“…Thus, as the pandemic progresses, reports indicate a decline in psychiatric admissions and inpatient care, while patients are discharged as early as possible and the decision to stay in intensive psychiatric care is based on the level of immediate risk to self or others (10,11). Previous researchers have shared their experience and knowledge of caring for patients in this context, aiming at minimizing the spread of infection under these circumstances (7,8,12). In order to guide clinicians and policy makers about the multifaceted consequences of psychiatric hospitalization during the pandemic, it seems crucial to assess not only the risks, but also the potential mental health bene ts.…”

Background& AimesPsychiatric admissions during the covid-19 pandemic were limited ignoring their possible benefit. The study focused on assessing the effect of the fear of covid on the mental health and well-being of in-patients as opposed to outpatients MethodsDuring the first lockdown, forty-four in-patients and day care patients (in-patient group) and 74 outpatients (out-patient group) were recruited after an informed consent procedure. Fear from the infection was assed using the Fear of COVID-19 (FCV-19S), severity of mental health symptomatology was evaluated with the outcome questionnaire-45 (OQ-45)., wellbeing was assessed with the Psychological well-being scale (PWB).OutcomesThere was no difference between the in-patient group and out-patient group in their fear of COVID-19 levels. FCV-19 predicted changes in the outpatient OQ total score (B=2.21, p<0.001), OQ interpersonal relation subscale (B=0.34, p=0.01), PWB total score (B=-0.05, p<0.001), PWB environmental mastery subscale (B=-.07, p<0.001) and PWB positive relation subscale (B=-0.05, p<0.001), but not in the inpatient group.ConclusionsMental health and well-being of the out-patient group that had less therapeutic contact –unlike the in-patient group-correlated with the fear of covid. Supporting the hypothesis that intensive psychiatric therapy had a protective effect from the mental health consequences of “fear of covid”.

Long-stay institutions have been considerably affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed to assess the mental health of clients and staff as well as quality and safety of care in long-stay institutions during the state-of-emergency in the Czech Republic in response to COVID-19 pandemic. We found a high prevalence of poor mental health outcomes in clients (46% poor well-being, 58% depression, 45% anxiety) and staff (17% poor well-being, 22% depression, 14% anxiety). In clients, COVID-19 health-related and economic worries were associated with depression (1.79, 95% CI = 1.14; 2.8 and 2.28, 95% CI = 1.27; 4.08 respectively) and anxiety (1.63, 95% CI = 1.11; 2.4 and 1.85, 95% CI = 1.2; 2.85 respectively) and in staff with any mental health outcome (1.92, 95% CI = 1.33; 2.77 and 1.75, 95% CI = 1.15; 2.66 respectively). Lack of information and communication from authorities, lack of protective equipment and logistic difficulties were reported as challenges. Delivery of care was mostly disrupted as well as admission and discharge processes. Other reported issues included lack of staff, lack of activities for patients or an increase in usage of restrictive measures. Best practices and key future measures were identified by each institution, a summary of which is presented in the article.
