BACKGROUND Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has provided social isolation with a potential negative impact on the educational routine, including the suspension of face-to-face appointments, and mental health of medical students. The Mario Pinotti II study (MPII) is a 24-week observational study with scheduled telephone calls every 2 weeks to verify the occurrence of the COVID-19 in rheumatic patients on hydroxychloroquine chronically (from 29th, March, 2020 to 30th, September, 2020). The effects of voluntary participation in a research project, which foresees interaction by telephone contact with patients, professors, rheumatologists, and colleagues on the daily life and mental health of medical students requires evaluation. OBJECTIVE Objectives: Considering that medical students are professionals in training with a high level of responsibility to handle emotional and physical aspects related to several diseases, this study has the aim of evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and participation in the MPII study, on the educational routine and mental health of medical students. METHODS Methods: A web-based survey was carried out to perform a cross-sectional comparative assessment between medical students participating in the MPII study and other their colleagues who are not involved in this research project, matched to sex, age and medical school. The web questionnaire was developed by a panel composed of graduate medical students, rheumatologists, medical school professors, and a psychology professor and it included details on demographic and life habits data, as well as evaluation of participants' impression about the MPII study and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their educational routine and medical training. In addition, the depressive, anxiety, and stress domains were evaluated using the DASS-21 (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale), Brazilian version, and, lately, the scores were grouped as low, moderate and high risk for mental distress. This project was approved by the Federal University of São Paulo Ethics Committee (CAAE: 30246120.3.1001.5505). RESULTS Results: Data collection was applied for all 2 medical student groups from July 20th to August 31st, 2020. Data extraction is ongoing. Analysis is scheduled to start after extraction is completed. CONCLUSIONS Conclusions: This study will bring light into the effects of participating in a research project on depressive, anxiety, and stress domains by using the DASS-21 (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale) in large sampling of medical students and the evaluation of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on students educational routine and medical training. CLINICALTRIAL This is not a clinical trial.

Place and Duration of Study: Superior University, University of Management and Technology, University of Lahore, Lahore Medical and Dental College and Imperial University, from Apr to Jul 2019. Methodology: Study was conducted on 358 students of physical therapy. Non-probability purposive sampling technique was used for data collection. Standard student Stress Inventory scale was used for the measurement of stress among students. Results: Mean age of all the students in this study was 21.26 ± 1.997 with minimum of 18 years and with maximum of 25 years. There were 254 (70.9%) female students and 104 (29.1%) male students who participated in the study. Results showed 14.15% “Mild Stress”, 58.44% “Moderate Stress” and 27.4% “Severe Stress” in “Pre-Clinical Stage (1st - 4th semester)”. Chi-square test described a p-value of <0.001 (less than alpha level, α=0.05) for gender, semester of study and clinical practice which showed a strong association among these variables and students’ stress level. Conclusion: Stress levels were more significant in females than males. “Severe Stress” was more prominent in ninth semester, “Moderate Stress” was more prevalent in third semester students and “Mild Stress” was highly present in sixth semester. Level of stress was more worthy of attention in “Pre-Clinical” students who were not doing any clinical practice.

Aim: To assess stress among antenatal women admitted for safe confinement and to find stress level and related factors for stress. Identifying the level of stress will help to develop interventions to reduce the stress. Objectives: i) To find out the level of stress experienced by antenatal women. ii) To find out the association between level of stress and selected socio-demographic and clinical data of antenatal women. Method: A quantitative research approach-descriptive cross-sectional survey design was adopted. 60 samples were selected for the study by using purposive sampling technique. Results: It is identified that 1% of selected antenatal women had no stress, 73% had mild stress, 25% had moderate stress and 1% had severe stress. After calculation of chi square values, it is identified that there is association between stress level and selected sociodemographic variables (occupation) and also there is significant association between stress level and clinical data (parity). Conclusion: Majority of women in their antenatal period experience varying stress. 73.33% of them had mild stress where as 26.66% experienced moderate stress. Extreme levels of stress including no stress and severe stress were very rare ie, 1%. Multiple factors have association with their stress level.

Abstract Background For a small minority of personnel, military service can have a negative impact on their mental health. Yet no studies have assessed how the mental health of UK veterans (who served during the recent operations in Afghanistan or Iraq) compares to non-veterans, to determine if they are at a disadvantage. We examine the prevalence of mental disorders and alcohol misuse in UK veterans compared to non-veterans. Methods Veteran data were taken from the third phase of the King's Centre for Military Health Research cohort study (n = 2917). These data were compared with data on non-veterans taken from two large general population surveys: 2014 Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey (n = 5871) and wave 6 of the UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS, n = 22 760). Results We found that, overall, UK veterans who served at the time of recent military operations were more likely to report a significantly higher prevalence of common mental disorders (CMD) (23% v. 16%), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (8% v. 5%) and alcohol misuse (11% v. 6%) than non-veterans. Stratifying by gender showed that the negative impact of being a veteran on mental health and alcohol misuse was restricted to male veterans. Being ill or disabled was associated with a higher prevalence of CMD and PTSD for both veterans and non-veterans. Conclusion Whilst the same sociodemographic groups within the veteran and non-veteran populations seemed to have an increased risk of mental health problems (e.g. those who were unemployed), male veterans, in particular, appear to be at a distinct disadvantage compared to those who have never served.

AbstractBackgroundThe improved survival of patients born with CHD has led to increasing interest in research on quality of life of adult survivors. We report the findings of the first study in Malta carried out to investigate quality of life in adults with CHD under follow-up.MethodsA self-reporting questionnaire modelled on the basis of the European Health Interview Survey 2008, including questions on mental health and vitality, was administered to consecutive adult CHD outpatients, aged 16 years and over, between May, 2013 and May, 2014. Foreigners and patients with learning difficulties or cognitive impairment were excluded. Quality-of-life data were compared with that from 371 age- and sex-matched 2008 survey responders – general population cohort. The impact of congenital lesion complexity, hospitalisation in the preceding 12 months, arrhythmias, co-morbidities, and cardiac medication use on quality of life of the CHD cohort was also investigated.ResultsThere were a total of 120 patient responders (63 males; mean age 30.53, SD 12.77 years). Overall, there were no significant differences in mental health and vitality between patient and general population cohorts, although older patients had better mental health scores compared with age-matched controls. Within the adult CHD cohort, hospitalisation in the preceding 12 months was the only factor associated with a poorer quality of life.ConclusionsOverall, CHD has no negative impact on mental health and vitality in Maltese adult patients under follow-up. Patients needing frequent hospitalisations might warrant closer attention by clinical psychologists.
