“…27,33 -35 However, our study finding was similar with few studies conducted in Sudan, Nicaragua and Turkey which demonstrated low level of tuberculosis stigma. [36][37][38] These variations of TB related stigma could be attributed to many factors such as the difference in stigma measurement tools, study areas, sample sizes and participant characteristics. TB stigma is considered a complex concept because it is not easily assessed and thus, different methodological approaches for assessing TB stigma resulted in the slight variation in the product.…”

INTRODUCTION: Tuberculosis (TB) related stigma is one of the significant barriers in the global TB control programme and it may lead to depression. This study aims to assess the level of stigma among TB patients and its associated factors, as well as to ascertain the correlation between stigma and depression in Kedah, Malaysia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study using the proportionate sampling method. TB patients were recruited from respiratory clinics in three government hospitals in Kedah. Case report form, Malay version of TB stigma scale (TSS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-Malay) were used for data collection. Data were then analyzed using the linear regression and correlation analysis. RESULTS: A total of 200 respondents were enrolled and the mean score of TB stigma from patient’s perspective was 13.3 (6.87). Younger patient, currently married, higher education, unemployment, and HIV co-infection were significantly associated with the stigma experienced. 27.5% (n=55) of the TB patients were found to be depressed, with the majority categorized into mild severity (20%, n=40), followed by moderate (5.5%, n = 11) and severe depression (2%; n = 4). There was a moderate, positive correlation between stigma and depression which was statistically significant (r = 0.345, p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Although the stigma score among TB patients was not as high as has been postulated, there was a moderate, positive correlation between stigma and depression. Thus, the intervention to reduce the stigma among TB patients may be helpful as it may reduce the depression level.

“…As observed in COVID-19 outpatient clinics, many school authorities laid down a negative PCR criterion before going back to school. There are studies on stigmatization in literature, especially in HIV-positive individuals and patients diagnosed with tuberculosis ( Bayraktar and Khorshtd, 2017 ; Sahoo et al, 2020 ). In our study, we thought that social stigma could negatively affect the children's mental health diagnosed with COVID-19.…”

COVID-19 has affected individuals of all age groups, both physically and mentally. We aimed to determine anxiety and depression in children diagnosed with COVID-19. Fifty children aged 8 to 18 years diagnosed with COVID-19 were included in the study. The children were evaluated the revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale, STAI form TX-I (state anxiety inventory), and STAI form TX-II (trait anxiety inventory). Child Sleep Habits Questionnaire was applied for one of the parents according to three different periods. The periods were established as before the pandemic, during the illness-quarantine process, and after the quarantine. We observed the highest scores for depression-anxiety and the poorest sleep quality during the quarantine period. The scores for depression-anxiety were lower, and sleep quality scores were higher in the prepandemic period compared with after the quarantine period. Measures should be taken to protect mental health for children with COVID-19.

SARS-CoV-2 is a virus that is easily transmitted by close physical contact and droplets. Healthcare workers, especially midwives and nurses working in environments that require close contact working conditions, such as the emergency room and delivery room, have a high risk of encountering this virus. Healthcare workers can easily carry these viruses into their family environments. This study aimed to present a case study to share the disease experience and clinical features of a midwife who worked in the emergency room and had presented with no indications but received a COVID-19 positive test. When this healthcare worker first learned about the disease, it was found that she had many complex and negative emotions, received hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) 2*200 mg oral tablet treatment for five days at home, had very rare symptoms of dry cough, weakness, and loss of smell and taste, and her life findings were within normal limits, despite the fact that she felt guilty and questioned her profession, had fear of stigmatization, and had limited social support.
