The effect of health literacy on vaccine hesitancy among Italian anticoagulated population during COVID-19 pandemic: the moderating role of health engagement
<p>Magon A, Arrigoni C, Graffigna G, Barello S, Moia M, Palareti G, Caruso R. The effect of health literacy on vaccine hesitancy among Italian anticoagulated population during COVID-19 pandemic: the moderating role of health engagement. Hum Vaccin Immunother. 2021 Oct 13:1-6. doi: 10.1080/21645515.2021.1984123. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 34643478.</p> <p>Abstract</p> <p>Assessing vaccine hesitancy and its determinants is pivotal to optimize vaccine acceptance in anticoagulated patients, given that this population has been described to have a higher risk of severe COVID-19-related complications. This study assessed the moderator role of patients' health engagement on the relationship between health literacy and vaccine hesitancy. A web-based survey was performed in Italy during the first wave (June-August 2020) and the second wave (October 2020-March 2021) of the COVID-19 pandemic, enrolling 288 patients. The rates of vaccine hesitancy reported during the first pandemic wave were 38.4% and 30.8% during the second wave (when a vaccine was available) (<em>p</em> = .164). A moderation analysis was performed to assess the role of health engagement in influencing the relationship from health literacy to vaccine hesitancy. Patients' health engagement enhanced the effects of health literacy on decreasing vaccine hesitancy (<em>p</em> < .001), suggesting that co-construction strategies for communicative action are pivotal.</p>
Risk-aversion for negative health outcomes may promote individual compliance to containment measures in Covid-19 pandemic
<p>Submitted materials consist of study dataset which includes socio-demographic data of 130 adult Italian residents who completed the survey (89 females, mean age=38.5 y.o., sd=±9.3 y.o.), scores at psychosocial questionnaires used in the study (i.e., loneliness, empathic skills, coping strategies, alexithymia) which were reduced to three PCA components (Proactivity, Isolation, Inactivity), and performances at the three conditions of the Covid-19 Risk Task (Monetary, Health status, and Employment status).  </p> <p>Study results showed that the individual degree of risk-aversion toward negative health outcomes was directly related to Proactivity component, encasing empathic, social support and positive coping strategies, which may prompt individuals to put in place self-protection strategies toward possible negative health consequences</p>

Chest x-ray in the COVID-19 pandemic: Radiologists real-world reader performance.
<p>Dataset from the article Cozzi A, Schiaffino S, Arpaia F, Della Pepa G, Tritella S, Bertolotti P, Menicagli L, Monaco CG, Carbonaro LA, Spairani R, Babaei Paskeh B, Sardanelli F. Chest x-ray in the COVID-19 pandemic: Radiologists' real-world reader performance. Eur J Radiol. 2020 Nov;132:109272. doi: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2020.109272. Epub 2020 Sep 10. PMID: 32971326; PMCID: PMC7481070.</p> <p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p><strong>Purpose: </strong>To report real-world diagnostic performance of chest x-ray (CXR) readings during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>In this retrospective observational study we enrolled all patients presenting to the emergency department of a Milan-based university hospital from February 24th to April 8th 2020 who underwent nasopharyngeal swab for reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and anteroposterior bedside CXR within 12 h. A composite reference standard combining RT-PCR results with phone-call-based anamnesis was obtained. Radiologists were grouped by CXR reading experience (Group-1, >10 years; Group-2, <10 years), diagnostic performance indexes were calculated for each radiologist and for the two groups.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Group-1 read 435 CXRs (77.0 % disease prevalence): sensitivity was 89.0 %, specificity 66.0 %, accuracy 83.7 %. Group-2 read 100 CXRs (73.0 % prevalence): sensitivity was 89.0 %, specificity 40.7 %, accuracy 76.0 %. During the first half of the outbreak (195 CXRs, 66.7 % disease prevalence), overall sensitivity was 80.8 %, specificity 67.7 %, accuracy 76.4 %, Group-1 sensitivity being similar to Group-2 (80.6 % versus 81.5 %, respectively) but higher specificity (74.0 % versus 46.7 %) and accuracy (78.4 % versus 69.0 %). During the second half (340 CXRs, 81.8 % prevalence), overall sensitivity increased to 92.8 %, specificity dropped to 53.2 %, accuracy increased to 85.6 %, this pattern mirrored in both groups, with decreased specificity (Group-1, 58.0 %; Group-2, 33.3 %) but increased sensitivity (92.7 % and 93.5 %) and accuracy (86.5 % and 81.0 %, respectively).</p> <p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Real-world CXR diagnostic performance during the COVID-19 pandemic showed overall high sensitivity with higher specificity for more experienced radiologists. The increase in accuracy over time strengthens CXR role as a first line examination in suspected COVID-19 patients.</p>
DATASET An evidence-based study on teaching computer aided design in higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic
<p>Course survey using google form. In Swedish, contact the authors for translation.</p> <p>The pandemic has had a major effect on engineering education, transforming both current and future teaching practices. The physical meetings between students and teachers have during the pandemic been replaced by online contact and recordings of lectures and demonstrations. In this paper, the focus is on computer-aided design (CAD) teaching for first-year engineering students. CAD is a topic usually characterized by close contact by students and teachers, with hands-on instruction at the computer using the CAD software. In the paper, the experiences and learnings from the rapid shift to online teaching in CAD are summarized and discussed, and learnings and takeaways for a redesign of future CAD teaching are discussed. Both students’ learning and mental wellbeing are evaluated. The findings are based on a student survey, existing literature, and the authors' own teaching practices during the pandemic. </p>

