“…Shapira et al (2021) mentioned that group intervention using zoom meeting media was able to reduce symptoms of depression in the older people during the COVID-19 pandemic. This result is also supported by Si et al (2021) which stated that mindfulness therapy with online media can improve the quality of life of a person with COVID-19. Other than that,Volpi et al…”

Introduction: The older people with chronic diseases are one of the populations that have a susceptibility to COVID-19. The community-based program that help older people manage their lifestyle was postponed due to avoiding crowds and physical contacts. This literature review aims to describe a mobile-app for the older people with chronic diseases and its benefits. This literature review aims to describe a mobile-app for the older people with chronic diseases and its benefits. Method: The method used in this study is a literature review. This study is analyzed by selecting some literature that is relevant to the purpose of writing in order to obtain new conclusions. Online databases used are ProQuest, Pubmed and Science Direct starting from 2019 to 2021. The keywords used to sort articles in this study are: 1) older people, 2) mobile app, 3) COVID-19. Results: There was ten selected articles that analyzed. This literature review resulted in three main themes in the use of mobile-apps for the older people with chronic diseases, namely (1) monitoring of chronic diseases and COVID-19, (2) management of chronic diseases and COVID-19, and (3) the perspective of older people caregivers. The implication for nursing services is that nurses can disseminate information and provide interventions by minimizing physical contact. In addition, these results also have implications for the scope of nursing education, namely adding reference material for studies in health information systems courses. Conclusion: These results can be used as a basis for creating mobile-app-based educational media, monitoring, and self-management of chronic diseases for the older people and their caregivers.

“…Mindfulness practice centers on cultivating intentional awareness in unfolding present-moment experiences to achieve inner peace, which is associated with peace of mind in nature [ 65 , 66 ]. Peace of mind was listed as an outcome in our mindfulness training protocol for RD in Wuhan [ 3 ]. As suggested by the Wuhan protocol, online mindfulness intervention via mobile phone could be more convenient and effective compared to face-to-face mindfulness practice.…”

“…However, relevant evidence in this area has not been well characterized, especially among the RD in China. Based on the protocol we developed previously [ 3 ], the present cross-sectional study aims to investigate the prevalence of anxiety and depression in RD among participants who were infected at the beginning of the outbreak in Wuhan, China, and to examine their possible influencing factors, which is critical in psychological intervention of COVID-19 patients.…”

Objectives This study is intended to assess the prevalence of depression and anxiety in individuals who had recovered from COVID-19 and been discharged from hospital (RD hereafter) in Wuhan, China, and to explore the factors associated with these mental disorders. Methods Participants of this study were the RD who were infected at the beginning of the outbreak from 13 communities in Jianghan District of Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China by convenience sampling in mid-2021. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire, the Patient Health Questionnaire, the Short Version of COVID-19 Stigma Scale, the Peace of Mind Scale, the Resilience Style Questionnaire, and the Perceived Social Support Questionnaire were used to collect relevant information of the participants. Descriptive analyses, Pearson correlation analysis, and logistic regression analysis were used to describe and analyze the data and to examine the factors associated with the mental health status of this population. Results In total, we recruited 1601 participants from 3059 COVID-19 patients, and 1541 participants completed the questionnaire survey, with a response rate of 96.25%. Finally, 1297 participants met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in this study, of whom 28.8% and 37.9% reported mild to severe levels of anxiety and depression symptoms. Perceived better mental health status during hospitalization, higher frequency of alcohol use per week, peace of mind, higher education level, and resilience were negatively associated with anxiety, while stigma and history of psychological or emotional counseling before infection was positively associated with anxiety. More severe clinical classification of COVID-19 and stigma (AOR = 1.057, P<0.001) were both positively associated with depression, while perceived better mental health status during hospitalization (AOR = 0.564, P<0.001), higher frequency of alcohol use per week (AOR = 0.462, P = 0.004), peace of mind (AOR = 0.857, P<0.001), and social support (AOR = 0.972, P = 0.034) were negatively associated with depression. Conclusions Tailored interventions on reducing stigma, enhancing mindfulness and social support should be taken into account to alleviate anxiety and depression among RD.

Aim The aim of this study is to assess whether anxiety symptoms are associated with alcohol abuse in Brazilian undergraduate dental students during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Method A cross‐sectional study was conducted. A semi‐structured questionnaire addressing the variables of interest was hosted on Google Forms and shared with dental undergraduate students from all Brazilian regions between July 8 and 27, 2020. Alcohol abuse was measured using the Cut down, Annoyed, Guilty, Eye opener (CAGE) questionnaire score of ≥2. All participants responded to the seven‐item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD‐7). Hierarchical logistic regression was also conducted. Results Among the 1050 students evaluated, 18.7% ( n = 196) had a positive screening for alcohol abuse during the pandemic. The prevalence of mild (GAD‐7 = 5–9), moderate (GAD‐7 = 10–14), and severe (GAD‐7 ≥15) anxiety among students were 31.3%, 29.6%, and 24.2%, respectively. The final hierarchical logistic regression model showed that during the COVID‐19 pandemic, anxiety levels predict the likelihood of alcohol abuse among students with moderate (OR 10.05 [95% IC: 4.12–24.52]) or severe (OR 15.82 [95% IC: 6.46–38.73]) anxiety, especially for male students (moderate anxiety: OR 17.06 [95% CI: 8.36–34.78]; severe anxiety: OR 28.38 [95% CI: 8.62–38.24]). Conclusion The prevalence of alcohol abuse and moderate or severe anxiety in Brazilian undergraduate dental students during the COVID‐19 pandemic was high. Male students may be more sensitive to the presence of anxiety symptoms in this period, thus contributing to higher levels of alcohol consumption, in comparison to female students. Intervention strategies that promote the adoption of healthier lifestyles can enable the effective management of anxiety symptoms during the pandemic and thus, hold the potential to reduce exacerbated alcohol intake in this population.
