Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new viral disease that has caused a pandemic in the world. Due to the lack of vaccines and definitive treatment, preventive behaviors are the only way to overcome the disease. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the preventive behaviors from the disease based on constructs of the health belief model. Methods In the present cross-sectional study during March 11–16, 2020, 750 individuals in Golestan Province of Iran were included in the study using the convenience sampling and they completed the questionnaires through cyberspace. Factor scores were calculated using the confirmatory factor analysis. The effects of different factors were separately investigated using the univariate analyses, including students sample t-test, ANOVA, and simple linear regression. Finally, the effective factors were examined by the multiple regression analysis at a significant level of 0.05 and through Mplus 7 and SPSS 16. Results The participants’ mean age was 33.9 ± 9.45 years; and 57.1% of them had associate and bachelor's degrees. Multiple regression indicated that the mean score of preventive behavior from COVID-19 was higher in females than males, and greater in urban dwellers than rural dwellers. Furthermore, one unit increase in the standard deviation of factor scores of self-efficacy and perceived benefits increased the scores of preventive behavior from COVID-19 by 0.22 and 0.17 units respectively. On the contrary, one unit increase in the standard deviation of factor score of perceived barriers and fatalistic beliefs decreased the scores of the preventive behavior from COVID-19 by 0.36 and 0.19 units respectively. Conclusions Results of the present study indicated that female gender, perceived barriers, perceived self-efficacy, fatalistic beliefs, perceived interests, and living in city had the greatest preventive behaviors from COVID-19 respectively. Preventive interventions were necessary among males and villagers.

“…Diese Beobachtung konnte seit Beginn der Pandemie auch wissenschaftlich untermauert werden [ 7 ]. Eine stetige Zunahme an Evidenz bezüglich psychischer Gesundheit und der COVID-19-Pandemie aus chinesischen und südostasiatischen Querschnittsstudien zeigte, dass nicht nur Mitarbeitende des Gesundheitswesens belastet waren [ 8 , 9 ], sondern dass auch in der Allgemeinbevölkerung Symptome von generalisierter Angst, Depression und schlechter Schlafqualität zunahmen [ 10 – 12 ]. Diese Ergebnisse wurden auch in Europa reproduziert [ 13 – 17 ].…”

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Auswirkungen der COVID-19-Pandemie auf die psychische Gesundheit zeigten sich bereits früh. Das Ausmaß der Auswirkungen, insbesondere kumulativ über die lang anhaltende Zeit der Pandemie, ist für Deutschland noch nicht umfassend untersucht worden. Ziel der Arbeit Ziel der Studie war es, psychische Belastungen sowie COVID-19-bezogene Erlebens- und Verhaltensweisen zu erheben und deren Veränderung über die verschiedenen Phasen der Pandemie in Deutschland darzustellen. Material und Methoden In die deutschlandweite onlinebasierte Querschnittsstudie (10.03.–27.07.2020) konnten 22.961 Menschen eingeschlossen werden (Convenience Sample). Erhoben wurden: generalisierte Angst (GAD-7), Depression (PHQ-2), psychischer Distress (DT) sowie COVID-19-bezogene Erlebens- und Verhaltensweisen wie COVID-19-bezogene Angst, Vertrauen in staatliche Maßnahmen, subjektives Informiertheitslevel, adhärentes Sicherheitsverhalten und persönliche Risikoeinschätzung für Ansteckung/Erkrankungsschwere. Die Pandemie wurde retrospektiv in 5 Phasen (Anfangs‑, Krisen‑, Lockdown‑, Neuorientierungsphase und „neue Normalität“) eingeteilt. Ergebnisse Es zeigten sich im Vergleich zu Prä-COVID-19-Referenzwerten anhaltend erhöhte Werte in GAD‑7, PHQ‑2 und DT. COVID-19-bezogene Angst, Informiertheitslevel, Vertrauen, Sicherheitsverhalten und die Einschätzung, an COVID-19 zu erkranken, zeigten, nach initial starkem Anstieg, einen Abfall bis z. T. unter den Ausgangswert. Ausnahme waren konstante Einschätzungen, einen schweren Verlauf von COVID-19 zu haben bzw. daran zu versterben. Diskussion Die durch alle Pandemiephasen anhaltend erhöhten Werte psychischer Belastung verdeutlichen die Notwendigkeit nachhaltiger Unterstützungsangebote. Sinkende Werte in Bezug auf Vertrauen in staatliche Maßnahmen und das subjektive Informiertheitslevel unterstreichen das Gebot gezielter Aufklärung.

“…Our CCF emphasised functioning as a mass isolation facility to provide basic medical care and surveillance for COVID-19 patients who were largely well and ambulant; reliance on patient ownership and empowerment through basic health education and self-directed vital sign measurements; looking after the psychological well-being of the patients. A similar patient profile is seen across the CCFs in Singapore [ 19 , 20 ].…”

“…During the month's duration of operation at the CCF@Big Box, only 2.3% (31 of 1341) of patients required transfers back to restructured hospitals for further management. This was comparable to the slightly higher rate of 3.6% (n = 136) of patients requiring transfer back to acute hospitals seen at the CCF@Expo managed by Singhealth [20]. The CCF managed by Woodlands Health Campus reported a transfer-out rate of 0.37%; however, there was no available detail regarding whether this was inclusive of the patients in CCF@Expo managed by Singhealth [19].…”

Globally, the capacity of healthcare systems across continents has been strained and put to the test with the emergence of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The timely need to ensure the availability of healthcare facilities to isolate and manage the surge in COVID-19 cases without overwhelming existing hospital capacity has posed challenges in many countries. In this paper, we discuss the conceptualisation, preparations and operationalisation of a community healthcare facility that was set up within a short time frame to attend to the convalescent needs of a large number of COVID-19 patients in the early phase of handling the pandemic. In the first month of operations, we monitored a total of 2129 clinical encounters, with the majority of patients between 17–35 years of age and between day 2 to day 6 of illness upon admission. Overall, there was a good outcome for the patients, with only 2.3% requiring transfer back to restructured hospitals. There was also no mortality. We hope that the sharing of our experiences of the challenges and learning lessons gleaned may be useful to guide individuals in planning for the future preparedness of healthcare systems in managing pandemics.
