“…While the mental health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare workers has been a focal point of investigation, other at-risk populations including students (Ali et al, 2021 ; Bountress et al, 2022 ; Essadek et al, 2022 ; Pat-Horenczyk et al, 2021 ), refugees (Akhtar et al, 2021 ; Liddell, Murphy, et al, 2021 ; Liddell, O'Donnell, et al, 2021 ), persons exposed to violence (Birkeland et al, 2021 ; Gibert et al, 2021 ) or past childhood adversity (Clemens et al, 2021 ), and military personnel (Richardson et al, 2022 ) have also been a nidus for research on mental health outcomes. A multitude of studies and reviews have highlighted the ubiquitous negative mental health effects of the pandemic (Nochaiwong et al, 2021 ; Zhao et al, 2021 ) and lockdowns (Chen et al, 2022 ), including PTSD (Bonati et al, 2022 ; (Laurent et al, 2022 ) Yuan, et al, 2021 ), adjustment disorders (Ajdukovic et al, 2021 ; Dragan et al, 2021 ; Liddell, O'Donnell, et al, 2021 ; Lotzin et al, 2021 ; Shiffman et al, 2023 ), substance use disorders (Patel et al, 2023 ), and even transient psychoses (Loehde & Novakovic, 2021 ).…”

No buffer effect of perceived social support for people exposed to violence during the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional community study Even though high levels of perceived social support can protect against psychological distress in the face of pandemic worry in the community this study’s findings indicate that this resource is not as useful for individuals exposed to current violence.…”

This Special Issue of the European Journal of Psychotraumatology (EJPT) presents 51 articles published between 2021 and 2023 and follows the Special Issue on pandemic-related traumatic stress research published in 2021 (O'Donnell, M. L., & Greene, T. [2021]. Understanding the mental health impacts of COVID-19 through a trauma lens. European Journal of Psychotraumatology , 12 (1), 1982502). Research on traumatic stress during the pandemic has cast the spotlight on vulnerable populations and groups, notably front-line healthcare workers; people faced with major losses including the deaths of loved ones; those who personally survived debilitating and often life-threatening viral infection; and students who were isolated and experienced profound delays in their education, relationships, and emerging independence. The papers in this collection underscore the associations between COVID-19 related stressors and a plethora of adverse mental health sequelae, including posttraumatic stress reactions, and draw attention to the ubiquity of grief and moral injury and their wide-ranging and detrimental impact. Currently, there is a paucity of evidence on interventions to enhance resources, self-efficacy, and hope for affected groups and individuals through societal, organisational, and healthcare systems; however early research on the prevention of COVID-related traumatic stress disorders provides a basis for both hope and preparedness for the future.

This study was conducted to evaluate Turkish healthcare professionals’ demographic characteristics and the effects of COVID-19 pandemic and stress, coping and trust levels, and to examine the correlation between them. The study has a descriptive and correlational design. The sample of the study included 529 healthcare professionals who volunteered to participate in the study between 01.06.2020 and 31.07.2020 in Turkey. Data were obtained using self-applied online questionnaires. The Perceived Stress Scale and the Trust in Relationships Scale were used to collect the data. The study found a significant correlation between the demographic characteristics of the healthcare professionals such as age, marital status and having children, and their perceived stress and coping level ( p < 0.05). The study found significant correlations between the variables of having someone around them diagnosed with COVID-19, contacting with a COVID-19-suspected/positive patient, having a chronic disease, needing psychological support, questioning interpersonal relationships, quality of life and looking to the future with hope/enthusiasm, and healthcare professionals’ perceived stress and coping levels ( p < 0.05). There was a significant correlation between the variables of having a chronic health issue, abiding by the rule of stay at home/social isolation, quality of life and looking to the future with hope/enthusiasm and the Trust in Relationships Scale ( p < 0.05). Determining the perceived stress, coping and trust levels of Turkish healthcare professionals should be regarded as an opportunity to provide necessary support not only in this pandemic period but after all this end.
