Vicki A. Freedman et al.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the changes in contact with nonresident family and friends during the COVID-19 pandemic for older adults aged 70 and older in residential care and community settings in the U.S. The study found that in-person contact decreased significantly during the pandemic, especially in residential care settings. Electronic and telephone contact remained stable, while video contact increased mainly for community residents without limitations. Additionally, compared to community residents without limitations, those in assisted living or nursing homes were more likely to decrease in-person and video contact.

Emotional, Social, and Existential Loneliness Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Prevalence and Risk Factors Among Dutch Older Adults

Theo G. van Tilburg

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased loneliness among older adults in the Netherlands. This study examines whether this increased loneliness persisted in the fall of 2020 and explores differences in emotional, social, and existential loneliness. The presence of well-known risk factors for loneliness and their impact during the pandemic are also examined. The results show that loneliness, particularly emotional loneliness, increased during this period. Having a partner and good physical and psychological well-being before the pandemic provided some protection against loneliness. Therefore, targeted policies should focus not only on traditionally vulnerable groups but also on older adults with social connections.

Income and social support related with mental health during COVID-19 outbreak in China

Chenwei Huang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the psychological response of the Chinese public during the regular prevention and control of COVID-19 and found that the prevalence rates for anxiety, PTSD symptoms, and stress problems were 19.8%, 23.8%, and 24.7% respectively. Social support was positively correlated with stress, anxiety, and PTSD, while changes in income and social support were associated with stress, anxiety, and PTSD in non-student samples. Therefore, strengthening social support during regular prevention and control can help reduce psychological stress and symptoms.

Summary: Despite not fitting into existing PTSD models, COVID-19 can be understood as a traumatic stressor event capable of eliciting PTSD-like responses and exacerbating other related mental health problems.
