“…12,13 We observed higher prevalence of mental disorders in Covid-19 infected patients, particularly anxiety and depression. Similar findings are observed by Alamri HS et al 10 and Alodhayani AA et al 11 A recent study observed psychological instability among Covid-19 infected patients that was most likely attributed to physical isolation from family members or loved ones during hospitalization or quarantine. 14 Another study reported high rates of PTSD are among Covid-19 infected people after discharge from the hospital.…”

Background: Numerous studies revealed mental health disorders among general population and healthcare workers during Covid-19 pandemic. However, fewer data are available on mental health status of Covid-19 infected patients. Present study was aimed to survey Covid-19 infected Saudi cohort for common mental health disorders. Objective: To determine the frequency of common mental health disorders (anxiety, depression, insomnia and post-traumatic stress disorders [PTSD]) in Covid-19 infected Saudi cohort. Design: Descriptive cross-sectional. Settings: King Fahd Armed Forces Hospital Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (ksa) during March to April 2021 Patients and Methods: The population of the study comprised of cohort of confirmed Covid-19 infected patients (n=310) managed at King Fahd Armed Forces Hospital Jeddah, KSA. The GAD-7 score was used to assess anxiety; Patient Health Questionnaire-9 for depression, Impact of Event Scale–revised for PTSD and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) was used to assess insomnia. Results: The most frequent mental health disorder found in the present study was anxiety (77.1%) followed by clinically significant depression (36.1%), insomnia (33.9%), and PTSD (21.6%). Individuals with lower level of education demonstrated one and half fold higher risk of having anxiety (OR of 1.54, 95% CI: 1.006-2.343, P=0.047) and widows demonstrated 2-fold higher risk of developing insomnia (OR of 1.7, 95% CI: 1.028-2.80, P=0.039). No other significant association observed. Conclusions: A significant proportion of Covid-19 infected Saudi cohort demonstrated mental health disorders, though of mild degree in majority of the participants. Individuals with lower level of education and widows manifested higher risk of developing anxiety and insomnia, respectively.

Objective: To understand the depression, anxiety, stress and other mental health conditions of personnel undergoing hospital isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic and the influencing factors. Methods: This was retrospective study. A total of 120 personnel undergoing Baoding No.1 Hospital isolation who completed the questionnaires were included from June 10, 2021 to February 07, 2022. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9), the Generalized Anxiety Scale (GAD7) and psychological stress measurement table (PSTR) were used for psychological problem screening for personnel undergoing hospital isolation. Results: The incidence of depression was the lowest, while that of stress was the highest. The difference in the incidence of depression, anxiety and stress among personnel undergoing hospital isolation with different gender, age, income statuses, marital statuses and attitude towards isolation was statistically significant (p< 0.05), while the difference in the incidence of these problems among personnel with different degree of education was not statistically significant(p> 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age, gender, marital status, economic status and attitude towards isolation are factors associated with stress. Economic status and attitude towards isolation are factors associated with depression. A high economic level is a protective factor against depression, while a negative attitude is a risk factor for depression. Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, anxiety, depression and stress increased to different extents in personnel undergoing hospital isolation, especially in females with poor economic conditions and poor attitudes towards isolation. Therefore, necessary psychological counseling and social support should be provided to these people. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.40.3.7511 How to cite this: Wang B, Li L, Liu J, Zhan B.

“…Several instruments in the scientific literature have been used to assess anxiety and depression [99] The HADS was created 30 years ago by Zigmond and Snaith to identify symptoms of anxiety and depression in non-psychiatric inpatients and later on in outpatients and other types of patients [100]. The HADS has been validated for use in Brazil by [101], and it is short and takes a few minutes to complete while waiting for an appointment with the doctor.…”

Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a widespread, highly contagious inflammatory process that causes respiratory, physical and psychological dysfunction. COVID-19 mainly affects the respiratory system and evolves in the acute phase from mild cases with common symptoms, such as fever, cough, and fatigue, to the moderate-to-severe form, causing massive alveolar damage resulting in dyspnea and hypoxemia that can rapidly progress to pneumonia, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. The acute form usually causes severe pulmonary sequelae such as pulmonary fibrosis or progression to organ failure, leading to worsening metabolic dysfunction and/or death. Purpose To verify the effects of an outpatient and home pulmonary rehabilitation program (PRP) on clinical symptoms, pulmonary function, physical activity level, functional status, autonomic activity, peripheral muscle strength, static and functional balance, functional mobility, anxiety and depression, post-traumatic stress, quality of life, and survival of patients with sequelae from COVID-19. Methods This study will be a cohort, parallel, two-arm multicentric study, to be carried out in three clinical centers, with blind evaluation, with 06 weeks of training and follow-up. This study was designed according to the recommendations of the CONSORT statement. To be involved in this clinical study, according to the inclusion criteria, women and men aged between 16 and 75 years affected by COVID-19. The proposed PRP is based on the guidelines recommended by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease and, consists of a combination of aerobic and muscle strengthening exercises, lasting six weeks, with a frequency of three times a week. Discussion In patients infected with COVID-19 with persistent symptoms and sequelae, PRP mainly seeks to improve dyspnea, relieve anxiety and depression, prevent, and reduce complications and/or dysfunctions, reduce morbidity and mortality, and improve health-related quality of life. Trial registration: This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (ID: COVID-19 PULMONARY REHAB NCT04982042).
