“…Although there was also an increase in the number of referrals for substance use disorders during the pandemic, this did not parallel the greater increase in admissions related to mood and anxiety disorders. Despite of the fact that there is less scientific evidence on the impact of the pandemic on alcohol and self-prescribed drug misuse among HPs [ 14 , 15 ], our findings point to the need to adequately prevent and screen for this maladaptive coping strategy among HPs, especially among physicians, confronted by such highly challenging circumstances.…”

“…Estimated prevalence figures vary depending on epidemiological variables, such as number of cases per 100,000 habitants, specific COVID-19 pandemic stage, health service systems characteristics and vaccination rates. Regrettably, information regarding maladaptive coping strategies, such as alcohol use or sedative self-prescription, is less available [ 14 , 15 ]. Most studies do not specifically screen for potential substance use disorders, although experience from previous pandemics points to an increase in the incidence of addictive behaviors among HPs both in the short- and mid-to-long-term [ 16 ].…”

(1) Background: Ongoing specialized programs for health professionals (HPs) adapted their treatment services during the COVID-19 pandemic. (2) Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study of medical e-records of HPs with mental disorders working in Catalonia that were consecutively admitted to the Galatea Care Program Clinical Unit. The sample (N = 1461) was divided into two periods: 21.5 months before (n = 637) and after (n = 824) 14 March 2020. (3) Results: There was a significant increase (29.4%) in the number of referrals to the specialized Clinical Unit during the pandemic, especially with respect to physicians compared to nurses. The percentage of HP women at admission and the clinical severity of the first treatment episode remained without changes before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The most prevalent main diagnoses also remained similar: adjustment disorders (41.5%), mood disorders (24.9%), anxiety disorders (14.4%), and substance use disorders (11.8%). (4) Conclusions: HPs, particularly physicians, more frequently sought voluntary help from specialized mental health programs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Future studies are needed to analyze the reasons behind this finding and the evolution of referrals to these types of programs after the COVID-19 outbreak.

“…De acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos en la investigación podremos considerar que los profesionales de enfermería se encuentran involucrados en conductas de riesgo por múltiples factores. Coincidimos con los autores (Corsi et al, 2022;Madoz-Gúrpide et al, 2021) que establecen que debido al rol operativo que desempeñan dentro de las instituciones hospitalarias y las situaciones que afronta normalmente generan gran cantidad de estrés laboral, síndrome de burnout (Teixeira et al, 2016;Vidotti et al, 2019), así como por las arduas jornadas durante la pandemia de COVID 19 (Betancourt Delgado et al, 2020). Por lo que al incrementar el nivel de estrés de los profesionales interfiere con las conductas saludables al incrementar los sentimientos o emociones negativas incluido el agotamiento emocional por estar interactuando con situaciones que desgastan la esfera emocional.…”

El objetivo fue describir el consumo de alcohol en el personal de enfermería y sus diferencias por edad, sexo y turno. El diseño del estudio fue con un enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo descriptivo y diseño trasversal, con un muestreo no probabilístico en 120 profesionales de enfermería asistenciales. Se empleó una cédula de datos sociodemográficos y se aplicó el cuestionario de identificación de los trastornos por consumo de alcohol (AUDIT). Resultados: Se observó que el 93.3% de los profesionales de enfermería han consumido alcohol alguna vez en la vida, el 78.3% en el último año, el 51.7% en el último mes y el 21.7% en los últimos 7 días. Por otra parte, se identificó que el 38.5% de los profesionales de enfermería presentan consumo de riesgo y síntomas de dependencia, el 23% de los participantes se encuentran con un consumo perjudicial de alcohol. Por sexo se reporta diferencias en el consumo de riesgo en las mujeres (x2 = 6.094, p = .014), mientras que los hombres con el consumo perjudicial (x2 = 8.125, p = .004). Por edad y turno no se encontró diferencias con respecto a los patrones de consumo de alcohol en los profesionales de enfermería (p = >.05).

“…These include increased consumption of alcohol and drugs. In fact, being a resident seems to be a risk factor for substance misuse, 4 as well as having a heavy workload. 1 Both substance misuse and mental distress in health care workers are associated with suboptimal patient care.…”

“…This is an important factor to discuss, for prior studies have demonstrated that household income is one factor associated with socioeconomic status, which has been found to be associated with follow-up rates after hearing screening. 4 This study evaluated the Early Childhood Audiometric Screening (ECAS) program conducted by the Office of Childhood Hearing in the San Francisco Department of Public Health through the Child Care Health Program (CCHP). The CCHP provides a range of health education and screening services to qualified childcare centers in San Francisco.…”

The Early-Childhood Hearing Screening Program in a Low-Income Setting—Reply

To the Editor We read with great interest the article by Brodie et al, 1 titled "Outcomes of an Early Childhood Hearing Screening Program in a Low-Income Setting." Of primary importance, this retrospective, community-based cohort study demonstrated that preschool screening programs were a useful method for children aged 2 to 6 years from urban, lowincome public preschools. Furthermore, the authors should be singularly commended for attaching importance to the value of teacher concern for hearing loss, language, or speech development. We appreciate the important information presented in this study and we would like to comment on some key issues.First, methodological concern that might lessen those conclusions should be emphasized. As the gold standard, formal diagnostic testing has not been fully implemented for all individuals. Specifically, could there be children who passed the preschool hearing screening but still develop a hearing loss later? Could there be false-negative results in identification of hearing loss?Second, as the article mentioned, 1 the study focused on children from a low-income setting, but failed to analyze the socioeconomic factors, especially the household income. It made household income a potential confounder in this study, which may have affected the reliability of the conclusion. In our opinion, the household income should also have been accounted for, because it may prove an important confounding factor. 2,3 Third, in the Figure the number of children who underwent otoacoustic emission testing should state 414, not 141, as written.Overall, the results reported by Brodie et al 1 may have important implications for future preschool screening strategies for hearing loss. However, the confounding factors of formal diagnostic testing and socioeconomic factors such as household income need further consideration when interpreting the results. We agree with the authors that further work is necessary, with a more rigorous protocol including a larger sample population, and analysis of these important factors could strengthen conclusions from this study.
