“…Pandemic daily life contributed to lower moods among Poles. This is confirmed by research conducted on a sample of 595 adults (80% women and 20% men) [ 25 ]. Earlier Polish studies also pointed to such a trend [ 26 ].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic is related to changes in rates of suicide and suicide attempts in many countries, and some differences have been observed regarding the prevalence of suicidal behaviours in different age and gender groups. The aim of this study is to analyse the number of suicides and suicide attempts per 100,000 people between 2019 and 2021 in Poland. Using police and government data on suicide and suicide attempts in Poland, three age categories were investigated: 13–24 years old, 25–65 years old, and above 65 years old, and the analysis encompassed the whole population and the populations of men and women separately. Study results indicated an increase in suicide attempts in the two younger age categories (aged 7–24 years and 25–65 years) between 2021 and 2019–2020. There was an increase in suicide among women in all age categories during the study period, whilst no increase was observed in suicide in men in any age group. The differences in the prevalence of suicide and attempted suicide in Poland during the COVID-19 pandemic in different age and gender groups indicate the need for tailored suicide prevention activities.

“…The most obvious corporeal effects of the pandemic were complications after contracting the COVID-19 disease. However, it affected everyone, including those who were not ill. Polish children and adolescents, abruptly cut off from their peer environment (Panda et al, 2021), were noted to have lower mood and higher levels of depressive and anxiety disorders (Twardowska-Staszek et al, 2021). Similar results have come from studies conducted in other countries (Brooks et al, 2020).…”

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of the article is to analyze the impact of the sound environment on human well-being during rapid changes to the audiosphere. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: What changes in the audiosphere took place during the lockdown? How were they perceived by the respondents, taking into account their well- being? The research material was free-form interviews focused on the problem, with elements of expert interviews conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The research analysis focused on the respondents’ perception of changes in the audiosphere during the lockdown and the impact of these changes on their well-being. Attention was paid to the similarities and differences in the perception of the sound environment and the reasons for these differences. RESEARCH RESULTS: All interviewees reported changes in the sound environment during the pandemic and an impact on their well-being. The intensity of changes varied, depending on the place of residence and previous lifestyle. In addition to the negative changes, there were positive ones, such as less traffic noise, more sounds of nature, and new inspiring sound phenomena. The psychological (focusing on oneself and one’s body, encouragement to meditation) and artistic (artistic inspiration) potential of the new sound environment was noted. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The reflective potential brought about by the changes to the audiosphere during the pandemic has not yet been used. Experiences from the pandemic can help care for the soundscape and plan possible modifications to it in order to improve people’s health and well-being. More research on functioning after returning to the previous sound environment is needed. If a similar situation is repeated, its educational and psychoeducational potential should be used.

“…For many people, the sense of threat to their own health and that of their loved ones presented by the pandemic could have intensified feelings of distress, as well as depression and anxiety symptoms [27,28], with young adults being particularly vulnerable [29]. Prolonged exposure to a strong stressor, as in the initial phases of the pandemic, was found to intensify negative emotions such as fear, worry, shame, guilt and nervousness [30,31], particularly in young adults, and this phenomenon has been increasingly studied [32][33][34]. The psychological consequences of the pandemic may well persist for many years in this group, who did not manage to acquire adaptive coping strategies before the outbreak [35,36].…”

Aim of the studyThe aim of the study is to determined the relationships between symptoms of depression,and the levels of stress,anxiety and job satisfaction among ContactCentre employees and internal employees.The study also examines whether the place of work(remote work vs.office work)differentiates these participants regarding experienced anxiety, depression symptoms,job satisfaction.Subject or material and methodsThe study was conducted from October2021 to March2022.It included a total of 61 people aged between 18-45,employed at a Polish bank. Mental state and job satisfaction were assessed using the Job Satisfaction Scale(SSP),PerceivedStressScale(PSS-10),State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and BeckDepressionInventor(BDI).ResultsNo statistically significant differences in the intensity of perceived stress or symptoms of depression and anxiety were found between the Internal and Contact Centre employees;however, poorer mental functioning was noted in the latter group.The level of job satisfaction in the studied groups significantly correlated with the severity of depressive symptoms(R=-0.427;p<0.001),intensity of perceived stress(R=-0.484,p<0.001),level of anxiety as a state(R=-0.468;p<0.001) and as a trait(R=-0.423,p<0.001).DiscussionPeople working in the home office mode obtained significantly higher scores for experienced stress, state and trait anxiety and depressive symptoms compared to people working in the hybrid mode, and significantly higher scores in terms of state anxiety than office workers.Conclusions1.Contact Centre employees did not differ from internal employees in terms of experienced levels of stress or symptoms of depression and anxiety.2.Working from home can increase the level of perceived stress and symptoms of depression and anxiety among employees.3.More severe depressive and anxiety symptoms and greater perceived stress are associated with a lower perceived level of job satisfaction among young adults.
