Attitudes, Stressors and Work Outcomes related to the COVID-19 Pandemic among Dental Assistants in Germany: A cross-sectional Study
<p>This dataset stems from across-sectional study conducted early April 2020 among n=1481 dental assistants from entire Germany during the peak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The study questionnaire was distributed online with help of the Association of Medical Professionals on their social media channels. The collected data provides insights into major stressors among dental assistants at the peak of the pandemic in Germany and allows for analysis of possible determinants of major stressors via logistic regression analysis. No funding was obtained for this study. </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Dataset information: </strong></p> <p>File type: SPSS file (.sav)</p> <p>Study type: Cross-sectional study</p> <p>Population: Dental assistants in Germany</p> <p>Study period: April 7th-April 14th, 2020</p> <p>Number of participants: 1481</p> <p>Research question: Investigation of attitudes, stressors and work outcomes related to the COVID-19 pandemic among dental assistants in Germany</p> <p>Missing values: None </p> <p>Original variables: v_982, v_1, v_2, v_3, v_5, v_6, v_7, v_10, v_11, v_13, v_14, v_21, v_22, v_23, v_24, v_26, v_27, v_28, v_29, v_31, v_32, v_33, v_40, v_41, v_42, v_43, v_46, v_47, v_48, v_49, v_52, v_57, Beruf_ZFA</p> <p>Modification of variables: All other variables were calculated from the original variables bei either rescaling or dichotomization. </p> <p>Dichotomization of attitudes, stressors and work outcomes: <br> Answer options "Strongly disagree" and "Disagree" were labelled as "no"<br> Answer options "Agree" and "Strongly Agree" were labelled as "yes"</p> <p>Dichotomization of self-rated health:<br> Answer options "Very bad", "Bad" and "Moderate" were labelled as "Bad".<br> Answer options "Good" and "Very good" were labelled as "Good". </p> <p>Rescaling of the variable "Where do you currently work?":<br> Participants who stated "dental practice" as their place of work were labelled as working in a "dental practice".

Outdoor activity participation improves adolescents' mental health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic
<p>The COVID-19 pandemic is reshaping human interactions with the natural environment, generating profound consequences for health and well-being. To assess the effects of COVID-19 on the outdoor recreation participation and well-being of adolescents we conducted a nationally representative survey of youth ages 10-18 across the United States (n = 624) using a Qualtrics XM panel between April 30 and June 15, 2020. Survey questions focused on frequency of participation in several types of outdoor activities before and during the pandemic. Activity categories included outdoor play activities (e.g., running, biking), nature-based activities (e.g., camping, fishing), and spending outdoor time with family. We assessed changes in the psychological health of youth using a four-item subjective well-being scale validated by the World Health Organization. Paired t-tests revealed significant decreases in both outdoor recreation participation (64% of youth reported declines) and subjective well-being (52% reported declines) during the pandemic. A regression model examining correlates of changes in subjective well-being (<i>R<sup>2</sup></i>=0.42) revealed strong associations between subjective well-being and changes in outdoor play activities (<i>B</i>=0.44, <i>p</i><0.001) and changes in nature-based activities (<i>B</i>=0.21, <i>p</i>=0.016). Youth who continued to participate in these activities during COVID-19 reported significantly smaller drops in subjective well-being, whereas youth whose outdoor participation waned were more negatively impacted by the pandemic. Furthermore, youth who reported high levels of outdoor play activity participation before the pandemic were also less likely to experience post-COVID-19 declines in subjective well-being. These results contribute to our understanding of adolescent psychological reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as highlighting the critical role that time outdoors and time in nature can play in bolstering youth resilience to environmental stressors.</p>
Comparison of outcomes of neurosurgical operations performed before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: a matched cohort study
<p><strong>Objective</strong><br> To determine how the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic affected outcomes for all operatively managed neurosurgical patients, not only those positive for SARS-CoV-2.</p> <p><strong>Design</strong><br> Matched cohort (pairwise method).</p> <p><strong>Setting</strong><br> A single tertiary neurosurgical referral centre at a large UK Major Trauma Centre.</p> <p><strong>Participants</strong><br> During the first COVID-19 wave, 231 neurosurgical cases were performed. These cases were matched to cases from 2019. Cases were matched for age (±10 years), primary pathology and surgical procedure. Cases were excluded from analysis if either the age could not be matched to within 10 years, or the primary pathology or procedure was too unique. After exclusions, 191 cases were included in final analysis</p> <p><strong>Outcome measures</strong><br> Primary outcomes were 30-day mortality and postoperative pulmonary complications. Secondary outcomes included Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) on discharge, length of stay (LoS), operative and anaesthetic times and grade of primary surgeon. An exploratory outcome was the SARS-CoV-2 status of patients.