Suicide prevention in the context of COVID-19: An Indian perspective

Summary: This study systematically reviewed literature on suicidal outcomes during major international respiratory outbreaks, including COVID-19, and found a weak evidence supporting the association between pandemics, suicide, and suicide-related outcomes. Future research with better methodological characteristics, longitudinal studies, and focusing on suicide as the primary outcome would help for a deeper understanding and formulation of the scope of this problem.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health and well-being of UK healthcare workers

James Gilleen et al.

Summary: A study in the UK found that nearly a third of healthcare workers reported moderate to severe levels of anxiety and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. Controllable factors such as inadequate personal protective equipment, workplace preparation, training, and communication, as well as high workload, were associated with the most severe psychiatric symptoms. Other factors such as gender, frontline position, previous psychiatric diagnoses, traumatic events, and role as an allied healthcare worker or manager were also significantly linked to severe psychiatric symptoms.
