“…Understanding the barriers and facilitators of telehealth for patients and providers is critical, as telehealth may continue to be a widely used platform for mental health services beyond the current pandemic. To sustain quality of care, the healthcare system must play an active role in preventing burnout among mental health providers by reexamining workload and productivity expectations, managing burdensome virtual work responsibilities, and offering supportive interventions such as access to childcare 27 …”

Objective To understand: (1) psycho‐oncology providers' perspectives on and observations of the psychological responses of their cancer patients during the pandemic, and (2) psycho‐oncology providers' own experiences delivering care. Methods In this concurrent mixed methods study, a survey was distributed to psychosocial providers who were members of the American Psychosocial Oncology Society (APOS). Survey respondents were invited to participate in a one‐on‐one audio‐recorded interview via phone or secure Zoom®. Results seventy‐six self‐identified psycho‐oncology providers responded to the survey and 11 participated in a one‐on‐one interview. Approximately half reported that patients responded in unique ways to COVID‐19 stress relative to other populations. Three themes emerged from qualitative analyses: (1) unique burden on patients, (2) cancer patients' pandemic response and its relationship to their cancer experience, and (3) unexpected positive changes. Providers emphasized that the cancer experience may have prepared patients for the existential distress of the pandemic and described patients' resiliency. Two themes emerged regarding delivery of care: (1) new professional and personal challenges and (2) provider resiliency. Conclusions Although providers observed that the pandemic placed new burdens on patients, they emphasized that the cancer experience may have prepared patients for the existential distress of the pandemic and described patients' resiliency. To overcome challenges, psycho‐oncology providers used innovative strategies to support patients and foster their own mental health.

Objective: To review the most common mental health strategies aimed at alleviating and/or preventing mental health problems in individuals during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and other coronavirus pandemics. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of the literature assessing three databases (PubMed, SCOPUS, and PsycINFO). A meta-analysis was performed with data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). For non-RCT studies, a critical description of recommendations was performed. Results: From a total of 2,825 articles, 125 were included. Of those, three RCTs were included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis revealed that the interventions promoted better overall mental health outcomes as compared to control groups (standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.87 [95%CI 0.33-1.41], p o 0.001, I 2 = 69.2%), but did not specifically improve anxiety (SMD = 0.98 [95%CI -0.17 to 2.13], p 4 0.05; I 2 = 36.8%). Concerning the systematic review, we found a large body of scientific literature proposing recommendations involving psychological/psychiatric interventions, self-care, education, governmental programs, and the use of technology and media. Conclusions: We found a large body of expert recommendations that may help health practitioners, institutional and governmental leaders, and the general population cope with mental health issues during a pandemic or a crisis period. However, most articles had a low level of evidence, stressing the need for more studies with better design (especially RCTs) investigating potential mental health interventions during COVID-19.

“…How this is impacted by the current pandemic is only beginning to be explored and understood. Specifically for the remote environment, research by Gallup 4 indicates that managers need to be especially attuned to the physical wellness needs of employees who are working remotely due to the coronavirus. Additionally, mental health has been found to be of considerable importance for many newly remote teams.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed many challenges for academic and research libraries and those working within them. Nearly everything that we do has been questioned and re-envisioned, and our days are filled with new work, uncertainty, and isolation. Because of this, one of the areas that library leaders must invest in re-envisioning is how we can best support the well-being and morale of our library colleagues. This article identifies and discusses simple, informal, practical, and easy strategies that library leaders can use to support the physical, emotional, spiritual, professional, social, and mental well-being of their teams in remote and hybrid working environment.
