Survivors of COVID-19 are vulnerable to trauma as a result of experiencing social isolation during treatment, with fear and loneliness that can have long-term impacts on mental health. In this review, some related literature will be identified and evaluated, using a qualitative-based literature review to research yoga as an alternative treatment to reduce PTSD symptoms, alleviate, or even cure PTSD in COVID-19 survivors. Articles screening from several journals was carried out by tracing PubMed’s journal publication database throughout the last five years and also categorizing two keywords as a reference for reviewing articles. The result of this literature review confirms that COVID-19 has a psychological effect on survivors, especially concerning PTSD when viewed from the largest indication. In addition, based on the results of ongoing research, yoga has shown a significant and promising impact in reducing PTSD symptoms. From this, it can be concluded that although there has been no research that directly examines the causality of the related review, yoga can be an alternative treatment to minimize symptoms and relieve PTSD in COVID-19 survivors. Based on the results of the review, there are many aspects that need to be investigated further, such as the influence of frequency and duration of yoga. More literature review and further research are essential for this topic, especially testing yoga programs as an intervention for COVID-19 survivors to determine its effectiveness and whether it can be implemented as a whole in the society, especially those who are COVID-19 survivors. Penyintas COVID-19 tergolong rawan terhadap trauma akibat mengalami isolasi sosial selama perawatan, dengan rasa takut dan kesepian yang dapat memberikan dampak berjangka panjang pada kesehatan mental. Dalam tinjauan kali ini akan dilakukan identifikasi, serta pengevaluasian beberapa literatur terkait, menggunakan tinjauan literatur berbasis kualitatif untuk meneliti yoga sebagai terapi alternatif dalam menurunkan gejala PTSD, meringankan, atau bahkan menyembuhkan PTSD pada penyintas COVID-19. Penyaringan artikel dari beberapa jurnal dilakukan dengan menelusuri database publikasi jurnal PubMed dari lima tahun terakhir dan juga dilakukan kategorisasi dua kata kunci sebagai acuan peninjauan artikel. Hasil tinjauan pada literatur ini menegaskan bahwa COVID-19 memiliki dampak psikologis pada penyintas, terutama PTSD apabila dilihat dari indikasi terbesar. Selain itu, berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang telah berlangsung, yoga menunjukkan dampak yang signifikan dan menjanjikan dalam mengurangi gejala PTSD. Dari sini dapat disimpulkan bahwa walaupun belum ada penelitian yang secara langsung meneliti kausalitas dari peninjauan terkait, yoga dapat menjadi salah satu alternatif terapi untuk meminimalisir gejala dan meringankan PTSD pada penyintas COVID-19. Berdasarkan hasil peninjauan, banyak aspek yang perlu diteliti lebih lanjut seperti pengaruh dari frekuensi dan durasi yoga. Dibutuhkan lebih banyak peninjauan literatur dan penelitian lebih lanjut mengenai topik ini, terutama pengujian program yoga sebagai intervensi pada penyintas COVID-19, untuk mengetahui tingkat keefektifannya dan apakah dapat diimplementasikan secara utuh pada masyarakat, terutama yang merupakan penyintas COVID-19.

The DEMoBinc study's main objective is to develop an instrument for assessing the living conditions, the quality of care, and the human rights of long-term mentally ill patients in psychiatric and social residential care. It started on March 2007, with 11 centres and 10 countries participating.The Portuguese centre has carried out a national literature review of mental health legislation, standards of care related with residential care for mental patients, and mandatory procedures for physical restraint and seclusion.A three-round Delphi exercise with four groups of experts - advocates, mental health professionals, service users, and carers - was also developed. In the first round the participants were asked to state the ten more important components of care helping recovery in institutional care for the long-term mentally ill. The results were sent back to be rated for their importance on a 5-point scale. Finally, the participants were asked to confirm or change their own scores in comparison with the calculated group median. Between twelve and 18 participants by group were contacted, and the overall rate of participation was 73%.A pilot study using the first draft of the DEMoBinc instrument was done, and refinement of the instrument is being carried out in twenty institutions and will be completed during the next months.The results of the Portuguese centre on the national literature review, the Delphi exercise, and the first phase refinement of the DEMoBinc instrument will be presented and discussed.

