This web-based multi-center study aimed to evaluate work-family conflict (WFC) among HCW fathers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: = 188 fathers who participated at two or more time points was analyzed separately. The impact of workload, exhaustion, fear, m…
The impact of informal caregiving on the mental health of health care workers during the Covid-19 pandemic—cross-sectional and longitudinal results from the Voice study
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic increased psychological distress among health care workers (HCWs). Those with informal caregiving responsibilities (ICs) may be especially vulnerable, but data remain limited. Methods: In a multicenter online survey conducted across four time points (T1-T4: 2020-2022) within the German healthcare system, HCWs with ICs were compared to those without (comparison group, CG). Psychological distress was assessed using…

The mental health of first- and second-generation migrant vs. native healthcare workers during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the challenging working conditions of healthcare workers (HCWs) in many regions. A considerable proportion of HCWs in Germany are migrants facing additional migration-related stressors. The aim of this cross-sectional web-based survey was to examine depressive and generalized anxiety symptoms among migrant and native HCWs in Germany during the pandemic. We compared 780 migrant (first- and second-generation) HCWs …

The alliance-outcome association in borderline and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder
Personality disorders are considered a possible factor affecting the relationship between therapeutic alliance and therapy outcome. The present study investigated the alliance-outcome effect in patient groups with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). Data derived from a sample of n = 66 patients, treated in a day care hospital setting with a dialectical-behavioral and schema therapeutic treat…
Prospective Associations of Lifetime Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Birth-Related Traumatization With Maternal and Infant Outcomes
Women with lifetime PTSD and/or birth related traumatization should be closely monitored and supported. They may benefit from early targeted interventions to prevent traumatic birth experience, an escalation of psychopathology during the peripartum period, and adverse infant outcomes, which in turn may prevent transgenerational transmission of trauma in the long term
Childhood Trauma and Psychosocial Stress Affect Treatment Outcome in Patients With Psoriasis Starting a New Treatment Episode
One might tentatively conclude, that chronic psychosocial stressors like childhood maltreatment may predispose the manifestation of psoriasis. The latter may be amplified by acute psychological stressors. In addition, the present evidence suggests that systemic therapies work well in PSO, with childhood trauma and acute psychosocial stress. Both should therefore be routinely assessed and addressed in PSO
Early Abusive Relationships–Influence of Different Maltreatment Types on Postpartum Psychopathology and Mother-Infant Bonding in a Clinical Sample
Postpartum psychopathology is a well-documented risk factor for impaired mother-infant bonding and thus child development. Increasingly, the focus of research in this area lies on maternal adverse childhood experiences that mothers bring into the relationship with their own baby, especially regarding the possible intergenerational transmission of traumatic experiences. Several studies showed that there is no direct link between child maltreatment…
Sick Leave and Intention to Quit the Job among Nursing Staff in German Hospitals during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Alarmingly, many nurses intend to quit working in healthcare. Perceived reward seems to buffer both sick leave and turnover intention. Enhancing protection from COVID-19 and reducing workload might also prevent sick leave. Depression prevention, improved change management and support of part-time workers could contribute to reducing turnover intention among nurses
Individual Stress Burden and Mental Health in Health Care Workers during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic generated a significant burden on the German health care system, affecting the mental health of health care workers (HCW) in particular. Resilience may serve as an essential protective factor for individuals' well-being. Objective: Our objective was to identify demographic and work-related correlates of individual resilience and to investigate the association between pandemic-related stress, resilience and ment…
Correlates and Predictors of PTSD Symptoms Among Healthcare Workers During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to ongoing challenges for healthcare systems across the world. Previous research has provided evidence for an increased prevalence of depression and anxiety as well as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In Germany, however, only scarce data on correlates and predictors for PTSD symptomatology in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic among healthcare workers (HCW) are available. Methods: This research i…
Psychosocial Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Healthcare Workers and Initial Areas of Action for Intervention and Prevention—The egePan/Voice Study
Retrospectively, the COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in stress among healthcare workers. Problem areas have different focuses with regard to different living situations, environmental conditions and professions. In order to lay the best basis for healthy and efficient work, it seems necessary to take measures especially tailored to the needs of different groups of healthcare workers
Social Support and Optimism as Protective Factors for Mental Health among 7765 Healthcare Workers in Germany during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Psychosocial resources such as social support and optimism appear to contribute to successful coping with the COVID-19 pandemic and should be considered in future studies
Measuring Covid-19 Related Health Literacy in Healthcare Professionals—Psychometric Evaluation of the HL-COV-HP Instrument
The HL-COV-HP is a reliable, valid, and feasible instrument to assess the COVID-19 related health literacy in healthcare professionals. It can be used in hospitals or other healt hcare settings to assess the motivation and ability of healthcare professionals to find, understand, evaluate, and use COVID-19 information
Null Effect of Olfactory Training With Patients Suffering From Depressive Disorders—An Exploratory Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Precarious working conditions and psychosocial work stress act as a risk factor for symptoms of postpartum depression during maternity leave
Our results indicate that psychosocial work stress and precarious working conditions have important implications for maternal peripartum mental health. They might act as prospective risk factors for PPD during the period of maternal leave. Hence, future research should focus on preventative measures targeting work life
