“…Since the virus has a high rate of spreading from person to person, it causes pressure in personal relationships, and the anxiety increases due to uncertainties regarding how long the pandemic will last and how long its effects will continue. 5,15 Feelings of anxiety and stress in daily life during the pandemic also have negative effects on psychological wellbeing. 9,16 It has been reported in the literature that women are exposed to more stress; they experience psychological problems more commonly; and, compared with men, the prevalence of life-long depression among women is 1.7 to 2.7 times higher.…”

BACKGROUND: The rapid spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has led to extraordinary measures taken worldwide and has led to serious psychological disorders. With the measures taken, the difficulties in women's daily lives are increasing exponentially. This situation has caused women to experience more mental health problems. OBJECTIVE: To identify the relationship between women's health anxiety and psychological wellbeing and the factors affecting these situations during the COVID-19 pandemic. DESIGN AND SETTING: Descriptive study conducted online among women living in Adana, Turkey. METHOD: This descriptive study was conducted among 623 married women between April 1 and April 20, 2020, using a SurveyMonkey online questionnaire. Data were collected using the link that was established. The questions comprised personal information, perceptions regarding the pandemic, the Health Anxiety Inventory (Short Form) and the Psychological Wellbeing Scale. RESULTS: The women who participated were found to have a high level of anxiety and a moderate level of psychological wellbeing. A positive, moderate-level relationship was found between the scales. CONCLUSIONS: The COVID-19 pandemic has had negative effects on both physical and psychological health. Support for women, to be provided within their holistic understanding of care, is of great importance for maintaining the psychological health of society.

“…Globally, efforts to contain the virus have led to widespread travel restrictions, physical distancing and work limitations, causing broad social and financial disruption that has been associated with substantial mental health effects. 5,6 During the COVID-19 pandemic, people have been reporting concerns about postpartum infection, 7 and difficulty accessing the extended postpartum social support networks and key community programs that protect against mental illness, such as home visits from public health nurses, breastfeeding clinics and support groups, owing to public health measures. 8 In Canadian surveys, about 50% of pregnant people reported psychological distress in spring 2020, 9 and alcohol use increased among women, particularly among those with young children.…”

Postpartum mental illness affects as many as 1 in 5 mothers, 1 and can result in maternal suffering and diminished functioning. 2 Related impaired mother-infant interactions are linked to poor social, cognitive and behavioural outcomes in children across their lifespan. 3 When mental illness becomes chronic and recurrent, its effects can extend to the entire family and across generations. 4 With emergence of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), the World Health Organization declared a global COVID-19 pandemic on Mar. 11, 2020. Globally, efforts to contain the virus have led to widespread travel restrictions, physical distancing and work limitations, causing broad social and financial disruption that has been associated with substantial mental health effects. 5,6 During the COVID-19 pandemic, people have been reporting concerns about postpartum infection, 7 and difficulty accessing the extended postpartum social support networks and key community programs that protect against mental illness, such as home visits from public health nurses, breastfeeding clinics and support groups, owing to public health measures. 8 In Canadian surveys, about 50% of pregnant people reported psychological distress in spring 2020, 9 and alcohol use increased among women, particularly among those with young children. 10 Whether this represents an increased clinical burden of mental illness or need for care is unknown.Using routinely collected health care data from Ontario, Canada, (population of about 14.6 million), we aimed to examine RESEARCHMENTAL HEALTH

“…The frightful mortality rates and detrimental health issues of the COVID-19 pandemic have stressed the need for addressing its impact on physical health so hugely that the severe negative implications it has posed on mental health have often been disregarded. The havoc created for the emergence of this undesired phenomenon has incited panic, anxiety and trauma-related disorders [7] . The reduced social interaction owing to preventive measures like quarantine, lockdown, social distancing have enforced loneliness, solitude, and other common risk factors to mental well-being.…”

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic is unarguably the biggest catastrophe of the 21st century, probably the most significant global crisis after the second world war. The rapid spreading capability of the virus has compelled the world population to maintain strict preventive measures. The outrage of the virus has rampaged through the healthcare sector tremendously. This pandemic created a huge demand for necessary healthcare equipment, medicines along with the requirement for advanced robotics and artificial intelligence-based applications. The intelligent robot systems have great potential to render service in diagnosis, risk assessment, monitoring, telehealthcare, disinfection, and several other operations during this pandemic which has helped reduce the workload of the frontline workers remarkably. The long-awaited vaccine discovery of this deadly virus has also been greatly accelerated with AI-empowered tools. In addition to that, many robotics and Robotics Process Automation platforms have substantially facilitated the distribution of the vaccine in many arrangements pertaining to it. These forefront technologies have also aided in giving comfort to the people dealing with less addressed mental health complicacies. This paper investigates the use of robotics and artificial intelligence-based technologies and their applications in healthcare to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. A systematic search following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method is conducted to accumulate such literature, and an extensive review on 147 selected records is performed.