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong><br> There was no significant difference between the pandemic and matched cohorts in 30-day mortality, pulmonary complications, discharge GOS, LoS, operative or anaesthetic times. There was a significant difference in the variation of grade of primary surgeon. Only 2.2% (n=5) of patients had a SARS-CoV-2 positive swab.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong><br> During the first UK wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the mortality, morbidity and functional outcomes of operatively managed neurosurgical patients at University Hospitals Birmingham were not significantly affected compared with normal practice. The grade of primary surgeon was significantly more senior and adds to the growing body of evidence that demonstrates how the pandemic has negatively impacted UK surgical training. Mixing COVID-19 positive, unknown and negative cases did not significantly impact on outcomes and indicates that further research is required to support the implementation of evidence-based surgical pathways, such as COVID-light sites, throughout the next stage of the pandemic.</p>
Frequency of depressive symptoms in Syrian refugees and Turkish maintenance hemodialysis patients during COVID-19 pandemic
<p><strong>Introduction:</strong> Pneumonia of unknown cause was detected on 30 December 2019 in China. It was categorized as an outbreak and named as COVID-19 by the World Health Organization. The pandemic affects all people, but patient groups such as hemodialysis (HD) patients have been particularly affected. We do not know if refugees suffered more during the outbreak. In this study, we compared depressive symptom frequency between Syrian refugee HD patients and Turkish ones.</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> The study had a single-center, cross-sectional design. Demographic and clinical data were collected retrospectively from patients' files containing details about past medical history, demographic variables and laboratory values. Validated Turkish and Arabic forms of Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used to assess depressive symptoms. BDI scores were compared according to nationality, demographic features and clinical data. A BDI score more than 14 was accepted as suspicion of depression.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> 119 patients were enrolled in the study. After the exclusion of 22 patients, 75 Turkish and 22 Syrian patients were included for further analysis. The median BDI (interquartile range) score for Turkish and Syrian patients were 12 (7-23) and 19.5 (12.7-25.2), respectively (p=0.03). Suspicion of depression was present at 42.7% of Turkish, and 72.7% of Syrian HD patients (p=0.013). Regarding all patients, phosphorus level, Kt/V, and nationality were significantly different between patients with and without suspicion of depression (p=0.023, 0.039, 0.013, respectively).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Syrian patients had higher BDI scores and more depressive symptoms than Turkish patients. Additional national measures for better integration and more mental support to Syrian HD patients are needed. </p>

Data from: The influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the demand for different shades of green
<p>COVID-19 has heightened the dependence of urban dwellers on cultural ecosystem services provided by urban green spaces (UGS), specifically in regard to the provision of recreational opportunities, and psychological and physical health benefits arising from their use.</p> <p>As different types and levels of cultural ecosystem services are provided by different types of UGS, people may seek out different UGS to satisfy personal needs over various phases of COVID-19 mobility restrictions imposed by cities. We report on a study that took advantage of the different phases of COVID-19 mobility restrictions to assess the demand for and perception of different types of UGS in Singapore.</p> <p>The study utilised four data sets to compare demand for and visitorship patterns of UGS before the pandemic (Pre-Circuit Breaker), the duration of the strictest mobility restrictions (Circuit Breaker), and after the measures were relaxed (Post-Circuit Breaker). We used Google Search trends as a proxy for UGS demand, Google mobility data for an overview of population visitorship trends, visitor counts for granular insights on actual visitorship trends, and qualitative data on perception of parks by park visitors after restrictions eased. Parks were categorised as manicured and less manicured UGS for analysis.</p> <p>Search interest for UGS overall fell by more than 50% from during Circuit Breaker but the post-Circuit Breaker levels exceeded pre-Circuit Breaker, with a 70.9% increase for less manicured UGS compared to 20.8% for manicured UGS. This corroborated with Google mobility and visitor counts, which showed a steep decrease in park use followed by a rapid increase in the same periods, and with increased visitorship in the less manicured UGS. The perception study also showed that more than 50% of respondents reported visiting parks that they have never visited before, and there was a greater appreciation and use of UGS after the pandemic and preference for less manicured and more naturalistic landscapes.</p> <p>The pandemic has heightened the demand for cultural ecosystem services provided by UGS. Our study showed that this demand is not uniform across different types of UGS, with an increase visitorship and preference for less manicured green spaces.</p>

Dataset related to article "COVID-19 and Lombardy: TESTing the impact of the first wave of the pandemic"
