“…COVID-19 proved to be heterogeneous in its clinical course, as what have made the clinicians puzzled; the majority of SARS-CoV-2 infected patients (nearly 80%) show, if not asymptomatic, a range of mild to moderate symptoms (e.g., cough, fever, etc) which do not require hospitalization. Of the rest 20%, half of the COVID-19 patients may develop severe pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and/or multi-organ failure; but, although the underlying mechanism has not been clearly resolved, a mistimed and inadequate antiviral response is supposed to be the reason behind COVID-19 pathogenesis ( Lei et al, 2020 ; Maddah and Modanloo, 2020 ; Mckechnie and Blish, 2020 ; Mokhtari et al, 2020 ). Notably, SARS-CoV-2 infection may contribute to unbalanced immune response, characterized by low levels of type I and III interferons (IFN) expression together with a superfluous pro-inflammatory cytokine response; the latter, so-called as cytokine storm, accompanied by impaired adaptive host responses has been blamed for extensive local and systemic tissue damages in severe cases of COVID-19 ( Balajelini et al, 2020 ; Blanco-Melo et al, 2020 ; Catanzaro et al, 2020 ; Zhou et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Several studies have analysed the effectiveness of these interventions on sleep quality in hospitalised patients (Daneshmandi et al, 2012; Dave et al, 2015; Hu et al, 2010, 2015; Le Guen et al, 2014; Maddah & Modanloo, 2020; Yazdannik et al, 2014). Yazdannik et al showed that using eye masks and earplugs was effective on the three dimensions of the VSH Sleep Scale in patients admitted to the ICU of Isfahan (Yazdannik et al, 2014), which is consistent with our present results.…”

Sleep is an essential need for patients admitted to coronary care units. The present clinical trial aimed to determine the effect of using eye masks and earplugs on the sleep quality of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). A total of 68 eligible patients with CHD were randomly allocated into four groups of 17 (control, eye masks, earplugs, and eye masks with earplugs). All three interventions were performed during the night from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. the next day. The outcomes were the quality of sleep, measured by the Verran and Snyder-Halpern (VSH) Sleep Scale, and the urinary levels of nocturnal melatonin and cortisol, measured by urine samples taken during the night (from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.). The study outcomes were measured on the third and fourth days. Sleep disturbance was statistically significantly lower in patients with earplugs (visual analogue scale mean difference [MD]: 74.31 mm, SE:11.34, p = 0.001). Sleep effectiveness was statistically significantly higher in patients with eye mask (MD: 36.88 mm, SE: 8.75, p = 0.001). The need for sleep supplementation was statistically significantly lower in patients with eye masks (MD: 39.79 mm, SE: 7.23, p = 0.001). There was a significant difference in melatonin levels between eye masks and the control group (p = 0.03). For urinary cortisol levels, there were significant differences between eye masks and the control group (p = 0.007), earplugs and the control group (p = 0.001), and eye masks with earplugs and the control group (p = 0.006). The mean scores for comfort, effectiveness, and ease of use were highest for the group that used eye masks (2.88, 2.94, and 3.18, respectively). As a result, all three interventions improved the sleep quality of patients. However, the interventions had different effects on the three dimensions of the VSH Sleep Scale, as well as the urinary levels of cortisol and melatonin.

“…Standard recommendations for preventing the infection such as handwashing, wearing masks, and maintaining social distancing are vital. However, social media being the main source of news and information today, most people are also exposed to inaccurate and fake information online that can develop or amplify fear and anxiety among them [9,14]. However, based on research evidence, patients felt most assured when healthcare providers were the source of information [2].…”

Background: Healthcare providers are high-risk groups for the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection. Nursing students are an essential part of high-risk healthcare providers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of nursing and midwifery students at Golestan University of Medical Sciences (GOUMS) toward the prevention of COVID-19. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 174 nursing and midwifery students of GOUMS (northeast of IRAN) in 2020. Data were gathered using an online questionnaire comprising three parts – Knowledge (8 questions), Attitude (10 questions), and Practice (8 questions) toward the prevention of COVID-19. The range of scores in each subscale (knowledge, attitude, and preventive practices) were 8–24, 10–50, and 8–24, respectively. Data were analyzed using the SPSS v.16 software. The Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used for the analysis. Results: Overall, in this study, nursing and midwifery students had a good knowledge (mean score: 23.19 ± 2.56), a positive attitude (mean score: 45.48 ± 4.21), and appropriate practice (mean score: 23.30 ± 3.51) regarding COVID-19 prevention. Also, the results revealed a positive correlation between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.1, P = 0.18) and attitude and practice (r = 0.2, P = 0.01) among the students. Conclusion: The findings demonstrated a good preventive knowledge, attitude, and practice toward COVID-19 among nursing and midwifery students.
