<p align="center"><strong><em>ABSTRACT</em></strong></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><em>                </em><em>During the Corona Virus Disease-2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, which has been going on for almost 1 (one) year, many people feel confused, anxious, afraid, and some are also frustrated. This pandemic has an impact on various sectors, such as economy, education, tourism, social and many more. Feelings of fear of contracting and facing death alone and other worries that everyone thinks about so that the level of stress is getting higher. There has been a change in lifestyle that is usually spent with friends now mostly alone at home or boarding house. Those who already have a family have a heavier burden, especially when it comes to dealing with work when working from home or WFH. Coupled with taking care of children's school and household activities. Stress is a person's emotional response caused by external problems or when facing various life problems. To some extent, stress is needed to be prepared to face the threat of problems. This kind of stress is called eustress or normal stress. However, if the stress is prolonged and causes suffering to turn into distress and can cause mental health problems, this should be avoided. One way to deal with stress during a pandemic can be done by making pictures. As stated by Herawati and Iriaji, they argue that drawing is a tool to express thoughts. During a pandemic when people are worried about leaving the house, coloring books are an alternative to relieve stress. But the obstacle is that people are afraid to leave the house to buy books and also during the economic situation in the family that must be regulated because many do not receive full salaries, so making their own coloring books is an alternative.</em><em></em></p><p><strong><em><br /></em></strong><em></em></p><p> </p>

Additional Support

Objective: To examine whether links between psychiatric services and family physicians can be strengthened and additional support provided for family physicians if a psychiatrist is available by phone to respond to clinical calls from family physicians. Method: A psychiatrist, who visited 18 family physicians in 5 practices on a regular basis to provide clinical consultations, was available to provide telephone backup concerning mental health problems the family physicians encountered. All calls received by the psychiatrist were documented and analysed at the end of a 12-month period. Results: Over the course of one year, 128 calls were received from the 5 practices. Fifty were considered urgent, while 78 involved more routine management or medication issues. Telephone advice enabled the family physicians to handle these cases more effectively, often reducing utilization of other mental health services and providing support that was not otherwise available. The average time spent per call was 8 minutes, which meant the psychiatrist was only spending 20 minutes per week on the phone responding to family physicians' requests. Conclusion: Providing telephone backup to family physicians is a time-efficient and effective method of supporting family physicians and reducing utilization of mental health services. It is applicable to psychiatrists working in any clinical setting.

Background: The World Health Organization declared the Corona Virus Disease 19 (Covid-19) a pandemic in March 2020. Psychological impact of Covid-19 can be consisent and should be prevented with adequate measures. Methods: We performed a literature mini review searching for studies in PubMed focusing on the psychological/psychiatric impact of Covid-19.Results: The selection process yielded 34 papers focusing on the relation between Covid-19 and mental health: 9 correspondence, 8 letters to the editor, 7 commentaries, 3 editorials, 4 original studies, 2 brief reports, and 1 a rapid review. The majority of the articles were performed in China. They focused on the general population and particular categories considered more fragile, e.g., psychiatric patients, older adults, international migrant workers, homeless people. Authors are unanimous in believing that Covid-19 will likely increase the risk of mental health problems and worsen existing psychiatric disorders/symptoms in patients, exposed subjects, and staff. Together with the negative emotionality related to the unpredictability of the situation, uncertainty concerning the risk, excessive fear, fear of death, loneliness, guilt, stigma, denial, anger, frustration, boredome, some symptoms might appear such as insomnia until patophobia (specifically, coronaphobia), depressive and anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and suicidal risk.Limitations: Literature is rapidly increasing and present results are only partial. Conclusions: Mental health care should not be overlooked in this moment. The experience of China should be of help for all the countries facing with Covid-19, among them Italy.

Aim: This study was part of a broader project to examine the acceptability, feasibility and impact of a transdiagnostic mental health drop-in centre offering brief psychological assessment and treatment for children and young people and/or their families with mental health needs in the context of long-term physical health conditions (LTCs). The aims of this investigation were to characterise: (i) the use of such a centre, (ii) the demographics and symptoms of those presenting to the centre, and (iii) the types of support that are requested and/or indicated. Methods: A mental health “booth” was located in reception of a national paediatric hospital over one year. Characteristics of young people with LTCs and their siblings/parents attending the booth were defined. Emotional/behavioural symptoms were measured using standardised questionnaires including the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Participants subsequently received one of four categories of intervention: brief transdiagnostic cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), referral to other services, neurodevelopmental assessment or signposting to resources. Results: One hundred and twenty-eight participants were recruited. The mean age of young people was 9.14 years (standard deviation: 4.28); 61% identified as white and 45% were male. Over half of young people recruited scored in the clinical range with respect to the SDQ. Presenting problems included: anxiety (49%), challenging behaviour (35%), low mood (22%) and other (15%). Conclusions: A considerable proportion of young people with LTC in a paediatric hospital scored in the clinical range for common mental health problems, indicating a potential for psychological interventions.

Brief Screening

Chest pain is highly prevalent in adolescence, represents a considerable burden for health services, and rarely associated with cardiac disease. Since psychosocial factors are related to chest pain there is a need for exploring the accompanying family functioning and mental health problems in adolescents with non-cardiac chest pain. Here, we assessed these determinants in 68 adolescents with non-cardiac chest pain and 68 age and-sex matched control participants using the 4-item Patient Health Questionnaire-4 for a brief screening for anxiety and depression and the Family APGAR Scale to assess the perception of family functioning. Adolescents with non-cardiac chest pain reported more depression, anxiety and experienced impaired family functioning (p=0.003, p<0.001, p<0.001). The results indicated that non-cardiac chest pain is a warning sign of an underlying mental health problem with accompanying family issues and it deserves further psychosocial investigation including anxiety, depression, and impaired satisfaction of the adolescents’ family’s responsiveness.

As with minority groups internationally, Pacific peoples in New Zealand (Pasifika) experience higher rates of mental health problems than the general population, and are less likely to access mental health services. This study investigated the barriers and supports for Pasifika accessing and using mental health services with participation of 25 Pasifika (10 service-providers, 11 ex-service-users, and 4 ex-service-users/providers) in order to gain their key informant perspectives. A Pasifika-appropriate Talanoa approach was used to guide the data-collection process and the qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Barriers included stigma among Pasifika regarding mental health problems, commitment to finding solutions within the family, and both mistrust and lack of knowledge of services. Within the services, non-Pasifika providers often lacked understanding of the collectivist cultural values and practices of Pasifika, including spiritual beliefs. They were more likely to use services if the providers were respectful of Pasifika practices and paid attention to developing relationships in a culturally appropriate way. This included involvement of the Pasifika family, when possible. Service-users often benefited from contact with Pasifika providers within mainstream services. These results support previous cross-cultural research that indicates the importance of offering evaluation and intervention services grounded in an understanding and respect for the cultural significance and meaning of mental health problems for the person, the family, and their community. While efforts are made to address these issues in New Zealand, change is slow and ongoing cultural training for service-providers along with psychoeducation for Pasifika about mental health services is strongly desirable.
