“…What has changed is the way that each group deals with the new situation caused by COVID-19, highlighting the importance of the coping strategy as a quick response damper to keep the new routine without major losses. Studies have documented differences between women and men with respect to symptom reporting, treatment seeking, coping strategies and several neurobiological variables pertinent to depression (Nayak et al, 2019;Wellman et al, 2018). It has been shown that women are twice as likely as men to develop depression and suffer stress, in addition to presenting less resilience (Nayak et al, 2019).…”

The Unicamp community follows this same pattern described in the literature, with high scores for perceived stress, depressive signs and low score for resilience when compared to men.…”

Background: The current situation due COVID-19 may cause an eminent impact on mental health because the confinement restrictions. Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze and compare perceived stress, resilience, depression symptoms and coping strategies on the members of University of Campinas, in Brazil, before and during the outbreak of the COVID-19. Methods: Volunteers over 18 years of both sexes, members of the University of Campinas (Unicamp) in Brazil answered instruments related to perceived stress, depression, resilience and coping strategies during final exams at the end of semester during 2018 to 2020. Results: We obtained 1,135 responses (893 before COVID-19 and 242 during COVID-19). The volunteers did not show significant differences for perceived stress, depressive signs and resilience before and during the pandemic. In both periods, men exhibited lower scores for perceived stress and depression and higher scores for resilience when compared to women. Undergraduate and graduate students exhibited higher perceived stress scores, more pronounced depressive signs and lower resilience, and employees and professors presented lower scores for perceived stress, depressive signs and greater resilience. Conclusions: These first months of confinement did not directly affect the scores of perceived stress, depression and resilience, however, each subgroup adapted to the new routine by changing the coping strategy used. This study suggests the importance of monitoring the mental health of member in the university, especially in times of epidemic, in the search for policies that aim to improve the resilience of the population and seek positive and effective coping strategies within the university environment.

“…Moreover, Parker et al [ 28 ] reported significant improvements in fatigue, self-efficacy, pain and health through effective stress management. It has been reported that women are also more likely to experience stress from major life events and play more vulnerable social roles than men, slowing the development of stress management and increasing the incidence of depression [ 29 , 30 ]. Therefore, even if there was clinical improvement in the treatment of illness, subjective factors such as the patient’s perception of difficulty in daily life, confidence in coping with stress, level of contentedness in stress and expected health condition were considered to be related to depression.…”

Objectives It has been suggested that patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are more likely to suffer from depression. Therefore, this study identified the factors associated with depressive states in female RA patients to inform future patient care. Methods A self-assessment questionnaire was administered to 150 female RA patients aged 20 years and older regarding their satisfaction with disease activity, pain (measured using the Visual Analogue Scale), self-rated depression scale (SDS), stress content (illness, work, family, difficulty in daily life, appearance, treatment, other), confidence in stress management, and satisfaction (treatment effect, health status, relationships with healthcare professionals). The factors related to depression and the presence of depressive tendencies were investigated. Results Data from 145 patients were analyzed. Eighteen patients (12.4%) showed depressive tendencies according to their SDS scores. Among these patients, SDS scores were positively correlated with disease activity, and with scores on the modified Health Assessment Questionnaire, Visual Analogue Scale for pain, and stress content. SDS was also negatively correlated with patients’ confidence in stress management and health status satisfaction. Conclusion Female RA patients had family problems and various stressors in their daily lives. Nurses need to conduct regular mental health assessments to monitor their self-management status and support them to improve their confidence and satisfaction in coping. To achieve this, it is important for health care teams, involving various healthcare professionals, to collaborate and cooperate.

“…It may be due to higher self-awareness about the disease impact and heightened spread [14]. Specialists who are more likely to handle stress than others may suffer from higher stress due to any negative life event, self-perception or coping style [15].…”

Objective: To establish the validity of COVID-19 Peritraumatic Distress Index (CPDI) questionnaire and assess the stress with its associated factors during COVID-19 among dental professionals in Bhubaneswar, India. Material and Methods: An online survey through Google Forms was steered among 234 dentists. CPDI questionnaire was used for data collection post its validation assessment. Content validity was judged satisfactory by two psychiatrists, and excellent internal consistency was found (Cronbach's alpha = 0.92). For statistical analysis, chi-square and binomial logistic regression tests were used with a significance level of p≤0.05. Results: 70 (29.9%) were males and 164 (70.1%) were females with a mean age of 30.58 ± 6.70 years. Around 50% had an MDS degree and were attached to an institution and nearly 80% were having experience of less than 10 years. The mean CPDI score was found to be 29.09 ± 15.47. A statistically significant association was observed between CPDI scores with age (p<0.003), gender (p<0.03), practice (p<0.06) and education (p<0.006). Binomial logistic regression revealed that odds of stress were 2 times higher among males than females (OR=2.01, p<0.04), which was statistically significant. Conclusion: Acceptable validation scores confirmed CPDI as an effective instrument for detecting stress. Importance of early interventions to combat the issue of stress among dental professionals as it is allied with negative consequences on health and furthermore affects daily activities is highlighted.