<p>The .xlsx file contains raw data related to the article "<strong>COVID-19 and Lombardy: TESTing the impact of the first wave of the pandemic</strong>. <em>EBioMedicine</em>. 2020 Nov;61:103069<em>", </em>available at the following <a href="https://www.thelancet.com/action/showPdf?pii=S2352-3964%2820%2930445-X">link</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p><em>Background</em>: Italy was the first western country to experience a large Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak and the province of Bergamo experienced one of the deadliest COVID-19 outbreaks in the world. Following the peak of the epidemic in mid-March, the curve has slowly fallen thanks to the strict lockdown imposed by the Italian government on 9th March 2020.</p> <p><em>Methods</em>: We performed a cross-sectional study to assess the prevalence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in 423 workers in Bergamo province who returned to the workplace after the end of the Italian lockdown on 5th May 2020. To this end, we performed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect the humoral response against SARS-CoV-2 and a nasopharyngeal swab to assess the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR). As a secondary aim of the study, we validated a lateral flow immunochromatography assay (LFIA) for the detection of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.</p> <p><em>Findings</em>: ELISA identified 38.5% positive subjects, of whom 51.5% were positive for both IgG and IgM, 47.3% were positive only for IgG, but only 1.2% were positive for IgM alone. Only 23 (5.4%) participants tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by rRT-PCR, although with high cycle thresholds (between 34 and 39), indicating a very low residual viral load that was not able to infect cultured cells. All these rRT-PCR positive subjects had already experienced seroconversion. When the ELISA was used as the comparator, the estimated specificity and sensitivity of the rapid LFIA for IgG were 98% and 92%, respectively.</p> <p><em>Interpretation</em>: the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the province of Bergamo reached 38.5%, significantly higher than has been reported for most other regions worldwide. Few nasopharyngeal swabs tested positive in fully recovered subjects, though with a very low SARS-CoV-2 viral load, with implications for infectivity and discharge policies for positive individuals in the post-pandemic period. The rapid LFIA used in this study is a valuable tool for rapid serologic surveillance of COVID-19 for population studies.</p>

Challenges of students and residents of human medicine in the first four months of the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic – Implications for future waves and scenarios
<p><strong>Introduction:</strong> In the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, medical students and residents are expected to adapt and contribute in a healthcare environment characterized by ever-changing measures and policies. The aim of this narrative review is to provide a summary of the literature that addresses the challenges of students and residents of human medicine in the first four months of the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic in order to identify gaps and find implications areas for improvement within the current situation and for potential future scenarios. <br> <strong>Methods:</strong> We performed a systematic literature search and content analysis (CA) of articles available in English language that address the challenges of students and residents of human medicine in the first four months of the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.<br> <strong>Results:</strong> We retrieved 82 articles from a wide range of journals, professional backgrounds and countries. CA identified five recurring subgroup topics: «faculty preparation», «uncertaintiesy and mental health», «clinical knowledge», «rights and obligations» and «(self-) support and supply». Within these subgroups the main concerns of «(re)deployment», «interruption of training and career», «safety issues», «transmission of disease», and «restricted social interaction» were identified as potential stressors that hold a risk for fatigue, loss of morale and burnout.<br> <strong>Discussion:</strong> Students and residents are willing and able to participate in the fight against Covid-19 when provided with appropriate deployment to areas of need, thorough supervision, legal guidance, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)safety measures and, clinical necessary knowledge, thorough supervision, social integration and mental health support. Preceding interviews to decide on reasonable voluntary deployment, the use of new technology and frequent feedback communication with faculties, educators and policymakers can further help with a successful and sustainable integration of students and residents in the fight against the pandemic.Faculties and policymakers should be in close contact with the youngest in training and be cognizant of their concerns and intrinsic creativity on the scenario. The use of new technology for interaction and knowledge provision, preceding interviews to decide on reasonable voluntary deployment and the provision of mental health support seem important measures to aid students and residents in the fight against the current pandemic.<br> <strong>Conclusion:</strong> It is critical that faculties, educators and policymakers have a better thorough understanding of the needs and concerns of medical trainees during this pandemic times. Leaders should facilitate close communication with students and residents, value their intrinsic creativeness and regularly evaluate their needs in regards to deployment, knowledge aspects, safety measures, legal concerns and overall well-being.</p>
