been reduced, elective operations have been postponed, and cancer screening has been restricted.…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused respiratory system diseases and affected people's access to healthcare services for diseases other than COVID-19. After the COVID-19 pandemic, changes occurred in the number and content of pathology laboratory samples, related to measures such as reducing the number of outpatient clinics in hospitals, postponing elective surgery, and restricting cancer screening. All samples sent to the pathology laboratory between 2019 and 2020 were included in our study. Biopsy, cytology, histochemical, and immunohistochemical staining and biopsies for malignant cases were evaluated. Changes in sample number and content caused by the pandemic were examined. The number of biopsies was 24 312 in 2019 and 13 208 in 2020. On comparison, a decrease was observed in all parameters. The largest (78.5%) and smallest (11.02%) decreases were observed in examinations of the incoming preparations for consultation (214-46) and Trucut needle biopsies (726-646), respectively. Cases such as appendectomies that require urgent intervention and malignancies that require further examination and diagnosis are the least affected. However, whether the decrease in cancer screening will affect the early diagnosis and treatment of malignancies and create a public health problem in the future remains to be established.

“…The diagnosis and treatment of conditions that would not be a threat to life and that would affect only quality of life if not treated urgently are postponed to a more appropriate time to reduce the hospital density. There have been several articles published emphasizing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on different surgical procedures performed under emergency conditions, and the precautions to be taken (4)(5)(6). However, there has yet been no study examining the extent to which delays in surgery affect human life in cases of AA, as the cause of acute abdomen requiring emergency surgery.…”

The COVID-19 outbreak has affected healthcare systems around the world, and has led to changes in the clinical and treatment approaches to all diseases. To reveal the reflection and negative effects of the psychological trauma associated with the COVID-19 pandemic among those with acute appendicitis. A retrospective analysis is made of the data of patients admitted to the emergency departments in our city (Trabzon, Turkey) and taken into operation. Comparative analysis of two patient groups diagnosed with acute appendicitis in our region was included in our study: In the COVID-19 pandemic period (Group 2); and on the same dates a year ago (Group 1). Groups 1 and 2 comprised 231 and 144 patients, respectively (p<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the type of anesthesia between the groups (p=0.280). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of median duration of surgery (p=0.239). There was a statistically significant difference in the pathological diagnoses of Groups 1 and 2 (p<0.001). Considering the pathological diagnoses, a significant difference was established in the duration of hospital stay of the cases, which was longer in patients diagnosed with perforated appendicitis (p<0.001). It is apparent that during the COVID-19 outbreak, hospitals are associated with increased transmission risk, causing people to delay their referral to the emergency department, and leading to an increase in irreversible complications and mortality rates.

“…COVID-19 is not only an infectious pandemic but also a public health problem that causes anxiety and fear in people due to the risk of death (Alimoğlu & Erol, 2020). Because of the fear of transmitting infection during the pandemic process, healthcare workers separate from their family members and homes and live away from their loved ones (Enli Tuncay et al, 2020;Mo et al, 2020).…”

Aim: This study was planned to evaluate individuals’ somatosensory perceptions during the pandemic process. Subject and Method: The study used a descriptive and cross-sectional design and was carried out with the participation of 613 individuals who were aged between 18 and 65 and lived in Istanbul. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form and the Somatosensory Amplification Scale (SSAS). Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Bonferroni correction were used for data analysis. Results: According to the findings, 69.3% of the participants were female, 53% had an undergraduate degree, and 12.4% had chronic diseases. The SSAS scores were statistically significantly higher in those who were female (Z=-6.028, p=0.000), had a chronic disease (Z=-2.760; p=0.006), were afraid that they/their family members would get infected with COVID-19 (Z=-4.220; p=0.000), had tested positive for COVID-19 (Z=-2.305; p=0.021), and had a relative who tested positive for COVID-19 (Z=-2.549; p=0.011) (p
