“…Studies focusing on nurses’ burnout during COVID-19 revealed age ( 9 , 27 ), gender ( 9 , 16 , 25 ), marital status ( 9 ) and years of working experience ( 17 ) were closely related with burnout. Therefore, analysis was performed by PROCESS 3.4.1 (Model 4) ( 28 ) after controlling the confounders mentioned above with insomnia as independent variable, depression and anxiety as the mediating variables, and burnout as the dependent variable.…”

“…Noh et al discovered depression and anxiety were positively correlated with burnout. Moreover, Noh et al revealed depression was a major factor influencing burnout of frontline nurses by hierarchical regression analysis during the COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea ( 16 ). Liu and Zhang found positive correlations between burnout, anxiety and depression among Chinese nurses in the period of COVID-19.…”

Objective: To investigate the mediating effects of anxiety and depression in the relationship between insomnia and burnout among Chinese nurses under the regular COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control.Methods: Convenience sampling was applied to recruit 784 nurses in Jiangsu Province, China. The respondents completed the survey via mobile devices. Demographic questionnaire, Insomnia Severity Index, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Maslach Burnout Inventory were used to assess demographic information, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and burnout, respectively. Hayes PROCESS macro was employed to examine the mediation model.Results: Insomnia, anxiety, depression and burnout were positively and significantly associated with each other. Anxiety and depression played partial mediation effects between insomnia and burnout with the mediation effect of anxiety and depression accounting for 28.87% and 31.69% of the total effect, respectively.Conclusion: Insomnia may lead to burnout through the parallel mediating effects of anxiety and depression in Chinese nurses. Interventions on sleep, anxiety and depression from the hospital management were essential to ameliorate nurses’ burnout status under the regular COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control.

“…Occupational burnout among HWs is an important issue because it impairs medical quality and safety. Our study revealed the correlation between burnout and anxiety, the latter commonly present under chronic stress, which was found to be correlated with burnout as well ( 39 ). Depression and burnout have been considered as synonymous in some literature ( 46 , 47 ), while others argue that they are categorically distinct ( 48 , 49 ).…”

“…Occupational burnout among medical personnel is often higher than in the general population (36). Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, studies of burnout among front-line and non-front-line HWs have shown a high burnout rate (20,(37)(38)(39)(40)(41), and these HWs often have more emotional distress. Factors related to HWs' burnout include female sex, less work experience, nurse occupation, and work location (37)(38)(39)(40)(41).…”

BackgroundFrontline healthcare workers (FHWs) experienced psychological stress and heavy workload during COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined the psychological symptoms and occupational burnout of FHWs in a fever clinic during different periods of the pandemic.MethodsA cross-sectional survey of FHWs in the fever clinic of a tertiary hospital was carried out during both the outbreak period and regular period of COVID-19. Psychological measurement instruments including Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item, the 9-Question Patient Health Questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Service Survey, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale were used to evaluate anxiety, depression, burnout, and self-efficacy, respectively. The correlation between clinical variables was explored.ResultsA total of 162 participants were involved in this study, including 118 FHWs during the outbreak period (Group 1) and 44 FHWs during the regular period (Group 2). Anxiety symptoms were more prevalent in Group 2 (x2 = 27.477) while depressive symptoms were significantly more prevalent in Group 1 (x2 = 69.538). Burnout rate was higher in Group 2 (x2 = 29.526). Self-efficacy was higher in Group 1 (t = 3.194). Burnout was positively correlated with anxiety symptoms (r2 = 0.424) and negatively correlated with self-efficacy (r2 = −0.312).ConclusionAnxiety, depressive symptoms and burnout were prevalent in FHWs during different periods of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a tendency to be less depressed, but more anxious and burned out over time, although the severity of the pandemic is decreasing. Self-efficacy may be an important factor in protecting FHWs from occupational burnout. Support and intervention plans for FHWs should be made at the institutional level.

“…MXenes demonstrate enormous potential for monitoring and detecting diverse biomolecules and encompassing electrochemical, optical, and plasmonic modules (Sheth et al, 2022). The infectious and fatal diseases have certainly burdened the already existing healthcare services globally and resulted in mortalities, so the primary concern in the post-COVID-19 era is the early diagnosis of contagious diseases to strengthen their treatment and curtail the spread (Chaudhary et al, 2022b;Noh et al, 2022). The consequences of infectious diseases can be managed via early diagnosis of respective biomarkers, so as to enhance their therapeutic efficiency (Cherusseri et al, 2022;Markandan et al, 2022).…”

COVID-19, one of the worst-hit pandemics, has quickly spread like fire across nations with very high mortality rates. Researchers all around the globe are making consistent efforts to address the main challenges faced due to COVID-19 infection including prompt diagnosis and therapeutics to reduce mortality. Conventional medical technology does not effectively contain the havoc caused by deadly COVID-19. This signals a crucial mandate for innovative and novel interventions in diagnostics and therapeutics to combat this ongoing pandemic and counter its successor or disease if it were ever to arise. The expeditious solutions can spring from promising areas such as nanomedicine and nanotechnology. Nanomedicine is a dominant tool that has a huge potential to alleviate the disease burden by providing nanoparticle-based vaccines and carriers. Nanotechnology encompasses multidisciplinary aspects including artificial intelligence, chemistry, biology, material science, physical science, and medicine. Nanoparticles offer many advantages compared to larger particles, including better magnetic properties and a multiplied surface-to-volume ratio. Given this, the present review focuses on promising nanomedicine-based solutions to combat COVID-19 and their utility to control a broad range of pathogens and viruses, along with understanding their role in the therapy, diagnosis, and prevention of COVID-19. Various studies, reports, and recent research and development from the nanotechnology perspective are discussed in this article.
