“…Economic disruptions triggered by COVID-19 have also resulted in income loss for a substantial fraction of the population ( Walsh, 2020 ), which can take several forms, including enforced no-pay leave, salary cuts, reduced shifts for workers earning hourly wages, and retrenchment, and has been tied to increased stress or wellbeing losses during the pandemic ( Prickett, Fletcher, Chapple, Doan, & Smith, 2020 ; Shen et al., 2021 ). Income loss, a form of economic stress, has long been shown to adversely affect family relationships ( Fonseca, Cunha, Crespo, & Relvas, 2016 ).…”

“…Second, economic disruptions triggered by COVID-19 have resulted in income loss for a substantial fraction of the population. Income loss can take several forms, including enforced no-pay leave, salary cuts, reduced shifts for workers earning hourly wages, and retrenchment, and has been tied to increased stress during the pandemic ( Shen, Xiao, Yuan, Chen, & Li, 2021 ). Third, the rapid spread of COVID-19 infections in many countries have resulted in significant fear and anxiety, which can also adversely affect marital relationships ( Reizer, Koslowsky, & Geffen, 2020 ).…”

The massive socioeconomic changes wrought by COVID-19 have disrupted multiple aspects of family life. However, evidence is still lacking on the sustained long-term impact of the pandemic and how families are adapting to this new normal. This article studies changes in women’s family relationships against the backdrop of evolving COVID-19 public health responses, and investigates the adverse effects of working from home, income loss, and anxiety about the virus. We survey 356 Singaporean mothers over four waves: a baseline in April–July 2018 and follow-ups in May, June, and November 2020. Results suggest that while some family relationships suffered during the early days of the crisis, most families displayed resilience in the long-term. Nevertheless, a substantial minority continued to report worsened relationships. Mother’s work from home status and father’s income loss emerged as significant predictors of change in family relationships, highlighting the gendered nature of adaptation to crisis.

COVID-19 pandemic has challenged and overwhelmed most healthcare institutions and healthcare workers, across the world. Despite being unprepared for this pandemic, frontline workers have worked relentlessly to provide the much-needed care to these patients. Doctors from different branches of medicine, including dermatologists, came forward and played a substantial role in mitigating the impact of this pandemic on the general population. Sadly, in the process, these healthcare workers faced many personal, social, psychological, economic, and health-related issues. The psychological burden and health-related issues received due attention in the main-stream news as well as scientific research papers. With most frontline workers isolated from their families, social media became the new platform to reduce the sense of isolation and share their anxiety, insomnia, and fatigue. This article is aimed at highlighting various challenges faced by healthcare workers during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Although skin manifestations have not been the focus of early COVID-19 reports, consecutive research has yielded a large variety of skin and nail manifestations associated with the infection, including single cases of exacerbation of psoriasis. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] However, many patients with skin conditions might have been affected by the pandemic not only due to the emotional stress associated with the situation but particularly as a consequence of shortages in health care provision. 11,12 As a result of the reduced medical care, the adherence of patients under systemic therapy was partially reduced.…”

Background: Limited data are available characterizing the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on psoriasis care for patients in Germany.Objective: To analyze patient perception and impact of the pandemic on well-being and psoriasis management of German patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis or psoriasis arthritis under systemic therapies. Methods: The CoronaBest registry captures events of SARS-CoV-2 infections and analyzes the impact of the pandemic on patients with psoriasis or psoriasis arthritis. In June 2020, and independently in February 2022, patients with psoriasis or psoriasis arthritis received a standardized questionnaire for current treatment, protective measures, well-being, and individual risks for COVID-19, among others. Results: Included were 4,194 patients in 2020 (mean age of 47.7 years and 41.8% women) and 4,818 patients in 2022 (mean age of 56.4 and 42.9% women). Treatment discontinuations were observed in 2.7% and 1.7% of patients in 2020 and 2022, respectively. In the vast majority of the cases (>92%), no additional measures were taken concerning the management of psoriasis treatments in either 2020 or 2022. Those patients with changes reported most frequently: telephone calls instead of face-to-face visits (80.2%, in 2020 vs 40.5% in 2022) or more frequent controls (27.1%, 2020 vs 22.0%, 2022). A majority (66.7%, 2020, and 70.6%, 2022) did not perceive the virus as a considerable threat. The proportion of patients feeling well informed about COVID-19 by physicians increased from 42.6% in 2020 to 51.8% in 2022. About 81.1% of patients in 2020 and 67.5% in 2022 stated that their overall personal condition was not affected due to the pandemic. Physicians attributed no special risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2 in most of the patients. Conclusion: A high rate of systemic treatment persistence and awareness of risks and protective measures indicate that health care for psoriasis largely followed current national and international recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
