Commonalities and differences in healthcare workers’ perceptions of mental burden in Brazil, Colombia, and Germany during the Covid-19 pandemic
Objective: To assess healthcare workers' (HCWs) perceptions of commonalities and differences in stressors affecting their mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, Colombia, and Germany. Method: We conducted a qualitative cross-country study between April and September 2022. HCWs from primary and secondary care centers and hospitals participated. The focus groups were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using content analysis…
Inequality on the frontline
Healthcare workers (HCWs) were at increased risk for mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic, with prior data suggesting women may be particularly vulnerable. Our global mental health study aimed to examine factors associated with gender differences in psychological distress and depressive symptoms among HCWs during COVID-19. Across 22 countries in South America, Europe, Asia and Africa, 32,410 HCWs participated in the COVID-19 HEalth…
Exhausting care
We explore care as a site of multiplicity and tension. Working with the qualitative interview accounts of nineteen health care workers in Colombia, we trace a narrative of 'exhausting care' in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. Accounts relate exhausting care to working without break in response to extraordinary demand, heightened contagion concern, the pressures of caring in the face of anticipated death, and efforts to carry on caring in …
The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Mental Health of Healthcare Workers in Italy
Our study emphasizes the need to address discrimination and violence against healthcare professionals and improve healthcare work environments to strengthen the national health system's capacity to manage future emergencies
Household composition after resettlement and emotional health in adolescent migrants
The needs and coping abilities of UAM migrants vary with the composition of their immediate receiving environment, their post-resettlement household. Understanding differences associated with these household characteristics can guide interventions to maximize emotional health and resilience
Patterns of individual coping, engagement with social supports and use of formal services among a five-country sample of resilient youth
Differing amounts of formal resources in low-, middle- and high-income countries influence patterns of service use. Implications for better coordination between formal mental health services and social supports are discussed
Aggressors and resilient youths in Medellin, Colombia
The objective of this study was to estimate the ratio of resilient youth and compare this to youth with aggressive behavior, and to youth who also exhibit sexually risky behavior and drug use. A cross-section study of a representative sample of people between aged between 12 and 60 who are residents of Medellin, Colombia, and its metropolitan area (N = 4,654) was employed using probabilistic multi-stage sampling. Youth between 14 and 26 years old…
Violence witnessing, perpetrating and victimization in medellin, Colombia
Due to very low proportion of victimization report to authorities, periodic surveys should be included in systems for epidemiological monitoring of violence, not only of victimization but also for perpetrators. Victimization information allows quantifying the magnitude of different forms of violence, while data on factors associated with aggression and perpetrators are necessary to estimate risk and protective factors that are essential to sound …
