“…In addition, personal resources should be strengthened in general, as this could decrease perceptions of stress [134,136]. Improving outpatient caregivers' resilience in general could result in a reduced stress perception and decrease symptoms of anxiety [134,137,138]. Although behavioural interventions are of great importance, it seems to be more difficult for the target population to adapt the measures in practice [139].…”

Health literacy became an important competence during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite outpatient caregivers being a particularly vulnerable occupational group, their health literacy has hardly been examined yet, especially during the pandemic. Hence, this study aimed to explore this field and provide first empirical insights. Data were collected based on a cross-sectional online survey among 155 outpatient caregivers. In particular, health literacy (HLS-EU-Q16), diet and physical activity, pandemic-related worries, perceived information sufficiency and stress perception were examined. Descriptive and ordinal logistic regression analyses were run to test explorative assumptions. The majority of outpatient caregivers reported high values of health literacy (69% on a sufficient level). Although no significant associations between health literacy and health behaviours or perceived information sufficiency were found, perceived information sufficiency and perceived stress (OR = 3.194; 95% CI: 1.542–6.614), and pandemic-related worries (OR = 3.073; 95% CI: 1.471–6.421; OR = 4.243; 95% CI: 2.027–8.884) seem to be related. Therefore, dissemination of reliable information and resource-building measures to reduce worries may be important parameters for improving outpatient caregivers’ health. Our results provide first explorative insights, representing a starting point for further research. Considering outpatient caregivers’ mobile work setting, they need to be provided with adequate equipment and comprehensible information to ensure physically and mentally healthy working conditions.

“…For example, associations have been found between emotional eating and reduced trips to workplaces and parks [32]. The same is true for sleep quality, where a deterioration has been detected, due to restrictions of mobility and stress generated during lockdown [8, [49][50]. Other studies have shown that reduced exposure to daylight and the lack of external "timekeepers" to help regulate an individual's schedule affect their circadian rhythm and therefore their sleep pattern, resulting in poorer quality of sleep and a higher prevalence of sleep disorders such as insomnia and daytime sleepiness [14,38,[51][52][53][54].…”

Purpose: Psychological resilience is defined as the ability of an individual to adapt to adverse situations and in a certain way regulate mental health. Currently, the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown measures implemented to avoid infection are considered risk agents for the development of mental disorders. The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between resilience capacity and the presence of depressive symptoms and poor sleep quality in the context of lockdown due to the pandemic. Methods: The sample consisted of n = 8,426 young adults who were recruited via convenience sampling. Sociodemographic and mental health data was collected through online surveys. Previously validated test were used to collect information on depression and sleep quality. Restriction of mobility was evaluated using information from Google Mobility Reports. Results: Most of participants were highly educated women. Independently from sex, age and other confounders, individuals with psychological resilience were less likely to develop depressive symptoms or sleep disorders during confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, higher mobility restriction was associated with depression but not with bad sleep quality. In this way, a longest stay at home and a higher restriction of mobility to groceries and pharmacies were related to depression. Conclusions: These results show evidence of the importance of psychological resilience on mental health, and can contribute to the development of preventive public health interventions to face the negative effects of confinement on mental health.

“…Im Januar 2021 ergab die Suche nach den Begriffen "mental resilience COVID" in der Literaturdatenbank PubMed.gov 25 empirische Studien, die mit Fragen zu Resilienz und mentaler Gesundheit während der Corona-Pandemie, zwischen Februar und August 2020 befasst waren. Diese Studien, zumeist umgesetzt über querschnittliche Online-Umfragen, umfassten zusammen insgesamt über 76000 Teilnehmende und wurden in China und anderen asiatischen Ländern [31][32][33][34][35][36][37], dem Irak [38], der Türkei [39,40], Israel [41], europäischen Ländern [42][43][44][45][46][47][48], den USA [49][50][51] und Kanada [52] durchgeführt. Die folgenden Ergebnisse wurden vielfach berichtet: Depressive und Angstsymptome hatten im Vergleich zu Populationsnormen zugenommen.…”

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGPsychische Erkrankungen, insbesondere solche, in denen Stress ein wesentlicher pathogenetischer Faktor ist, gehören zu den häufigsten, belastendsten und kostenintensivsten Erkrankungen unserer Zeit. Andererseits ist psychische Gesundheit trotz häufiger Exposition durch allgegenwärtige Widrigkeiten und Stressoren das weitaus häufigere Phänomen als psychische Erkrankungen. Mit anderen Worten, Resilienz gegenüber stressassoziierten Erkrankungen ist der Regelfall. Die Erforschung psychischer Resilienz und ihrer zugrunde liegenden kognitiven und neurobiologischen Mechanismen bietet daher innovative Möglichkeiten zum Verständnis der natürlichen Schutzmechanismen gegenüber stressassoziierten psychischen Erkrankungen, weist neue Wege für Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung und ergänzt die krankheitsbezogene Forschung. Die Voraussetzungen für ein einheitliches Verständnis und eine erfolgreiche neurobiologische Erforschung von Resilienz sind geeignete Methoden zur Konzeptualisierung, Operationalisierung und der Planung von Studiendesigns. Zu diesen gehören ein transdiagnostisches Vorgehen, die Operationalisierung von Resilienz als „Outcome“, d. h. Ergebnis eines Entwicklungsprozesses, eine Erfassung und Berücksichtigung der Stressorexposition, längsschnittliche Studiendesigns und die translationale Identifizierung von Resilienzmechanismen.