Psychiatric symptoms and emotional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Italian adolescents during the third lockdown: a cross-sectional cohort study
<p>This database includes the raw data linked with the paper “Psychiatric Symptoms and Emotional Repercussions of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Italian Adolescents: Third Lockdown Survey” .</p> <p>In this paper, we proposed a questionnaire to investigate the presence of symptoms related to anxiety, panic, depression, eating disorders, sleep disorders, tendency to social withdrawal, stress disorders, psychotic symptoms, anti-conservative thoughts, and self-harming acts aggravated by COVID-19 restrictions. Our aim was to investigate: (1) The prevalence rate and sociodemographic correlates of COVID-19 related stress disorders, depressive, anxious, panic, and psychotic symptoms, according to DSM-5 criteria, during the third lockdown in Italy. (2) Perception of personal stress level, dysfunctional eating behaviours, sleep problems, substances abuse, perceived social withdrawal, and suicidal ideation and self-harm during the third lockdown in Italy. (3) Differences between male adolescents and female adolescents.</p> <p>We administered an online anonymous questionnaire, built ad hoc using validated scales, to a cohort of 500 Italian adolescents (12-18 y.o.).</p> <p>Our study highlighted that the respondents felt more stress than during the first lockdown. Participants showed suprathreshold symptoms for post-traumatic stress disorder and isolated symptoms of acute or post-traumatic stress due to the pandemic. In addition, we found psychotic symptoms, panic, anxiety, depression, eating-related symptoms, sleep difficulties, tendency to social withdrawal after the pandemic, suicidal ideation, and self-harming behaviour. Furthermore, girls showed a more severe level of distress than boys did. The results show a high prevalence of symptoms developed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and which are undermining the psychological health of Italian adolescents.</p>
Influencing A Nation: How a Leader's Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Influences Citizen Compliance via Trust and Emotions during a Global Pandemic
<p>During crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, it was necessary for political leaders to influence citizens to comply with public health measures and restrictions. These health measures (e.g., physical distancing, staying at home) had substantial negative effects on individuals lives and thus were sometimes met with defensive, non-cooperative responses. To influence citizens’ compliance with public health guidance and nationally imposed restrictions, political leaders needed to effectively motivate them through their public communications. We argue that whilst negative emotions may have discouraged citizens from deviating from public health restrictions, other factors such as citizens’ trust in political leaders played a role as well. We investigated whether the perception of the interpersonal emotion regulation (IER) strategies used by government leaders in ministerial briefings impacted citizens’ compliance intentions via either negative affect or perceived trustworthiness. Across three studies based in Western Europe (Studies 1 & 2 survey, Study 3 experimental), we consistently found that a leader’s affect-improving IER strategies increased compliance intentions via perceived trustworthiness but not via negative affect. Affect-worsening IER strategies demonstrated either no effect or an indirect worsening effect on the compliance intentions of citizens. Our findings highlight the importance of IER strategies in ministerial briefings and perceived trustworthiness of political leaders in motivating citizens to comply with public health restrictions during a pandemic. </p>

Maternal pandemic-related stress during pregnancy associates with infants' socio-cognitive development at 12 months: a longitudinal multi-centric study
<p><strong>Introduction.</strong> This database includes the raw data linked with the paper “Maternal pandemic-related stress during pregnancy associates with infants’ socio-cognitive development at 12 months: A longitudinal multi-centric study”. This study is part of the longitudinal and multi-centric “Measuring the outcomes of maternal COVID-19-related prenatal exposure (MOM-COPE)” research project. In this study, we report on the effects of maternal prenatal stress related to the COVID-19 pandemic on 12-month-old infants’ behavioral markers of socio-cognitive development.</p> <p><strong>Methods.</strong> Ninety infants and their mothers provided complete longitudinal data from birth to 12 months. At birth, mothers reported on pandemic-related stress (PRS) during pregnancy through an ad-hoc scale (attached). At infants’ 12-month-age, a remote mother-infant interaction was videotaped: after an initial 2-min face-to-face episode, the experimenter remotely played a series of four auditory stimuli. Infants’ orienting, communication, and pointing toward the auditory source was micro-analytically coded.</p> <p><strong>Analytical plan.</strong> Two principal component analyses (PCA) were used to reduce the infant behavioral data. The first PCA yielded 3 principal components (Orienting; Communication; Pointing), while the second PCA showed the presence of an over-arching socio-cognitive score. Separate independent-sample t-tests were used to assess the presence of statistically significant differences in maternal prenatal PRS between infants who showed or not each of the socio-cognitive behavior. Separate hierarchical regression models were used to further test the effect of PRS on infants’ socio-cognitive development continuous measures.</p> <p><strong>Results in brief.</strong> Mothers who reported greater prenatal pandemic-related stress had infants with higher probability of showing no communication or pointing after the auditory stimuli. A significant and negative linear association was found between maternal prenatal PRS and infants’ SCS at 12 months, while adjusting for potential confounders.</p>
Is brain-derived neurotropic factor methylation involved in the association between prenatal stress and maternal postnatal anxiety during the covid-19 pandemic?