Abstract Even though social isolation is a significant predictor of poor health and mortality in older adults, very little is known about social isolation in long-term care (LTC) settings. The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence, demographic characteristics, health outcomes, and disease diagnoses of residents without family contact in Alberta LTC homes. Using data collected between April 2008 and March 2018, we conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Resident Assessment Instrument, Minimum Data Set, (RAI-MDS 2.0) data from 34 LTC facilities in Alberta. We identified individuals who had no contact with family or friends. Using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression, we compared the characteristics, disease diagnoses, and functional status of individuals who had no contact with family and individuals who did have contact with family. We identified a cohort of 25,330 individuals, of whom 945 had no contact with family or friends. Different from residents who had family, the cohort with no contact was younger (81.47 years, SD=11.79), and had a longer length of stay (2.71 years, SD=3.63). For residents who had contact with family, residents with no contact had a greater number of mental health diagnoses, including depression (OR: 1.21, [95% CI: 1.06-1.39]), bipolar disorder (OR: 1.80, [95% CI: 1.22-2.68]), and schizophrenia (OR: 3.9, [95% CI: 2.96-5.14]). Interpretation: Residents without family contact had a number of unique care concerns, including mental health issues and poor health outcomes. These findings have implications for the training of staff and LTC services available to these vulnerable residents.

Abstract Objectives With the spread of COVID-19, the Netherlands implemented a policy to keep citizens physically distanced. We hypothesize that consequent reduction in the frequency of social contacts, personal losses, and the experience of general threats in society reduced well-being. Methods Data were collected from 1,679 Dutch community-dwelling participants aged 65–102 years comprising a longitudinal online panel. Social and emotional loneliness and mental health were measured in May 2020, that is, 2 months after the implementation of the measures, and earlier in October and November 2019. Results In this pandemic, the loneliness of older people increased, but mental health remained roughly stable. The policy measures for physical distancing did not cause much social isolation but personal losses, worries about the pandemic, and a decline in trust in societal institutions were associated with increased mental health problems and especially emotional loneliness. Discussion The consequences of long-term social isolation and well-being must be closely monitored.

The Impact

The emergence of a new Coronavirus Disease 2019-2022 has turned the globe down and disrupted main determinants of health. The world constitutes by more than 2.2 billion children, which is approximately 28% of the world's population. Compare to adult, this pandemic has a long -term adverse consequences among children and adolescents. The objective of this literature review was to examine the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on children and adolescent’s mental health. PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched from 07 April 2021 to 22 April 2021. A systematic literature search was performed in accordance with PRISMA and 07 literatures were selected. Among 16,169 samples, the mean percentage of male was higher 5 by 6.11% than female of 43.89%. Depression was mentioned in three studies and the percentages were 43.7% (n=8079), 22.6% (n=2330), and 22.8% (n=3613). Anxiety was mentioned in four studies and the percentages were 37.4% (n=8079), 18.9% (n=2330), and 23.87 ± 15.79 and 29.27 ± 19.79 (n=3613) and in one study according to CAQ and NRS, the level of anxiety was 19.4% and 21.8%. The combination of anxiety and depression was 31.3%. One study mentioned that pro social behaviour score was higher in females than males. In other two studies, various psychological symptoms are mentioned such as worry, fear, helplessness, boredom, difficulty in concentration, irritability, restlessness, nervousness, feeling of loneliness and uneasiness. These psychological symptoms have long-term effect on child’s health. Therefore, as a nurse, we should take care of the child and aware that the child and their parents regarding various psychological problems and its management.

PURPOSE: Ankyloglossia (commonly referred to as tongue-tie), is increasingly being reported as a significant contributory factor to difficulties experienced in establishing the mother–infant breastfeeding relationship. Frenotomy as a management option is contributing to international interest and interdisciplinary controversy. The aim of this article was to identify and examine the evidence in relation to frenotomy to inform practice for newborns diagnosed with symptomatic ankyloglossia.DESIGN: An integrated literature review, informed by Whittemore and Knafl (2005) was used to identify and evaluate contemporary evidence.MAJOR FINDINGS: There is a marked difference in opinion between health disciplines regarding frenotomy as a treatment option for ankyloglossia. There is agreement that support from a trained professional such as a lactation consultant prior to undergoing any invasive procedures to treat ankyloglossia is essential. Controversy persists however as to whether the condition will resolve spontaneously without treatment.CONCLUSION: Although frenotomy does seem to resolve breastfeeding difficulties, little is known regarding long-term consequences for the baby and optimal timing for the procedure. This review indicates a need for education of professionals and standardization of assessment processes along with ongoing research to identify efficacy and optimal timing of frenotomy when used.

