“…Solche Angebote sind niedrigschwellig und kommen ohne den Einsatz personeller Ressourcen aus, was eine breite Nutzung ermöglicht. Public-Health-Ansätze im Sinne eines psychologischen Krisenmanagements für die Allgemeinbevölkerung existierten bisher kaum und entstehen aktuell quasi ad hoc, wie zunächst in China, wo der Fokus auf Telemedizin gelegt wird [45]. Erste Fallstudien aus Deutschland bestätigen erhöhte psychische Belastungen infolge von COVID-19 und unterstreichen den Bedarf für eine Public-Health-Agenda, die Maßnahmen zum Schutz der psychosozialen Gesundheit während der Massenquarantäne hierzulande forciert [46].…”

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Ziel der Studie Zusammenschau von Evidenz über psychosoziale Folgen von Quarantänemaßnahmen bei schwerwiegenden Coronavirus-Ausbrüchen vor COVID-19. Entsprechende Erkenntnisse liefern wichtige Bezugspunkte zur COVID-19-Pandemie. Methodik Suche in der MEDLINE-Datenbank nach relevanten Studien bei SARS-CoV-und MERS-CoV-Ausbrüchen. Ergebnisse Insgesamt 13 selektierte Studien beschreiben konsistent psychosoziale Folgen von Quarantänemaßnahmen, darunter Depressivität, Ängstlichkeit, Wut, Stress, posttraumatische Belastung, soziale Isolation, Einsamkeit und Stigmatisierung. Determinanten waren u. a. die Dauer der Quarantäne und Einkommensverluste. Tätige im Gesundheitswesen waren eine besonders vulnerable Gruppe. Schlussfolgerung Quarantänemaßnahmen bei schwerwiegenden Coronavirus-Ausbrüchen haben negative Konsequenzen für die psychosoziale Gesundheit. Präventionsund Interventionsansätze zur Reduktion der psychosozialen Folgen sollten integraler Bestandteil des Krisenmanagements unter Pandemiebedingungen sein.

“…The mental health impact of COVID-19 is significant (Torales et al 2020) and we have seen from previous epidemics of this nature that there can be long-term psychiatric sequelae (Mak et al 2009). This current pandemic has seen an increase in fear and fear-induced behaviours in the general public (Dong & Bouey, 2020) with examples of panic buying in Ireland (Bray, 2020) emphasising the current stress levels of the Irish population. There have been calls for increased mental health care during the COVID-19 pandemic (Xiang et al 2020) and this should include patients attending addiction psychiatry services (Murray, 2020).…”

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has undoubtedly had a major impact on the provision of physical healthcare in Ireland and worldwide. The mental health impact of this pandemic cannot be underestimated, particularly relating to patients suffering from addiction. Heightened public stress and anxiety levels, increasing isolation and the physical consequences of addiction play a large role in the proliferation and ongoing relapse of substance misuse and behavioural addiction. Service provision is an ongoing challenge not only due to the increasing need for services given the increased mental health burden of COVID-19 but also the restrictions in place in clinical areas to achieve social distancing. The necessary adaptations to service provision provide opportunities for the analysis of current processes used in our addiction unit and the introduction of new processes to our service. The current crisis tests the sustainability of the service to provide the high standard of care required for these patients.

“…To the best of our knowledge, this study is the rst worldwide assessment of the mental health effects of COVID-19. Previous studies on the psychological impact of COVID-19 have been mostly from China 13,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25]39 The largest of these studies (n = 52,730) that surveyed voluntary public participants, reported symptoms of psychological distress in almost one-third of the participants according to the peritraumatic distress index. 40 Another notable study, on health professionals (n = 1,255), revealed depression, anxiety, and symptoms of general distress in almost half of participants, and sleep disturbances in almost 8%.…”

Background: The emergence of Corona virus disease (COVID-19) and wide-spread counter-measures, such as quarantine and social distancing, can have a significant impact on mental health of individuals. Methods: This online study anonymously screened 13,332 individuals worldwide for acute psychological symptoms related to Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic from March 29th to April 14th, 2020. A total of n=12,817 responses were considered valid. n=1077 participants from Europe were screened a second time during May 15th to May 30th to longitudinally ascertain the persistence of psychological effects. Results: Female gender, pre-existing psychiatric condition, and prior exposure to trauma were identified as notable factors associated with increased acute psychological symptoms during COVID-19. The same factors, in addition to, being related to someone who demised due to COVID-19 and using social media more than usual predicted persistence of psychological disturbances. Optimism, ability to share concerns with family and friends like usual, positive prediction about COVID-19, and daily exercise predicted fewer acute and persistent psychological symptoms. Conclusions: Females, psychiatric patients, and individuals with previous exposure to trauma are at increased risk of being persistently psychologically affected by COVID-19.