<p>This database includes the raw data linked with the paper “IIs brain-derived neurotropic factor methylation involved in the association between prenatal stress and maternal postnatal anxiety during the covid-19 pandemic?”. This publication is part of the longitudinal and multi-centric “Measuring the outcomes of maternal COVID-19-related prenatal exposure (MOM-COPE)” research project. In this paper, we report data on the association among pandemic-related stress during pregnancy, maternal BDNF methylation, and postnatal anxiety symptoms.<br> <strong>Procedures. </strong>At birth, the mothers filled in the ad-hoc questionnaire attached about the pandemic related stress (file name: 22-06-14_momcope_bdnf_adhoc.pdf) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, 1983). The maternal BDNF methylation was estimated in 11 CpG sites in DNA from mothers’ buccal cells by PCR amplification of bisulfite-treated DNA followed by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) on a NEXTSeq-500 (Illumina, San Diego, California, USA).<br> <strong>Analytical plan. </strong>Separate Pearson’s bivariate correlations were used to assess the presence of significant associations among pandemic-related stress during pregnancy, maternal anxious symptoms after delivery, and CpG-specific BDNF % methylation. CpG-specific BDNF % methylation values for which a significant association emerged with both pandemic-related stress and anxious symptoms were subsequently tested in a mediation model to assess their role as significant mediators of the relationship between pandemic-related stress and maternal anxious symptoms.<br> <strong>Findings in brief. </strong>Results showed that pandemic-related stress was associated with an increased risk of postnatal anxiety (r = .20, p <.05). CpG-specific BDNF methylation was significantly associated with both prenatal pandemic-related stress (r = .21, p < .05) and postnatal maternal anxious symptoms (r = .25, p = .01). Moreover, a complete mediation by the BDNF CpG6 methylation emerged between pandemic-related stress during pregnancy and postnatal maternal anxiety (ACME = .66, p < .05).</p>
Maternal and infant NR3C1 and SLC6A4 epigenetic signatures of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown: When timing matters
<p>This database includes the raw data linked with the paper “Maternal and infant NR3C1 and SLC6A4 epigenetic signatures of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown: When timing matters” published on Translational Psychiatry, doi: 10.1038/s41398-022-02160-0. This publication is part of the longitudinal and multi-centric “Measuring the outcomes of maternal COVID-19-related prenatal exposure (MOM-COPE)” research project. In this paper, we report data on NR3C1 and SLC6A4 methylation status in Italian mothers and infants who were exposed to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown during different trimesters of pregnancy.</p> <p><strong>Procedures: </strong>283 mother-infant dyads were enrolled at delivery. Within 24 hours from delivery, buccal cells were collected to assess NR3C1 (44 CpG sites) and SLC6A4 (13 CpG sites) methylation status. Mothers self-reported on depressive symptoms and anxiety by replying to an online adapted version of the well-validated Beck Depression Inventory and State-Trait Anxiety questionnaires, respectively.</p> <p><strong>Analytical plan: </strong>Principal component (PC) analyses were used to reduce methylation data dimension to one PC per maternal and infant gene methylation. Mother-infant dyads were split into three groups based on the pregnancy trimester during which they were exposed to the COVID-19 lockdown. To assess the presence of significant differences in maternal and infant methylation of SLC6A4 and NR3C1 genes by pregnancy trimester of exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, four separate one-way ANOVAs were carried out with Trimester (levels: third, second, first) as the between-subject variable and each of the methylation PCs.</p> <p><strong>Findings in brief: </strong>Mothers and infants who were exposed to the lockdown during the first trimester of pregnancy had lower NR3C1 and SLC6A4 methylation when compared to counterparts exposed during the second or third trimesters. The effect remained significant after controlling for confounders.</p>
