Pregnancy during the pandemic: the impact of COVID-19-related stress on risk for prenatal depression

Lucy S. King et al.

Summary: This study examines the stress and adversity related to the COVID-19 pandemic among pregnant women and its association with prenatal depressive symptoms. The findings suggest that pregnant women during the pandemic are more vulnerable to depression, and both individual and community-level factors contribute to COVID-19-related stress and adversity. Subjective stress responses are strongly associated with depressive symptoms during the pandemic.

Healthcare workers' (HCWs) attitudes and related factors towards COVID-19 vaccination: a rapid systematic review

Mei Li et al.

Summary: This systematic review examines the attitudes of healthcare workers towards COVID-19 vaccination and identifies associated factors. Vaccine acceptance varies widely, and vaccine hesitancy is common among healthcare workers. Men, older age, and physicians are more likely to accept the vaccine, while women and nurses tend to hesitate. Previous influenza vaccination and perceived risk are facilitators, while concerns over safety, efficacy, and government distrust are barriers. Tailored communication strategies are needed to increase the uptake rate of COVID-19 vaccines among healthcare workers.

Economic evaluation of COVID-19 vaccination: A systematic review

Auliasari Meita Utami et al.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the economic evaluation of COVID-19 vaccination worldwide. The findings showed that COVID-19 vaccination is a cost-effective or cost-saving intervention for controlling virus transmission and having an effect under certain conditions. Considering prioritization is crucial due to the favorable cost-effectiveness of vaccines and disparities in affordability across countries. This review provides comprehensive insights into the economic evaluation of COVID-19 vaccination that will be useful for policymakers, particularly in highlighting preventive measures and preparedness plans for potential future pandemics.

Toward an Understanding of the Russian-Ukrainian War Impact on University Students and Personnel

Anton Kurapov et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of the war on the mental and emotional well-being of Ukrainian civilians, specifically university students and personnel. The findings reveal a deterioration in psycho-emotional status, including depression, exhaustion, loneliness, nervousness, and anger. Substance use and loneliness associated with fear, burnout, and lower resilience have also increased. However, a small percentage of respondents reported no impact from the war. Further research is needed to validate these findings and explore the long-term effects of the war on the health and well-being of Ukrainian citizens.

Summary: The study aimed to estimate the willingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, identify predictive socio-demographic factors, and determine potential causes in order to provide guidance on information provision. The findings showed that willingness to take the vaccine is closely linked to recognition of its collective importance, and factors such as conspiracy beliefs lower vaccine uptake. Socio-demographic factors such as age, gender, income, and ethnicity also played a role in vaccine hesitancy.

Lack of trust in the government is significantly associated with vaccine hesitancy, while other factors such as age and educational attainment did not show significant correlations. Accurate information dissemination and boosting trust in the government may be key to addressing vaccine hesitancy among pregnant women in Japan.

Summary: This study describes the differences in COVID-19 vaccine uptake between pregnant Jewish and Arab women and explores the factors contributing to psychological distress among Arab women. The findings indicate that fewer Jewish women had been infected with the virus compared to Arab women, and more Jewish women had received the vaccine. Poorer health, lower economic status, motherhood, non-vaccination, anxiety over economic damage, family member infection, delivery, and raising the baby were associated with higher psychological distress.

The results showed that only 59.8% of the participants were offered a vaccine by healthcare professionals. Women with higher levels of education, positive feedback about vaccination, or knowledge about COVID-19 complications in pregnancy were more likely to accept the vaccination. Hesitancy was associated with multiparity, worse educational status, and lack of previous COVID-19 infection.