Protection Measures

Introduction: The pandemic caused by the new coronavirus forced the adoption of several measures for individual and collective protection measures,  including isolation, which interrupted direct social contact and started to draw the attention of researchers due to its potential risk of damage to  people’s mental health, notably for the most sensitive groups, such as adolescents. Aim: This article presents some emotional repercussions observed in groups of adolescents, after six months of social isolation. Methodology: Literature retrieved through Google Scholar, Medline, PubMed, Scopus, Scielo, and Cochrane Library databases related to the mental health of adolescents during the period of social isolation determined by the coronavirus pandemic, published between January and July 2020. Results: The studies have found manifestations ranging from mild symptoms, such as boredom, inattention, agitation, irritability, fatigue and excessive worries to those of greater magnitude, such as worsening cognitive performance, exaggerated fear and varying degrees of anxiety and depression Conclusion: The data allow us to state that social isolation has immediate effects and probably also in the medium and long term, on the behavior and emotional health of adolescents. Both healthy teenagers and those who already have a change in the pre-existing emotional state must be carefully observed and supported during the most critical moments of this global crisis.

Narrative Literature Review

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic interstitial lung disease characterised by a progressive and irreversible decline in lung function, which is associated with poor long-term survival. The pathogenesis of IPF is incompletely understood. An accumulating body of evidence, obtained over the past three decades, suggests that occupational and environmental exposures may play a role in the development of IPF. This narrative literature review aims to summarise current understanding and the areas of ongoing research into the role of occupational and environmental exposures in the pathogenesis of IPF.

The Impact

Mental health is determined by a complex interplay between the Neurological Exposome and the Human Genome. Multiple genetic and non-genetic (exposome) factors interact early in life, modulating the risk of developing the most common complex neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), with potential long-term consequences on health. To date, the understating of the precise etiology underpinning these neurological alterations, and their clinical management pose a challenge. The crucial role played by diet and gut microbiota in brain development and functioning would indicate that modulating the gut-brain axis may help protect against the onset and progression of mental-health disorders. Some nutritional deficiencies and gut microbiota alterations have been linked to NDDs, suggesting their potential pathogenic implications. In addition, certain dietary interventions have emerged as promising alternatives or adjuvant strategies for improving the management of particular NDDs, at least in particular subsets of subjects. The gut microbiota can be a key to mediating the effects of other exposome factors such as diet on mental health, and ongoing research in Psychiatry and Neuropediatrics is developing Precision Nutrition Models to classify subjects according to a diet response prediction based on specific individual features, including microbiome signatures. Here, we review current scientific evidence for the impact of early life environmental factors, including diet, on gut microbiota and neuro-development, emphasizing the potential long-term consequences on health; and also summarize the state of the art regarding the mechanisms underlying diet and gut microbiota influence on the brain–gut axis. Furthermore, we describe the evidence supporting the key role played by gut microbiota, diet and nutrition in neurodevelopment, as well as the effectiveness of certain dietary and microbiome-based interventions aimed at preventing or treating NDDs. Finally, we emphasize the need for further research to gain greater insight into the complex interplay between diet, gut microbiome and brain development. Such knowledge would help towards achieving tailored integrative treatments, including personalized nutrition.

Institutional Abuse

Between 2% and 10% of all older people are estimated to be victims of abuse. Isolation, frailty, dementia and dependency are all risk factors. Abuse and mistreatment occur in all contexts - family members are often implicated in domestic settings and paid workers in care settings. Whatever its aetiology abuse, in all its guises, has profoundly negative mental health consequences, including depression, anxiety, learned helplessness and post-traumatic stress disorder. These are pronounced in situations where exposure to abuse has been long term. At present all ‘types’ of abuse - domestic abuse, sexual violence, institutional abuse, abuse by a relative -are managed under the institutional umbrella of ‘safeguarding’. This model not only uncouples abuse from its (often) lifecourse roots but tends to foreground age as its defining dimension. Most policy related literature does not refer to frailty, socioeconomic disadvantage, gender, or issues of power. As power lies at the very heart of abuse of older people in all contexts this is a profound oversight. Policy and practice responses struggle to accommodate the complex causes of abuse, structural issues, or the perspective of the older person. They also fail to engage with a discourse of rights and social justice.
