Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on anxiety and depressive symptoms in pregnant women: a preliminary study

Ferit Durankus et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the depression and anxiety levels of pregnant women. The results showed significant impacts of the pandemic on psychology, social isolation, and depression and anxiety scores, with more severe effects in the case group. Regression analysis also revealed significant associations between depression and anxiety levels and the psychological and social isolation effects of the disease. Therefore, providing psychosocial support to pregnant women during the crisis is crucial to prevent adverse events for both mothers and fetuses.

Emotional Well-Being Under Conditions of Lockdown: An Experience Sampling Study in Austria During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Stefan Stieger et al.

Summary: The study found that outdoor activities during the COVID-19 pandemic can improve emotional well-being, while loneliness and excessive screen time are associated with lower well-being.
