“…Seong and colleagues found that during the 2015 outbreak of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome in Korea, healthcare workers that came in contact with patients with MERS and were quarantined at home had a lower rate of symptoms such as depression ( p < 0.001) and acute stress disorder than the group who were in-hospital quarantined [ 24 ].…”

This study aims to investigate whether HCWs infected with COVID-19 may experience potential psychological consequences and a higher incidence of depression, anxiety, work-related stress, and burnout compared to non-infected HCWs. A case–control study with 774 participants was conducted comparing COVID-19-infected HCWs (cases) and non-infected HCWs (controls) from the Occupational Medicine Unit at the Teaching Hospital Policlinico Umberto I, who were administered the same questionnaire including Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Copenhagen Burnout Inventory and Karasek’s Job Content Questionnaire. No differences in the levels of burnout and decision latitude were found between the two groups. Cases showed higher level of anxiety and job demand compared to controls. In contrast, levels of depression in the case group were significantly lower compared to the control group. The results are indicating the need for workplace health promotion activities based on stress and burnout management and prevention. Multiple organizational and work-related interventions can lower the impact of mental health-related issues in the COVID-19 pandemics, including the improvement of workplace infrastructures, as well as the adoption of correct and shared anti-contagion measures, which must include regular personal protective equipment supply, and the adoption of training programs that deal with mental health-related issues.

“…In China, Yan Qi [6] et al used it to evaluate the people's acute stress reaction at the initial stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Sai-ling Guo [7] et al used it to study the stress psychology of the isolated. The questionnaire has been widely used in clinical stress disorder diagnosis [8], disaster psychological trauma evaluation [9], and medical staff psychological evaluation [10,11], but the relevant research is only limited to the direct use of the Chinese version of SASRQ [12], which lacks the appropriate use environment and reasonable exploration.…”

Objective To develop and validate the COVID-19 Related Event Stress Reaction Questionnaire (CRESRQ) based on the Stanford Acute Stress Reaction Questionnaire (SASRQ), and to make the CRESRQ suitable for evaluating the general population's stress reaction on COVID-19 related events. Methods The items were screened for adaptation by the variability method, the total correlation coefficient method, the Cronbach α coefficient method, the factor analysis method utilizing data of 1162 cases collected by the SASRQ during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, as well as by the results of the structured cognitive interviews. Validity and reliability evaluation was applied utilizing data of 2281 cases in 2022. Results (1) The 20-item CRESRQ was developed by 4 methods of data analysis and structured cognitive interviews. (2) The three common factors of the 20 items utilizing the exploratory factor analysis were extracted to divide the dimensions of the questionnaire. The three-factor structure was named as avoidance and re-experiencing, physiological and emotional responses, as well as social alienation based on the items' content. The three-factor and the overall Cronbach α coefficient were 0.839-0.931. (3) The confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency evaluation revealed that the three-factor structure was stable and had good convergent/discrimination validity and internal consistency. Conclusion The procedure of developing CRESRQ is standardized and the performance of CRESRQ is acceptable, which better reflect the general population's stress reaction on Covid-19 related events. In future, the general population's stress reaction to unpredicted public health emergencies can be measured by the questionnaire after adaptive evaluation.

Environmental hazards and/or pandemics may push humans to use different protective methods to maintain their well-being. This study aimed to identify populations vulnerable to psychometric challenges and fatigue during the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic in Kazakhstan. A total of 1,592 participants were recruited and asked to complete the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 (MFI-20). Participants were classified according to gender and age. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test (x2) and MedCalc to detect the odds of MFI-scales with a score ≥12 in women compared to men. Young women had significantly higher odds (OR) of reduced activity (OR 2.4, p<0.0001), physical (OR 2.5, p<0.0001), and mental fatigue (OR 3.4, p<0.0001) than young men. Middle-aged women had significantly higher odds of general fatigue (OR 2.1; p<0.0001), reduced motivation (OR 2.1, p<0.0001), physical (OR 2.1, p<0.0001), and mental fatigue (OR 1.9, p<0.0001) than did middle-aged men. Elderly women had significantly higher odds of general fatigue (OR 3.6, p<0.0001), reduced motivation (OR 3.5, p<0.0001), and physical fatigue (OR 3.5, p<0.0001) than men in the same age category. The study highlights that women were more susceptible, with significantly increased odds of experiencing various aspects of fatigue syndrome compared to men during the COVID-19 pandemic in Kazakhstan. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate individual behavioral changes to help identify vulnerable populations and provide relevant evidence for developing protocols and guidelines during pandemics and/or outbreaks.
