“…Several studies reported that fear of infection to Covid-19 might result in deteriorating mental health (Hossain et al, 2020;Ahorsu et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2020) though they did not assess the impact of confirmed cases on mental health. Previous studies (i.e., pre-COVID-19) showed similar findings that any family member's hospitalization increased depression and anxiety (Belayachi et al, 2013;Fonseca et al, 2019).…”

Introduction: The COVID-19 outbreak has become a challenging crisis for public health. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the indefinite closure of educational institutions in Bangladesh has a severe impact on the mental health of students. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate factors that might have considerable influence on the mental health of students during quarantine in Bangladesh though they did not explore in previous studies on mental health status during the pandemic. Methodology: A standardized questionnaire was generated using PH9 and GAD7 to measure depression and anxiety levels. A total of 203 responses were collected from university students of Bangladesh through social media. Results: Descriptive statistics found that 37% of the students experienced moderate to severe anxiety while 54% faced moderate to severe depression. Ordinal Logistic Regression analysis found that anxiety is significantly related to gender, students’ current affiliation status in university (e.g., sophomore, masters), and time spent on watching TV while depression was related to family member’s contact with Covid-19, performing multiple activities as hobbies, and spending time in reading and writing. Conclusions: This study adds valuable findings in the existing literature, and it will help Students, university authorities, and government can take productive steps to tackle mental health issues

“…Other studies have explored family members' characteristics as possible predictors of PICS-F and determined that the female gender, 20,22,24,25 a young age, 22,23,26 a conjugal relationship with the patient, 20,21 cohabitation with the patient, 23 the presence of a pre-existing mental health disorder(s) 25 and recent personal experience of serious physical illness 25 all appear to predispose family members to PICS-F.…”

“…This finding is consistent with the findings of prior studies that have established such symptoms to be common in the family members of ICU patients, with the reported prevalence rates ranging from 15% to 74%. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Interestingly, 61.6% of family members reported a history of anxiety, depression or other psychiatric disorders in the socio-demographic questionnaire. This higher prevalence, when compared to anxiety/depression measured with the HADS score (24%), may be justified by the fact that the HADS score explores only manifestations of anxiety and depression, leaving out other psychiatric disorders.…”

Background The family members of intensive care unit (ICU) patients play a crucial role in modern ICUs. These individuals are predisposed to the development of post-intensive care syndrome in family members (PICS-F), a syndrome experienced by family members of ICU patients in response to critical illness and characterised by new or worsening psychological symptoms. This study sought to evaluate the levels of anxiety and depression exhibited by the family members of patients hospitalised in the ICU. It also aimed to identify the risk factors associated with the experience of PICS-F, which should assist with its prevention in the future. Methods The study sample comprised 164 ICU patients and their family members. Sociodemographic data were gathered at the time of ICU admission and 3 months after discharge, and the family members were screened for emotional distress using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Comparison tests were used to test for an association between family/patient characteristics and a positive HADS score. In addition, a multivariable logistic regression model was constructed to identify the independent factors associated with a positive HADS score. Results Emotional distress was identified in 24% of the family members 3 months after their relatives had been discharged from the ICU. A number of personal traits were found to be associated with emotional distress in the family members, namely unemployment ( p = .008), smoking/drinking habits ( p = .036) and personal history of psychopathology ( p = .045). In the multiple logistic regression analyses, only unemployment was found to be an independent factor associated with both anxiety and depression in the family members (OR = 2.74, CI 95%: 1.09–6.93). No association was found between the patients’ characteristics and emotional distress in the family members. Conclusions The findings of this study indicate an association between emotional distress in the family members of ICU patients and their personal traits, thereby building on the prior literature by suggesting that patient characteristics are less pertinent to the experience of PICS-F. Unemployment may represent a meaningful risk factor for emotional distress in family members (a potential marker of PICS-F), given its relationship with family members’ positive HADS scores post-ICU discharge. These findings should influence preventative strategies concerning PICS-F by illustrating the need to assess family characteristics and demographics early in a patient’s ICU stay and, consequently, allowing for the early identification of at-risk individuals and the prompt implementation of adequate support services.

Objective: To evaluate the classification and factors associated with anxiety and/or depression in mothers of newborns in a neonatal intensive care unit and elaborate the nursing process after psychological testing. Method: A study conducted with 91 mothers of newborns in intensive care of northeastern maternity, through a Beck anxiety and depression characterization and inventory form. Results: Majority with severe anxiety (93.4%) and moderate depression (50.5%). There was statistical significance between anxiety with planned pregnancy (p=0.022) and vaginal delivery route (p=0.028), as well as depression with abortion (p=0.027) and mechanical ventilation (p=0.017). Conclusion: Route of delivery, unpaid occupation, income, kangaroo method adhering, supplementation, schooling, planned pregnancy, gestational age of birth and newborn weight impact emotional instability. Social support stands out as a protective factor for symptoms of anxiety and depression.
