To provide a contemporary global prevalence of mental health issues among the general population amid the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We searched electronic databases, preprint databases, grey literature, and unpublished studies from January 1, 2020, to June 16, 2020 (updated on July 11, 2020), with no language restrictions. Observational studies using validated measurement tools and reporting data on mental health issues among the general population were screened to identify all relevant studies. We have included information from 32 different countries and 398,771 participants. The pooled prevalence of mental health issues amid the COVID-19 pandemic varied widely across countries and regions and was higher than previous reports before the COVID-19 outbreak began. The global prevalence estimate was 28.0% for depression; 26.9% for anxiety; 24.1% for post-traumatic stress symptoms; 36.5% for stress; 50.0% for psychological distress; and 27.6% for sleep problems. Data are limited for other aspects of mental health issues. Our findings highlight the disparities between countries in terms of the poverty impacts of COVID-19, preparedness of countries to respond, and economic vulnerabilities that impact the prevalence of mental health problems. Research on the social and economic burden is needed to better manage mental health problems during and after epidemics or pandemics. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO CRD 42020177120.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı COVID-19 Pandemisi'nin sağlık algısı üzerine etkisini incelemektir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipte yürütülen çalışmaya gönüllü 560 kişi katıldı. Çalışmaya katılan kişilerden ilk bölümde, tanımlayıcı özelliklerine ve COVID-19 pandemi süresince aldıkları tedbirlere yönelik veriler toplandı. İkinci bölümde "Sağlık Algısı Ölçeği" uygulandı. Bulgular: Tüm katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 37.62±10.5 ve %54.1 (n:303)' i kadındır. Çalışmaya katılanların %95.4 (n:534)'ü maske kullandıklarını bildirirken, eldiven kullananların oranının %10.0 (n:56) olduğu görüldü. COVID-19 tarama testi yaptırmayanların oranının %73.6 (n:412) olduğu ve tüm katılımcıların %93.4 (n:523)'ünün sosyal izolasyon ve karantina kurallarına uydukları belirlendi. Sağlık algısı ölçek puan ortalaması 53.1±6.3 olarak hesaplandı. Cinsiyet ve sigara kullanma durumuna göre karşılaştırıldığında toplam sağlık algısı ölçeği ortalama puanların benzer olduğu görüldü (p≥0.05). Koronavirüs testi yaptırmayanların ölçek puanının yaptıranlara göre daha yüksek olduğu tespit edildi (p=0.05). Cinsiyet, sigara kullanma, karantina kurallarına uyma, maske ve eldiven kullanma durumlarına göre karşılaştırmalarda ölçek puanları arasında anlamlı fark olmadığı görüldü (p≥0.05). Sonuç ve Öneriler: Sonuç olarak koronavirüs testi yaptıran bireylerin sağlık algılarının olumsuz yönde etkilendiği belirlendi. COVID-19 salgını sırasında sağlık algısına etkisinin belirlenmesi, toplumda yaşanılabilecek stres, kaygı, yalnızlık ve depresyon gibi psikolojik sorunların önüne geçilmesi açısından önemlidir. Bu nedenle bu alanda daha büyük örneklem grupları ile çalışmalar yapılması önerilmektedir.

Caregivers providing care for their family members with oral cancer usually endure the caregiving burden in silence, which affects their quality of life and necessitates the need for supportive care. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the quality of life (QOL) of oral cancer caregivers and their supportive care needs (SCN) in Malaysia. The Malaysian versions of the Caregiver Oncology Quality of Life Questionnaire (M-CarGOQoL) and the Comprehensive Needs Assessment Tool for Cancer Caregivers (M-CNAT-C) were self-administered by 56 family caregivers of oral cancer patients from five tertiary hospitals throughout Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak between October and December 2021. Correlation and multiple regression analyses were employed, and the significance level was set at p < 0.05. The mean score for the QOL of caregivers was 76.16 ± 16.01, with the lowest scores in the psychological well-being (64.87 ± 30.12) and self-esteem (68.64 ± 28.29) domains. The mean score for SCN of caregivers was 36.42 ± 24.16, with the highest scores in the healthcare staff (58.44 ± 33.80) and information (55.35 ± 29.98) domains. The correlation between QOL and SCN was moderately inversed, (r(54) = 0.58, p < 0.01). There was a significant effect of caregiving duration (<3 h/day versus >3 h/day) on the combined dependent variables (QOL and SCN), F(2, 53) = 5.006, p < 0.01, partial η2 = 0.16. QOL and caregiving duration accounted for a significant 43% of SCN, R2 = 0.43, adjusted R2 = 0.41, F(2, 53) = 20.32, p < 0.01. In conclusion, oral cancer caregivers with poorer QOL have higher SCN. It is recommended that oral cancer caregivers be recognized by healthcare providers in order to deliver holistic patient care.
