Salah satu dampak psikologis yang ditemui saat pandemi Covid-19 adalah distres psikologis yang dialami tenaga kesehatan khususnya perawat. Distres psikologis memunculkan efek membahayakan bagi individu seperti, tuntutan berlebihan yang menguras energi individu sehingga membuat individu menjadi lebih mudah sakit.Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan ruang bertugas dan optimisme dengan distres psikologis yang meliputi stres, kecemasan dan depresi pada perawat selama pandemi Covid-19 di RS Paru Provinsi Sumatera Barat tahun 2020. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskripsi korelatif, dengan populasi 35 perawat. Optimisme diukur dengan kuesioner Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R), stres diukur dengan kuesioner Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), kecemasan diukur dengan kuesioner General Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), dan depresi diukur dengan kuesioner Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara ruang bertugas dengan distres psikologis yaitu stres, kecemasan dan depresi pada perawat selama pandemi Covid-19 dengan nilai p= 0.003 (stres), p= 0.008 (kecemasan), p= 0.046 (depresi) dengan p<0,05. Serta terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara optimisme dengan distres psikologis yaitu stres, kecemasan dan depresi pada perawat selama pandemi Covid-19 dengan nilai p= <0,05. Disarankan pada pihak manajemen keperawatan di rumah sakit perlu meningkatkan program manajemen stres bagi tenaga keperawatan, sehingga dapat meminimalisir adanya distres psikologis yang diterima perawat.Kata Kunci: distres psikologis; optimisme; ruang bertugas OPTIMISM AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS IN NURSES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ABSTRACT  The psychological impact that is encountered during the Covid-19 pandemic is the psychological distress experienced by health workers, especially nurse. Psychological distress has harmful effects on the individual who experiences it, such as unpleasant or excessive demands that drain the individual's energy, making it easier for the individual to get sick. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between department and optimism with psychological distress including perceived stress, anxiety and depression in nurses and to determine the distress that nurses felt during the Covid-19 pandemic at the Pulmonology Hospital West Sumatera in 2020. The type of study was a descriptive correlative, with a population of 35 nurses. Optimization was measured using the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) questionnaire, perceived stress was measured by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) questionnaire, anxiety was measured using the General Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) questionnaire, and depression was measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). The results showed that there is a significant relationship between department and psychological distress, perceived stress, anxiety and depression in nurses during the Covid-19 pandemic with a value of p <0.05. And there is a significant relationship between optimism and psychological distress, perceived stress, anxiety and depression in nurses during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is suggested that the nursing management at the hospital needs to increase the stress management program for nursing personnel, so that it can minimize the psychological distress received by nurses.Keywords: department; optimism; psychological distress

We aimed to explore psychological effects of the coronavirus pandemic on Hungarian adults in the time of the national quarantine situation in May 2020.We conducted a cross-sectional observational study with the use of an anonymous online questionnaire that consisted of 65 items. The following measuring instruments were used: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10); The General Anxiety Disorder Assessment (GAD)-2; The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-2; European Quality of Life Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS); Self-administered inventory of complaints (Hungarian questionnaire); Shortened (Hungarian) version of the Ways of Coping Questionnaire; 2 open-ended questions to examine the participants’ mood and ways of coping during the pandemic. The data of 431 participants were analyzed, their average age was 47.53 ± 11.66 years, and the percentage of females was 90%. The mean of participants’ scores were the following: 19.34 ± 7.97 for perceived stress, 73.05 ± 21.73 for health status, and 8.68 ± 4.65 for neurotic complaints. Thirty-four and one-tenth percent of participants were depressed, 36.2% were anxious, and they tended to use problem-focused coping strategies more frequently than emotion-focused ones. We found significant correlations between all of the seven examined psychological variables. Our results highlight the importance of stress management in the psychological support of healthy adults in quarantine situation caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The present study investigated what complaints are prominent in psychologically distressed Vietnamese in Vietnam beyond standard symptoms assessed by Western diagnostic instruments for anxiety and depression. To form the initial Vietnamese Symptom and Cultural Syndrome Addendum (VN SSA), we reviewed the literature, consulted experts, and conducted focus groups. The preliminary VN SSA was then used in a general survey (N = 1004) of five provinces in Vietnam. We found that the VN SSA items were highly and significantly correlated with a measure of anxious-depressive psychopathology (a composite measure of the General Anxiety Disorder-7; Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale; and Patient Health Questionnaire-9). The VN SSA item most highly correlated to anxious-depressive psychopathology was “thinking a lot” ( r = .54), reported by 15.8% of the sample. Many other symptoms in the addendum also were prominent, such as orthostatic dizziness (i.e., dizziness upon standing up; r = .41), reported by 22.9% of the sample. By way of comparison, somatic complaints more typically assessed to profile Western anxious-depressive distress, such as palpitations, were less prominent, as evidenced by being less strongly correlated to Western psychiatric symptoms and being less frequent (e.g., palpitations: r = .31, 7.1% of the sample). Study results suggest that to avoid category truncation when profiling anxious-depressive distress among Vietnamese that items other than those in standard psychopathology measures should also be assessed.

