“…All of the studies described the emotional stress that health professionals [ [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] ], non-specialists working in health care [ [29] , [30] , [31] ], patients [ [32] , [33] , [34] , [35] ], children [ 36 ], and members of the general public experience during a medical pandemic [ 37 , 38 , 39 ]. The first cases of a novel disease to emerge spark fear among health professionals and non-specialists working in health care because little or nothing is known about the disease or how it is transmitted [ 19 , [22] , [23] , [24] , 37 ].…”

“…The intervention group showed greater improvement on symptoms as measured by the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale, SCL-25, and WHOQOL-BREF. In the third trial, which involved an Internet-based self-help intervention, participants showed reduced anxiety symptoms after one week, as assessed by the Hamilton Depression and Hamilton Anxiety scales and even further improvement by the second week [ 33 ]. The common thread in these three studies is the active and sustained involvement of patients in their own care.…”

“…Several primary research studies discussed strengths and limitations to their work. Half of the studies noted recruitment bias, small sample size, and response bias as limitations to the generalizability of their findings [ [22] , [23] , [24] , 26 , 33 , [35] , [36] , [37] ]. Collecting data, especially in hectic times at the epicenter of a medical pandemic can be challenging for data collectors [ 36 ].…”

“…Resources are also needed to support the mental health needs of the general public. This review found that non-psychiatric mental health supports can be effective in addressing mental health concerns during medical pandemics [ 26 , 28 , 32 , 33 , [35] , [36] , [37] ]. Providing opportunities to create social networks and establishing protocols for ensuring safety enhance well-being among health professionals and the general public.…”

Background Novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) is a global reminder of the need to attend to the mental health of patients and health professionals who are suddenly facing this public health crisis. In the last two decades, a number of medical pandemics have yielded insights on the mental health impact of these events. Based on these experiences and given the magnitude of the current pandemic, rates of mental health disorders are expected to increase. Mental health interventions are urgently needed to minimize the psychological sequelae and provide timely care to affected individuals. Method We conducted a rapid systematic review of mental health interventions during a medical pandemic, using three electronic databases. Of the 2404 articles identified, 21 primary research studies are included in this review. Result We categorized the findings from the research studies using the following questions: What kind of emotional reactions do medical pandemics trigger? Who is most at risk of experiencing mental health sequelae? What works to treat mental health sequelae (psychosocial interventions and implementation of existing or new training programs)? What do we need to consider when designing and implementing mental health interventions (cultural adaptations and mental health workforce)? What still needs to be known? Conclusion Various mental health interventions have been developed for medical pandemics, and research on their effectiveness is growing. We offer recommendations for future research based on the evidence for providing mental health interventions and supports to those most in need.

[ 13 – 24 ] So the effective prevention and treatment of PD in patients with COVID-19 are very essential task. Studies suggested that advanced nursing care (ANC) may benefit PD in patients with COVID-19.…”

Background: This study will explore the effect of advanced nursing care (ANC) on psychological disorder (PD) in patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods: This study will search the following electronic databases up to June 30, 2020: Cochrane Library, PUBMED, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, OpenGrey, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, CNKI, and WANGFANG. We will not impose any language limitations. Two authors will independently identify titles/abstracts and full-text of all potential studies, and will collect data from eligible studies. Additionally, study quality will be assessed by Cochrane risk of bias. If necessary, we will conduct meta-analysis if sufficient trials are included. Results: This study will explore the effect of ANC on PD in patients with COVID-19 through outcome indicators. Conclusion: The findings of this study may supply summarized evidence of ANC for the management of PD in COVID-19. PROSPERO registration number: PROSPERO CRD42020187610.

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic, mental health burden of university members sharply increased. Specific interventions to address pandemic‐related psychological distress did not yet exist. Current studies show that digital interventions reduce this burden, the investigation of changes in resilience as an outcome is lacking in these studies though. We therefore developed and evaluated the internet‐ and mobile‐based intervention “bounce” to foster resilience, reduce perceived stress, and psychological symptom burden among university members during the pandemic. The 8‐week, unguided internet‐ and mobile‐based intervention consists of one mandatory module promoting resilience and six optional modules on pandemic‐related topics. The study was designed as a one‐arm, longitudinal pilot study with a baseline and postintervention assessment and self‐reported resilience, perceived stress, and psychological symptom burden as outcome measures. The use and acceptance of the intervention modules were recorded and analyzed. A total of 798 individuals were given access to the intervention (n = 70 employees, n = 728 students, M = 26.05 years, 71.8% women). Of these, 273 participants (34%) completed the postassessment. On average, participants logged on to the intervention platform four times and completed an average of 1.90 (SD = 1.64) modules. The intervention as a whole and all modules were well accepted by participants. Intention‐to‐treat analyses showed a significant increase in resilience (t = −4.69, p < 0.001, d = 0.23) and a significant reduction in perceived stress (t = 6.50, p < 0.001, d = 0.32), and psychological symptom burden (t = 3.59, p < 0.001, d = 0.18) from baseline to postintervention. This study demonstrates that digital interventions can be easily developed and used as means to reduce mental health burden in large populations during a pandemic. The need for randomized controlled trials with follow‐up assessments to examine longer‐term effects and revisions of the intervention to increase effectiveness and use are discussed.
