Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is prevalent around the world, and many studies suggest that depression among medical staff is on the rise during the pandemic. This study aims to assess the relationship between depressive symptoms and individual resilience among military hospital personnel responsible for treating patients with COVID-19. Individuals from the Armed Forces Daejeon Hospital who responded to the questionnaires from 8 February to 15 February 2022 participated in this study. Resilience and depressive symptoms were measured via the Korean Resilience Quotient Test-53 and Patient Health Questionnaire-9, respectively. We employed multivariable logistic regression analysis to estimate Odds Ratios (ORs) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs) of depressive symptoms. Among 181 participants, the individuals with depressive symptoms and high resilience accounted for 8.8% and 61.9%, respectively. Significant correlations between depressive symptoms and both the low resilience and low resilience positivity groups were found (adjusted OR 10.30 [95% CI 1.74–61.01] and OR 13.90 [95% CI 1.93–100.02], respectively). This study notes a significant inverse relationship between depressive symptoms and resilience even after adjusting for demographic and occupational characteristics. To overcome depressive symptoms among hospital personnel, it is necessary to seek ways to improve individual resilience, especially positivity.

“…In general, since COVID-19 is an unknown disease and no definitive cure has yet been found for it, patients with or suspected of COV-ID-19 are often frightened and anxious about the subsequent consequences of this deadly virus [6]. Meanwhile, people with chronic diseases are at greater risk for COVID-19 because they have a lower level of physical defense against the disease [4]. Elderly with PD in particular experience a great deal of anxiety that affects their mental health and may lead to mental and physical disorders.…”

“…While the widespread prevalence of COVID-19, severe restrictions, lack of definitive treatment, and high incidence and mortality rates have led to psychological disorders among the general population of the world [3]. However, studies indicate a higher prevalence of anxiety among people with chronic diseases [4]. In particular, diseases caused by nervous system defects, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), are highly vulnerable to COVID-19 [5].…”

Background and Aim: The COVID-19 has had several psychological and physical consequences, which have been more reported in people with chronic diseases, such as Parkinson’s Disease (PD). In this regard, this study reviewed all articles, which evaluated the mental health and quality of life of patients with PD during the COVID-19 epidemic. Methods and Materials/Patients: In this study, the keywords Parkinson’s disease, PD, Coronavirus 2019, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, mental health, quality of life, depression, stress, and anxiety were searched in the abstract and title of articles published between 2020 (May) and 2022 (April) in reputable international scientific databases of EMBASE, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and PsycINFO, PubMed, and Clarivate Analytics. The PRISMA checklist was used to review and control the quality of articles. Of the total 369 articles found, 21 articles were selected for review. Results: According to the studies, patients with PD had anxiety, depression, stress, poor sleep quality, death-related thoughts, fear, and cognitive, behavioral, and motor problems during the pandemic. Femininity, low level of education, and poverty were also among the factors exacerbating psychological disorders in PD patients. Decreased physical and social activity also reduced the quality of life in patients with PD. During home quarantine, many patients became concerned about access to medication and physicians, which exacerbated PD. Conclusion: According to studies, the outbreak of COVID-19 reduced the mental health and quality of life of patients with PD. Since having high mental health has an important role in increasing the immune system against various diseases, identifying and treating vulnerable groups can increase life expectancy in patients.

Context: In order to succeed in reducing the prevalence and treatment of preventable diseases through vaccines, immunization programs should be accompanied by the national vaccination process. Objectives: The present study was conducted to evaluate the psychological factors determining resistance to the injection of the COVID-19 vaccine. Data Sources: In this systematic review study, the keywords resistance, hesitancy, epidemic, vaccine, psychological determinants, anxiety, and stress in the titles and abstracts of articles published in 2020 (June) and 2022 (May) in reputable international scientific databases such as Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Scopus, PubMed, and ISI were searched. Results: Studies have shown that women of young age, low education, people with conspiratorial and paranoid thoughts, poor cognitive processing and decision-making, and people with depression, fear, and anxiety were highly resistant to the COVID-19 vaccine. In contrast, vaccine safety and efficacy levels, confidence, collective responsibility, and media literacy were associated with accepting the COVID-19 vaccine. Conclusions: According to studies, a significant number of people around the world are resistant to the vaccine. Since psychological factors such as anxiety, fear, and paranoid thoughts play an important role in people's resistance to the COVID-19 vaccine, improving health literacy and psychological health is essential.
