This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the extent of sleep disturbances during the COVID-19 pandemic. Eleven databases and six preprint repositories were searched for the period from November 1, 2019, to July 15, 2021. The DerSimonian and Laird method was used to develop random-effect meta-analyses. Two hundred and fifty studies comprising 493,475 participants from 49 countries were included. During COVID-19, the estimated global prevalence of sleep disturbances was 40.49% [37.56; 43.48%]. Bayesian meta-analysis revealed an odds of 0.68 [0.59; 0.77] which translates to a rate of approximately 41%. This provides reassurance that the estimated rate using classical meta-analysis is robust. Six major populations were identified; the estimated prevalence of sleep problem was 52.39% [41.69; 62.88%] among patients infected with COVID-19, 45.96% [36.90; 55.30%] among children and adolescents, 42.47% [37.95; 47.12%] among healthcare workers, 41.50% [32.98; 50.56%] among special populations with healthcare needs, 41.16% [28.76; 54.79%] among university students, and 36.73% [32.32; 41.38%] among the general population. Sleep disturbances were higher during lockdown compared to no lockdown, 42.49% versus 37.97%. Four in every ten individuals reported a sleep problem during the COVID-19 pandemic. Patients infected with the disease, children, and adolescents appeared to be the most affected groups.

“…All reports identified significant associations between measures of coping and anxiety levels in HCWs. Positive religious coping [ 41 ], self-efficacy coping [ 30 ], and approach (vs. avoidant) coping [ 53 ] were found to be protective factors while conversely negative vs. positive coping [ 52 ] and negative religious coping [ 41 ] were positively associated with symptoms of anxiety. Most prominent risk factors with regard to pandemic burden were increased workload [ 30 , 52 ], (work) stress [ 30 , 53 ], respiratory/digestive tract symptoms in the past two weeks [ 52 ], and perceiving multiple stressors [ 53 ].…”

“…Four cross-sectional studies [ 28 , 41 , 52 , 53 ] examined the association between various coping styles and symptoms of depression. Chen et al [ 52 ] reported a mostly negative coping style to be the most prominent risk factor for symptoms of depression in their step-by-step multiple logistic regression analysis among further variables such as an increase in workload, respiratory or digestive tract symptoms in the past two weeks, specific tests related to COVID-19, and symptoms of burnout in 902 HCWs (68.6% female).…”

“…In this case fear of infection and fear of contact overall showed beta-coefficients of -0.35 and 0.29 which might point to the clinical relevance of these variables. Lastly, Sharma et al [ 53 ] were able to show that in their cross-sectional analysis on 184 HCWs (58% female) approach (vs. avoidant) was a significant risk factor for symptoms of depression even though the effect was very small (aOR: 1.070 [1.010–1.134], p = 0.021). Anxiety and stress were found to be further risk factors while profession and number of (pandemic) stressors did not reach statistical significance in their model.…”

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of medical staff considering the interplay of pandemic burden and psychosocial resources—A rapid systematic review

et al. 2022

Background In times of the global corona pandemic health care workers (HCWs) fight the disease at the frontline of healthcare services and are confronted with an exacerbated load of pandemic burden. Psychosocial resources are thought to buffer adverse effects of pandemic stressors on mental health. This rapid review summarizes evidence on the specific interplay of pandemic burden and psychosocial resources with regard to the mental health of HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal was to derive potential starting points for supportive interventions. Methods We conducted a rapid systematic review following the recommendations of the Cochrane Rapid Reviews Methods Group. We searched 7 databases in February 2021 and included peer-reviewed quantitative studies, that reported related data on pandemic stressors, psychosocial resources, and mental health of HCWs. Results 46 reports were finally included in the review and reported data on all three outcomes at hand. Most studies (n = 41) applied a cross-sectional design. Our results suggest that there are several statistically significant pandemic risk factors for mental health problems in HCWs such as high risk and fear of infection, while resilience, active and emotion-focused coping strategies as well as social support can be considered beneficial when protecting different aspects of mental health in HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence for patterns of interaction between outcomes were found in the context of coping style when facing specific pandemic stressors. Conclusions Our results indicate that several psychosocial resources may play an important role in buffering adverse effects of pandemic burden on the mental health of HCWs in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, causal interpretations of mentioned associations are inadequate due to the overall low study quality and the dominance of cross-sectional study designs. Prospective longitudinal studies are required to elucidate the missing links.