The psychometric properties of Scheier and Carver's 1985 Life Orientation Test (LOT), which is a measure of optimism, were examined as part of a study of education, training, work experience, and expectations of sentenced adult prisoners in Western Australia. All prisoners at five metropolitan public prisons were invited to participate and 453 accepted. This represented a response rate overall of about 41%, with response rates at each of the individual prisons ranging from 13% to 90%. The average age of the prisoner sample was 34.4 yr. ( SD= 10.2 yr.). The proportion of men in the sample was 79.7%. Mean sentence length was 66.9 mo. (58.5 for women and 69.2 for men), and the number of months of sentence remaining averaged 44.4 mo. (41.0 for women and 45.3 for men). Means and standard deviations of the LOT scores for prisoners were similar to those of other groups, and demographic differences between prisoners were not statistically significantly related to scores. The internal reliability of the LOT scores was acceptable. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that the two-factor item-keying model fitted the prisoner data better than a one-factor model. However, the two factors did not simply reflect underlying optimism and pessimism constructs but were substantially affected by item keying.

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to affect millions worldwide and has posed unique challenges to healthcare professionals. Caring for patients during a pandemic may have negative impacts on their mental health. We describe the first part of a study using a mixed-method sequential explanatory design (QUANT→QUAL). This quantitative part examines the experiences of healthcare professionals during the pandemic in a University Hospital in Italy. We performed a cross-sectional hospital-based survey involving all healthcare professionals between 19 May 2020 and 3 June 2020. Perceived Stress Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire, and General Anxiety Disorder scores were calculated, in order to assess how the pandemic emergency changed the occupational and social habits of the healthcare professionals. The mean age of the 275 respondents was 47 years and females accounted for 80.2%. A total of 29.8% had a Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) score ≥25, 22.9% scored ≥15 on the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) scale, and 17.1% scored ≥15 on the General Anxiety Disorder (GAD) scale. Stress symptoms were mostly manifested for interviewees over 55, females, those who live far from their family, those who have only one child, and those who had a qualification lower than high school or who had a medical specialization. Our findings show a relevant level of psychological distress, anxiety, and depression in up to 30% of the sample, highlighting a significant psychological burden in all professionals.

Abstract Background: This study reports on the changes in stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms of subscribers after 3 months using Text4Hope, a supportive text messaging program designed to provide support during the pandemic. Methods: Standardized self-report measures were used to evaluate perceived stress (measured with the Perceived Stress Scale-10 [PSS-10]), anxiety (measured with the General Anxiety Disorder Scale 7 [GAD-7]), and depressive symptoms (measured with the Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ-9]), at baseline and 3rd month (n = 373). Results: After 3 months of using Text4Hope, subscribers’ self-reports revealed significant (p< 0.001) mean score reductions compared with baseline on: the GAD-7 by 22.7%, PHQ-9 by 10.3%, and PSS-10 scores by 5.7%. Reductions in inferred prevalence rates for moderate to high symptoms were also observed, with anxiety demonstrating the largest reduction (15.7%). Conclusions: Observed Text4Hope-related reductions in psychological distress during COVID-19 indicate that Text4Hope is an effective, convenient, and accessible means of implementing a population-level psychological intervention.

Abstract Introduction Previous studies have reported little correlation between sino-nasal outcome test (SNOT-22) in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and objective radiological scoring. We investigated whether anxiety and depression, which are highly prevalent in patients with CRS may cause symptom amplification and account for the lack of correlation in previous studies. Method 100 patients with CRS were evaluated using the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), SNOT-22 and Lund Mackay Score (LMS). Results Overall correlation analysis did not show a significant relationship between SNOT-22 and LMS. Subgroup analysis of patients without anxiety or depression showed a significant correlation between SNOT-22 and LMS. We also observed a significant difference in both median SNOT-22 and LMS between patients who suffered with both anxiety and depression and patients without either. Conclusions When CRS patients who do not have anxiety and depression are analysed in isolation, or when these conditions are controlled in a multivariable regression, there is a significant correlation between radiological findings and symptom score. This correlation is absent in patients with anxiety and depression. Anxiety and depression should be considered in patients in whom there is a mismatch in symptom and radiological disease severity as it is associated with symptom amplification.

Zusammenfassung. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie ist die Untersuchung der psychometrischen Eigenschaften, faktoriellen Struktur und konvergenten Validität der deutschsprachigen Version des Parent Rated Life Orientation Test of Children (PLOT) zur Messung von Optimismus und Pessimismus bei 4 bis 6-jährigen Vorschulkindern. Eltern von 145 Kindergartenkindern (77 Mädchen; Alter: M = 5.0, SD = 0.6 Jahre) schätzten Optimismus und Pessimismus sowie Emotionsregulation der Kinder ein. Außerdem wurde das Problemverhalten der Kinder (Eltern- und Erzieherinneneinschätzung) erfasst. Konsistent zu Studien mit Schulkindern und Jugendlichen zeigte sich eine zweidimensionale Faktorenstruktur mit einem Optimismus- und einem Pessimismusfaktor. Die Ergebnisse ergaben theoriekonforme Zusammenhänge mit Problemverhalten und Emotionsregulation der Kinder. Insgesamt weisen die gefundenen Reliabilitäts- und Validitätswerte auf eine gute Verwendbarkeit des PLOT bei Vorschulkindern hin. Das neue Messverfahren kann einen Beitrag zum besseren Verständnis von Zukunftserwartungen bei Vorschulkindern leisten und als Screening-Instrument zur Identifikation von Kindern mit einem Entwicklungsrisiko dienen.
