• COVID-19 and the production of statistics

Due to the coronavirus illness (COVID-19) disruption, it would seem that this is now starting to affect the quality and coverage of some of our statistics, such as an increase in non-submissions for some datasets. We are also starting to see some different patterns in the submitted data. For example, fewer patients are being referred to hospital and more appointments being carried out via phone/telemedicine/email. Therefore, data should be interpreted with care over the COVID-19 period.

Inspiration

This dataset is to solve the challenge- UNCOVER COVID-19 Challenge, United Network for COVID Data Exploration and Research. This data is scraped in hopes of solving the task - Mental health impact and support services.

Task Details Can we predict changes in demand for mental health services and how can we ensure access? (by region, social/economic/demographic factors, etc). Are there signs of shifts in mental health challenges across demographies, whether improvements or declines, as a result of COVID-19 and the various measures implement to contain the pandemic?

The share of respondents who reported their mental health in the lowest range had doubled, from 6.8 percent to 14.4 percent, since the COVID-19 outbreak. This statistic shows the percentage of workers who reported either perfectly healthy or nonfunctional mental health status in the year leading to COVID-19 and in the past week, globally as of April 2020. The survey was conducted among employees in select countries: Australia, France, Germany, New Zealand, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Descriptive statistics for observed indicators of COVID-19 knowledge, sources of information, behaviors, academic and life difficulties, and mental health burden (N = 162).

U.S. healthcare workers reported significantly higher levels of COVID-19 related anxiety and stress, depressive symptoms, current anxiety, health concern and tiredness compared to non-healthcare workers (control group). The impact of each symptom was rated using a variety of questions and scales. This statistic compares the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of healthcare professionals to that of non-healthcare professionals according to a survey conducted from March to May 2020.

Impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on young people and schools, including analysis of face coverings and remote learning, and breakdowns by age and sex where possible. Indicators from the Schools Infection Survey.

The most common approach to overcome the disruption to mental health, neurological and substance abuse related (MNS) services due to the COVID-19 pandemic, reported by 70 percent of countries surveyed, was a deployment of tele-medicine or tele-therapy. This statistic shows the percentage of countries using select approaches to overcome COVID-19 related disruptions in MNS services, as of August 2020.

This data table covers key mental health, economic and education indicators at the provincial and territorial levels of geography to better understand the different ways that remote learning approaches and temporarily closed schools have affected children and youth during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite extensive debate on the effects of COVID-19 mitigation measures in school settings, little evidence exists on trends in school children’s mental health over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of this paper was to identify factors affecting parent reports of school children’s mental health during COVID-19 Omicron variant outbreak in a cohort of high-risk, socially vulnerable children attending public elementary schools. We analyzed four waves of cross-sectional, online-administered surveys completed by parents of children attending public elementary schools in San Diego between November 2021 and March of 2022. Children (n = 684) ranged in age from 2–17 years. We used multilevel linear mixed effects models to assess determinants of parent-reported child mental health status. The outcome was child mental health, as reported by the parent. Parents consistently rated their children’s mental health as very good, though parents who experienced recent COVID-related challenges and who had older children reported lower levels of mental health in their children. Children’s mental health was generally considered to be very good, as judged by their parents during a period of constant in-school masking and the Omicron variant outbreak. Structural support mechanisms aimed at mitigating COVID-related challenges for adults may offer benefit to children’s mental health.

Objectives: Adverse mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are well documented; however, there remains limited data detailing trends in mental health at different points in time and across population sub-groups most impacted. This paper draws on data from three rounds of a nationally representative cross-sectional monitoring survey to characterize the mental health impacts of COVID-19 on adults living in Canada (N = 9,061).Methods: Descriptive statistics were used to examine the mental health impacts of the pandemic using a range of self-reported measures. Multivariate logistic regression models were then used to quantify the independent risks of experiencing adverse mental health outcomes for priority population sub-groups, adjusting for age, gender, and survey round.Results: Data illustrate significant disparities in the mental health consequences of the pandemic, with inequitable impacts for sub-groups who experience structural vulnerability related to pre-existing mental health conditions, disability, LGBTQ2+ identity, and Indigenous identity.Conclusion: There is immediate need for population-based approaches to support mental health in Canada and globally. Approaches should attend to the root causes of mental health inequities through promotion and prevention, in addition to treatment.

Mental Health has been declining over the last three years, coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic. A person’s support system can either improve or worsen their mental health. Nursing students likely have been severely impacted by COVID-19 and their support system may impact their mental health. This study used the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the Social Support Scale to measure the effects of a positive and negative social support system on undergraduate nursing students at a university in the Western United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. Descriptive statistics and correlations were used to examine the relationships between stress, anxiety, and depression and support systems among undergraduate nursing students. Data were collected from students prior to the start of their program through two pre-course surveys, including the DASS-21 symptom measure and a 11-item Social Support Scale. Both surveys had established reliability and validity. Results showed that 17.8% of participants scored with severe or extremely severe anxiety, 6.6% with severe or extremely severe depression and 6.7% with severe or extremely severe stress. The average score for instrumental support was M = 4.22 (SD = 0.72), positive support was M = 4.29 (SD = 0.73) and negative support was M = 3.96 (SD = 0.87). The correlational analyses support a significant relationship between negative support and stress (r = .26). The results indicate that nursing students had a strong positive and instrumental support system in place. The results also show a low number of students reporting negative social support. However, the significant correlation between negative social support and stress indicates the harmful effects of a negative support system on a student’s mental health when it did occur. These results help us to further understand how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the mental health of undergraduate nursing students.

The data collection series Crowdsourcing: Impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians is designed to assess the quality and viability of a more timely collection model using willing participants and web-only collection. The Crowdsourcing: Impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians - Your Mental Health is the second iteration in the continuing series of crowdsourcing cycles. The overall goal of the crowdsourcing initiative is to invite all members of the Canadian population to participate in a data collection exercise on a voluntary basis. The main topic of this second crowdsourcing was to determine how Canadians are reacting to the COVID-19 crisis and the impact it has had on their mental health. In the context of this product, the term crowdsourcing refers to the process of collecting information via an online questionnaire.
