“…The highest score among the subscales was related to intrusive memories and the lowest was related to interpersonal problems among all members of the sample group. This means that the medical staff involved in the care of COVID‐19 patients, among the symptoms of PTSD, were more to have recollections of disturbing memories and thoughts about patients, which can have a serious and long‐term negative effect on their mental health and functioning (Kamran et al., 2020 ; Kamran et al., 2021b ; Moghadam et al., 2020 ; Naeim, 2021a ; Naeim & Rezaeisharif, 2021c ; Naeim et al., 2021 ; Rezaei et al., 2021 ).…”

Background The rapid outbreak of COVID‐19 at the beginning of 2020 in the world has put severe physical and psychological pressure on the medical staff of hospitals involved in the care of patients with COVID‐19 to the point of risk of PTSD. There was. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the prevalence of COVID‐19 and nurses' anxiety disorder. Methods This review study was conducted by library method. Results As is well known and mentioned everywhere in cyberspace, nurses have lost their mental health and become very anxious during the COVID‐19. Serious spread of traumatic psychiatric symptoms in the current situation can lead to damage to the health system. Conclusions The need to care for nurses to relieve fatigue for several months and inject hope and motivation into this group should be understood, But due to the economic situation of the country, unfortunately, the fulfillment of the promises has been delayed, which we hope will be fulfilled soon; Although the delay will certainly not prevent nurses from properly caring for patients, but resolving nurses ‘livelihood problems should also be a priority on the authorities’ agenda.

“…In summary, it is worth noting that despite the better psychological functioning of older adults in comparison to young adults during the pandemic, it is necessary to implement various forms of help to improve the psychological resources encouraging quality of life in older people, including stress reduction methods which focus on the body, such as breathing meditation and Autogenic Training (65)(66)(67)(68), as well as methods based on cognitive behavioral therapy (69).…”

Introduction: Psychological studies undertaken during the COVID-19 pandemic rarely include people in their 60s or older. In our study, we studied the predictors of quality of life, well-being, and life satisfaction (including risky behavior, trait anxiety, feeling of threat, sleep quality, and optimism) during the pandemic in older people from Germany and Poland and compared them to three different age groups. Methods: A total of 494 adults in four groups−60+ ( N = 60), 50–60 ( N = 139), 36–49 ( N = 155), <35 ( N = 140)—completed validated self-report questionnaires assessing: socio-demographic data, quality of life, trait anxiety, risk tolerance, Coronavirus threat, optimism regarding the pandemic, difficulty relaxing, life satisfaction, well-being, and sleep quality during the pandemic period. Results: Older people rated their quality of life higher than did young (mean difference=0.74, SE =0.19, p < 0.01) and middle-aged (mean difference=0.79, SE =0.18, p < 0.01) participants, rated their life satisfaction higher than young (mean difference=1.23, SE = 0.31, p < 0.01) and middle-aged (mean difference=0.92, SE = 0.30, p < 0.05) participants, and rated their well-being higher than young (mean difference=1.40, SE = 0.31, p < 0.01) and middle-aged (mean difference=0.91, SE = 0.31, p < 0.05) participants. They also experienced lower levels of trait anxiety and Coronavirus threat (mean difference=-9.19, SE = 1.90, p < 0.01) than the younger age groups. They experienced greater risk tolerance (mean difference=1.38, SE =0.33, p < 0.01), sleep quality ( F =1 .25; eta 2 = 0.01), and optimism ( F = 1.96; eta 2 = 0.01), and had less difficulty relaxing during the pandemic ( F = 3.75; eta 2 = 0.02) than middle-aged respondents. Conclusions: Quality of life, life satisfaction, and well-being during the pandemic is affected by age, trait anxiety, and Coronavirus threat. Older people rated their quality of life, life satisfaction, and well-being during pandemic higher than young people, and experienced lower levels of trait anxiety and Coronavirus threat than the younger age groups. They experienced greater risk tolerance, sleep quality, and optimism, and had less difficulty relaxing than middle-aged respondents.

“…In addition to psychological support, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) may provide positive effects on core PTSD symptoms. EMDR treatment (Lang, 1977;Bower, 1981) seems to obtain greater results (Moghadam et al, 2020). Reprocessing of eye movement desensitization leads people to overcome feelings of guilt, anxiety, and fear that are typical symptoms deriving from traumatic experiences in general.…”

Individual Differences, Economic Stability, and Fear of Contagion as Risk Factors for PTSD Symptoms in the COVID-19 Emergency

On January 30th 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 pandemic a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Italy has been one of the most affected countries in the world. To contain further spread of the virus, the Italian government has imposed an unprecedented long-period lockdown for the entire country. This dramatic scenario may have caused a strong psychological distress, with potential negative long-term mental health consequences. The aim of the present study is to report the prevalence of high psychological distress due to the COVID-19 pandemic on the general population, especially considering that this aspect is consistently associated with PTSD symptoms. Furthermore, the present study aims to identify the risk factors for high PTSD symptoms, including individual differences and subjective perception of both economic and psychological aspects. We administered an online survey to 1253 participants during the peak period of the contagion in Italy. A logistic regression on the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) scores was used to test the risk factors that predict the possibility to develop PTSD symptoms due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Gender (female), lower perceived economic stability, higher neuroticism, and fear and consequences of contagion were predictors of high PTSD symptomatology. The results, highlighted in the present study, extend our understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the population's mental health, by identifying individuals at high-risk of developing PTSD. This may help with the implementation of specific protocols to prevent the possibility of developing symptoms of PTSD in target populations.
