Background: The psychological impact of the COronaVIrus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak and lockdown measures on the Italian population are unknown. The current study assesses rates of mental health outcomes in the Italian general population three to 4 weeks into lockdown measures and explores the impact of COVID-19 related potential risk factors. Methods: A web-based survey spread throughout the internet between March 27 th and April 6 th 2020. Eighteen thousand one hundred forty-seven individuals completed the questionnaire, 79.6% women. Selected outcomes were post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), depression, anxiety, insomnia, perceived stress, and adjustment disorder symptoms (ADS). Seemingly unrelated logistic regression analysis was performed to identify COVID-19 related risk factors. Results: Endorsement rates for PTSS were 6,604 (37%), 3,084 (17.3%) for depression, 3,700 (20.8%) for anxiety, 1,301 (7.3%) for insomnia, 3,895 (21.8%) for high perceived stress and 4,092 (22.9%) for adjustment disorder. Being woman and younger age were associated with all of the selected outcomes. Quarantine was associated with PTSS, anxiety and ADS. Any recent COVID-related stressful life event was associated with all the selected outcomes. Discontinued working activity due to the COVID-19 was associated with all the selected outcomes, except for ADS; working more than usual was associated with PTSS, Perceived stress and ADS. Having a loved one deceased by COVID-19 was associated with PTSS, depression, perceived stress, and insomnia. Conclusion: We found high rates of negative mental health outcomes in the Italian general population 3 weeks into the COVID-19 lockdown measures and different COVID

“…The Global Psychotrauma Screen (GPS) developed by the ‘Global Collaboration on Traumatic Stress’ (Olff et al, 2020 ; Schnyder et al, 2017 ), a brief and freely available measure, can be administered after different types of potential traumatic events. It consists of 22 items, 17 symptom items and 5 risk or protective factors, each to be answered in a yes/no format (Olff & Bakker, 2016 ).…”

“…Its items were wherever possible compiled from existing measures such as the Primary Care PTSD Screen for DSM-5 (PC-PTSD-5, Prins et al., 2016 ) for PTSD symptoms and the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4, Kroenke, Spitzer, Williams, & Löwe, 2009 ) for anxiety and depression symptoms. For a description of the development of the GPS see Olff et al ( 2020 ) and www.global-psychotrauma.net/gps . The 17 symptom items assess: PTSD symptoms; affective dysregulation and negative self-concept; depression symptoms; anxiety symptoms; dissociation; sleep problems; self-injurious behaviour; substance abuse; and other problems (physical, emotional, or social).…”

“…The GPS was developed in the context of a project by the ‘Global Collaboration on Traumatic Stress’, whose steering committee consists of representatives from all major traumatic stress societies (Olff et al, 2020 ; Schnyder et al., 2017 ). There was the need for a simple, cross-culturally valid, and easy to administer screener appropriate for use in a variety of trauma-exposed samples (Olff et al, 2020 ).…”

Background: The impact of traumatic experiences or adverse life experiences has been shown to potentially affect a wide range of mental health outcomes. However, there was no brief instrument to screen for a range of psychological problems in different domains after a potentially traumatic event, and for risk factors and protective factors. Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the internal consistency and concurrent validity of the Japanese version of the Global Psychotrauma Screen (GPS) in a traumatized sample in Japan. Method: A total sample (n = 58) with varying levels of potential posttrauma symptoms due to domestic violence or other events were recruited into this study. Self-rating measures of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and alcohol problems were conducted to investigate the concurrent validity. Results: The results show that a range of posttrauma symptoms assessed by the GPS were highly endorsed by this traumatized sample in all domains except for self-harm, derealization, and depersonalization. The GPS sum score was highly correlated (r > 0.79) with other measures of PTSD, depression, and anxiety symptoms. Also, the subdomain scores showed acceptable correlations with corresponding domain measures. Participants who had been sexually assaulted or had unwanted sexual experiences, and participants who had been physically assaulted during childhood, had higher scores on the total GPS and on subdomains of PTSD, as well as symptoms associated with Complex PTSD. Conclusions: This study provides an initial indication that the GPS may be a useful screening tool for trauma survivors and elucidates that the consequences of trauma are not limited to PTSD. Tamizaje de síntomas asociados con trauma psicológico: traducción japonesa y prueba piloto del mapeo global de psicotrauma Antecedentes: Se ha demostrado que el impacto de las experiencias traumáticas o de las experiencias vitales adversas tiene el potencial de comprometer la salud mental dentro de un amplio rango de consecuencias. Sin embargo, no existía ningún instrumento breve para tamizar una variedad de problemas psicológicos, en diferentes dominios, después de un evento potencialmente traumático, ni para los factores de riesgo, ni para los factores protectores. Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio es el de examinar la consistencia interna y la validez concurrente de la versión japonesa del Mapeo Global de Psicotrauma (GPS, por sus siglas en ingles) en una muestra de personas traumatizadas en Japón. Método: Para este estudio, se reclutó una muestra total (n=58) con distintos niveles de síntomas postraumáticos potenciales secundarios a violencia domestica u otros eventos. Para investigar la validez concurrente, se realizaron mediciones auto reportadas para el trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT), la depresión, la ansiedad y para problemas asociados al consumo de alcohol. Resultados: Los resultados muestran que un espectro de síntomas postraumáticos, evaluados mediante el GPS, se encontraba altamente vinculado a esta ...

This work presents trends and comparisons that show a change in the consumption and production of video games in times of confinement due to the health emergency. The video game industry has modified its philosophy and adapted its products to the new requirements and trends of consumers who see in this activity a way to appease the psychological and social impact due to quarantine and isolation. There is evidence of a 65% increase in the use of online video games, which has broken a world record. Products that have new aspects and considerations never before proposed by this great industry have been developed and offered, such as thematic games related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
