Differential Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Mental Health Symptoms and Working Conditions for Senior and Junior Doctors in Australian Hospitals

Amy Pascoe et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of workplace disruption and mental health symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic on Australian junior and senior hospital medical staff. The findings showed that junior doctors were more frequently exposed to COVID-19 and experienced higher levels of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and burnout compared to senior doctors. Common predictors for mental health symptoms included prior mental health diagnoses and worsening personal relationships. The study highlighted the urgent need for interventions to protect hospital medical staff, especially junior doctors, and prevent attrition of this important workforce.

Greenspace and park use associated with less emotional distress among college students in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic

Lincoln R. Larson et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the psychological health of many individuals, including college students, leading to widespread emotional distress. Some students decreased their outdoor activities and park visits due to reasons like lockdowns and concerns about viral transmission, while others maintained pre-pandemic park use levels with the goal of enhancing their mental and physical health through outdoor experiences. Emotional distress was associated with reducing park use during the pandemic and living in counties with a smaller area of parks per capita, highlighting the importance of outdoor recreation for promoting mental well-being in times of crisis.

Summary: This study found that COVID-19 has varying psychological impacts on university students, with factors such as being female, having fair/poor health, being 18-24 years old, and knowing someone infected with COVID-19 increasing the likelihood of experiencing higher levels of psychological impact. On the other hand, students who were non-Hispanic White, had higher social class, spent more time outdoors, or less time on electronic screens were less likely to experience significant psychological impact.
