“…Regarding the feelings experienced by people living with tuberculosis, this study reports the psychological burden felt due to societal stigma which continuously attacks their mental health, as was also reported in previous research [ 65 ]. Research results that report feelings of shame, depression, anxiety, and helplessness experienced by people living with tuberculosis [ 66 , 67 ], because community stigma is felt to be very painful, strongly support these findings. For this reason, people living with tuberculosis should explore the coping resources that can be used, to make them feel strong, resourceful, and flexible and use the coping resources they have to resolve the mental stress they feel [ 15 , 68 – 70 ].…”

The psychological burden is greatly felt by people living with tuberculosis because the characteristics of the disease are very visible and very contagious, and the obligation to take the right dose of medication with long treatment. This is what makes tuberculosis a very stigmatic disease. The aim of this research is to explore the psychological burden felt by people living with tuberculosis due to social stigma by society and how coping efforts are made. This research uses a qualitative phenomenological design through in-depth face-to-face interviews which take place in a semi-structured manner with the hope of obtaining complete data. The purposive sampling method was used in this research with Participatory Interpretative Phenomenology analysis involving 25 participants consisting of 16 men and 9 women. This research produced several themes, including 1) "The Perception of stigma limiting space and time", 2) "The Opportunities for interpersonal interaction become narrow", 3) "The mental stress as a challenging emotion", and 4) " Expanding coping efforts”. The psychological burden is felt by people living with tuberculosis because society’s treatment is felt to be very discriminatory due to the social stigma that has developed in society so they lose the opportunity to interact with society. For that reason, they tried to explore some of the personal and environmental resources used to modify adaptive coping in resolving perceived psychological burdens. Given the possibility of ongoing stigma and discrimination during tuberculosis treatment programs, it is important to consider the psychological burden in this context, both on the general population and on groups affected by stigma.

“…It is also more acceptable than oral medication and aids patients' recovery with better compliance. In addition to the COVID-19, there are many epidemics such as HIV, tuberculosis (TB) and so on, which can also promote depression, anxiety symptoms (50)(51)(52). Exercise therapy can be used in future pandemics which promote depression and anxiety symptoms.…”

ObjectiveWith increasing rates of anxiety and depression during COVID-19, exercise treatment has drawn attention for its effects on COVID-19 patients with anxiety and depression. This study set out to assess the impact of exercise therapy on COVID-19 patients’ anxiety and depression.MethodsPubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were used to search articles about exercise therapy as a means of treating anxiety and depression in COVID-19 patients from inception to April 30, 2023. The risk of bias was assessed by the Cochrane Collaboration bias risk tool. Data were pooled with the random effects model. RevMan version 5.4 was used for the statistical analyses. This work was registered in the PROSPERO database (registration number: CRD42023406439).Selection criteriaRandomized clinical trials (RCTs) of COVID-19 patients with anxiety and depression were included to assess the impact of physical exercise on COVID-19 patients with anxiety and depression.Results6 studies including a total of 461 COVID-19 patients were analyzed in this meta-analysis. Overall, the meta-analysis showed that compared with the control group, exercise could significantly improve anxiety (SMD = −0.76; 95%CI: −0.96, −0.55; p < 0.00001), depression level (SMD = −0.39; 95%CI: −0.70, −0.09; p = 0.01), the PHQ-9 score (MD = −1.82; 95%CI: −2.93, −0.71; p = 0.001) and the sleep quality (SMD = −0.73; 95%CI: −1.32, −0.14; p = 0.01) in COVID-19 patients.ConclusionThe research provided evidence that exercise therapy is able to help COVID-19 patients experience less anxiety and depression and have better-quality sleep.Systematic review registrationCRD42023406439.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) patients often experience depressive and anxiety symptoms, which can significantly impact their quality of life, treatment adherence, and outcomes. Understanding the magnitude of these mental health issues is crucial for improving TB programs and achieving successful treatment outcomes. Materials and Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, to assess the prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms among TB patients. Relevant studies were identified through a search of the PubMed database. Studies were assessed for quality using the Newcastle–Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS). Data extraction was performed, and a random-effects meta-analysis was conducted to estimate pooled prevalence rates. Results: Forty studies were included in the analysis. The pooled estimated prevalence of depression among TB patients was 11% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 11–12), while the pooled estimated prevalence of anxiety was 28% (95% CI: 26–29). Subgroup analyses revealed variations in the prevalence rates among drug-sensitive (DS-TB), drug-resistant, and extensively drug-resistant patients, as well as across continents and settings. Conclusions: The review indicates that there was a considerable burden of depressive and anxiety symptoms among TB patients worldwide. The findings emphasize the need for routine screening, integrated care approaches, and targeted interventions to address the mental health needs of TB patients.
