“…Similar studies in the field are lacking. Few studies measured the psychological impact in adult inpatients using standardized psychometric tools, and concluded that admission for COVID-19 has a negative effect on mental health [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. However, no comparison groups were included.…”

The aim of the present study was to assess the psychological impact of hospitalization during the COVID-19 pandemic on parents and their offspring. We performed a nationwide cross-sectional study in Greece based on an Internet questionnaire survey. A convenience sample of parents whose offspring had been hospitalized due to COVID-19 (including multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, MIS-C), diagnosed with COVID-19 but not hospitalized, and hospitalized for another reason during the pandemic were enrolled. Parental stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Revised Impact of Event Scale (IES-R) tools, and childhood mental wellbeing with the Children’s Revised Impact of Event 13 (CRIES-13) scale. Out of 214 received responses, stress levels were significantly higher in parents whose children had been admitted for COVID-19 or MIS-C versus those not admitted or admitted for other reasons (p < 0.001, for PSS/IES-R). Parental and childhood stress levels were correlated. In the multivariable linear regression analysis, children’s hospitalization because of COVID-19 or MIS-C, younger parental age, the existence of comorbidities, and another family member’s hospitalization because of COVID-19 were independent factors for higher stress. In light of the above, stricter hospital admission criteria for COVID-19 could be implemented, and psychological support for eventually admitted families may be beneficial.

“…По нашим данным, люди с психастеническими чертами более всего подвержены воздействию травмирующих событий в период эпидемии, в результате чего возникают невротические и аффективные расстройства [21][22][23]. Так, американские, китайские и итальянские исследователи указывают на преимущественно депрессивные и тревожные расстройства, вызванные пандемией [24][25][26]. В нашем исследовании у впервые обратившихся также отмечались преимущественно тревожные и депрессивные нарушения.…”

“…During the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, there is no doubt that people infected with COVID-19 were stigmatized around the world (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). This stigma has brought large amounts of psychological and physical distress to COVID-19 patients (10,11).…”

“…This view also treats social care as a purely public health issue, ignoring the impact of power inequality on social care. Unlike most studies that conceptualize class as an individual attribute to identify causes and interventions of stigma ( 10 , 11 ), we aim to reveal that the inequality of social power is an important driving force for stigma processes. To this end, the social care system must formulate a new response.…”

Lessons from the stigma of COVID-19 survivors: A Marxist criticism appraisal

Stigma refers to devalued stereotypes that create barriers for stigmatized individuals. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the stigmatization of survivors worsened existing inequalities and triggered mass hysteria. The paper delves into the stigmatization experienced by COVID-19 survivors and the role of Marxist criticism in analyzing this issue. The main findings from the empiricist tradition approach suggest that the perception of COVID-19 stigma is higher among those who are older, belong to ethnic minorities, lack social support, have manual occupations, and possess lower levels of education. The proposed destigmatization pathways include psychological counseling services, social support, and health education. Employing a Marxist perspective can aid in illuminating how economic practices and material conditions influence prevalent ideologies related to stigma. The stigmatization of COVID-19 survivors may be perceived as a consequence of social power inequality, although the current emphasis on individual characteristics as triggers for stigma may neglect the wider systemic forces in operation. Thus, it’s crucial to establish improved social care policies to combat exploitation and oppression due to power imbalances. The ultimate objective of such an examination is to identify effective approaches to tackle and eradicate stigma regarding health-related concerns. An interdisciplinary approach integrating a pluralistic perspective would benefit investigating how social systems and individual attributes contribute to the exacerbation of social inequality and stigmatization.
