“…Also, the renal injury in COVID-19 may be more persistent than that of acute kidney injury (AKI) of other infectious causes [ 4 ] and contribute to lung injury. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have substantially increase mortality [ 5 ] as do younger patients with increased body mass index (BMI) [ 6 ].…”

“…People with chronic conditions can be negatively influenced by COVID-19 infections. 31,32 When personal medical condition was not good, the stress and fear about the risk of being infected by COV-ID-19 would be much greater. Optimism was also an important protective factor for COVID-19 stress.…”

Objective Optimism, social support, and spirituality can be important factors related to coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) stress. However, studies investigating the influence and interplay of optimism, social support, and spirituality on COVID-19 simultaneously are still few. This study is aimed to explore the influence of optimism, social support, and spirituality on COVID-19 stress in the Christian church community.Methods A total 350 participants were included in this study. This study was cross-sectionally conducted by using an online survey on optimism, social support, spirituality, and COVID-19 stress that were measured by the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support Scale (MSPSS), Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS), and COVID-19 Stress Scale for Korean People (CSSK). The prediction models for COVID-19 stress were analyzed by using univariate and multiple linear regression.Results Based on the results of univariate linear regression, subjective feelings on income (p<0.001) and health status (p<0.001), LOTR (p<0.001), MSPSS (p=0.025), and SWBS (p<0.001) scores were significantly associated with COVID-19 stress. The multiple linear regression model with subjective feelings on income and health status and SWSB score was significant (p<0.001) and explained 17.7% of the variance (R<sup>2</sup>=0.177).Conclusion This study showed that subjective feeling on low income, those who had poor health status, lower optimism, lower perceived social support, and lower spirituality were significantly affected with COVID-19 stress. Especially, the model with subjective feelings on income and health status, and spirituality showed highly significant effects, despite the interaction with associated factors. To cope with unpredictable stressful situations like the COVID-19 pandemic, integrated interventions on psycho-socio-spiritual aspect are warranted.

“…The disease has mild to moderately severe symptoms in most infected individuals, where the recovery can happen without hospitalization (3). However, people with chronic diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and older people are at a higher risk of developing serious complications (4). Primary prevention, including basic and booster vaccination(s) against the virus, is paramount (5).…”

Background: In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), uptake of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) booster vaccine is important, as they are more likely to develop serious complications. Our aim was to investigate the uptake rate of first booster vaccination against COVID-19 among COPD patients and to identify other related factors of vaccine uptake. Methods: We conducted a multicenter survey of COPD patients in Hungary by region: eastern, western and central ones from 15 November 2021. Respiratory function test results, anthropometric data and vaccination status were recorded for 1510 randomly selected patients over 35 years of age. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine factors associated with uptake of COVID-19 first booster dose vaccines.Results: The average age was 67 [61-72] years, for men it was: 67 [62-73] and 66 [60-72] years for women, with a sample of 47.95% men and 52.05% women. The uptake rate of the COVID-19 first booster vaccine during the study period was 62.45%. Comparing patients who received the 3rd vaccine with those who did not receive the 3rd vaccine, the difference was significant in quality of life: COPD Assessment Test (CAT):16 [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] vs. 14 [10-19], P<0.001, modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale: 2 [2-2] vs. 2 [1-2], P=0.01 and in the number of moderate exacerbations: 1 [0-1] vs. 0 [0-1], P=0.04. In addition, who did not take the third vaccination significantly more people were hospitalized for acute severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (16 vs. 0, P<0.001) and almost the same proportion (n=14) required pulmonary outpatient rehabilitation for post-COVID symptoms. The factors that were most associated with higher COVID-19 vaccine first booster dose uptake were older age [odds ratio (OR): 1.06; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04-1.08], male gender (OR: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.57-0.96), absence of previous COVID-19 infection (OR: 0.34; 95% CI: 0.23-0.51). Conclusions:The uptake rate of the COVID-19 booster vaccine among COPD patients in Hungary is lower than the target, and is associated with disease-related factors, and age, sex, previous COVID infection.The global COVID-19 vaccination target is 70% and 100% for elderly, vulnerable patients. Highlighting the importance of taking booster vaccine(s) should be a priority for health workers.
