“…These ndings suggest a relationship between psychological symptoms and the burden of DED [18], indicating that anxiety and depression may improve with the relief of dryness. Moreover, the observed decrease in symptoms of anxiety and depression may be attributed to the improvement in sleep quality [45], which has been reported to be compromised in patients with DED [14,46]. Although we found statistically signi cant differences in DED screening tests, including Schirmer, TBUT and OSDI between pre-and post-treatment assesments, a signi cant correlation was observed between the improvement in psychological well-being, including QoL and symptoms of depression and anxiety, and the amelioration in the Schirmer test results exclusively.…”

“…Additionally, studies have revealed a higher prevalence of psychiatric disorders in patients with DED [10][11][12]. Among psychiatric diagnoses, anxiety and depressive disorders were the most frequently investigated, and ndings consistently indicated that individuals with DED exhibited elevated levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms compared to those without DED [13][14][15].…”

Purpose To examine the effects of topical eye drops treatment on the psychosocial status of pediatric patients with computer vision syndrome (CVS)-related dry eye disease (DED). Methods In this study, a total of 38 children (6 boys, 32 girls) with CVS-related dry eye symptoms were evaluated with the Schirmer test, tear break-up time (TBUT), and ocular surface disease index (OSDI) at the time of diagnosis and after artificial tear drops treatment. Additionally, the quality of life (QoL) levels and the anxiety and depression symptoms were assessed using self- report scales for children. Results The mean age and mean total screen exposure of patients were 13.95 ± 2.42 years and 5.65 ± 2.31 hours, respectively. After treatment, TBUT and Schirmer test values of the patients increased significantly, while OSDI values decreased (p < 0.001 for all). The total anxiety and the depression scores of the patients decreased (p = 0.001, and p = 0.003, respectively); whilst the physical, emotional, social and school functionality scores increased (p < 0.05 for all) with treatment. There was a significant correlation between the improvements in Schirmer test values and anxiety scores (r = -0.32, p = 0.045) and QoL total scores (r = 0.38, p = 0.016). Conclusions Enhanced QoL and decreased anxiety and depression scores, correlated with the amelioration of dry eye symptoms indicate that the CVS related DED has psychosocial effects, which may decrease after appropriate treatment, in pediatric patients. Future research endeavors that integrate comprehensive evaluations of dry eye and psychiatric symptoms can yield more comprehensive and precise insights into the interplay between psychiatric disorders and DED in children with CVS, as well as the outcomes of different treatment approaches.

“…Studies on the severity of insomnia were encountered in the literature review (Ayyıldız & Ayyıldız, 2019;Beşirli, 2020;Şahiner & Hisar, 2018). However, although research has been conducted in groups such as university students and healthcare professionals on the problem of insomnia during the COVID 19 pandemic period, no research has been encountered on the severity of insomnia of academicians working in the field of health sciences during this period (Ataç et al, 2020;İlhan et al, 2020;Salcan & Sarıkaya, 2020;Scotta et al, 2020;).…”

Aim:The aim of this study is to determine the severity of insomnia of academicians working in the field of health sciences in the COVID-19 pandemic.Method: This research in descriptive design was conducted between 20 March -31 May 2020 with 114 academic staff working in the field of Health Sciences of a university in the Black Sea Region. "Questionnaire form" and "Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)" were used to collect the data. Number, percentage distribution, mean, standard deviation, one way anova and unpaired t test were used to evaluate the data.Results: In the study, the average score of ISI of academicians was 10.40±5.50, female had 11.24±5.44, male had 9.77±5.50, research assistants had 13.46±3.92 and those with any ailments had an average score of 10.72±6.01. No statistically significant differences were found between gender, academic title, and having any ailment and ISI (p>0.05). When evaluated according to the breakpoints of the scale, it was found that 44.7% of the academicians had the lower threshold of insomnia, 22.8% had moderate clinical insomnia, and 0.9% had severe clinical insomnia. Conclusion and Suggestions:In the study, it was found that female academicians, research assistants and academicians with any ailments were exposed to insomnia at a higher rate. In addition, it was determined that almost half of the academicians were at the lower threshold of insomnia.
