Measure: Correlation between the Covid-19 pandemic, postpartum depression and postpartum pain Time: 2 minutes after admission to the Postanaesthesia care unitBackground: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a treatment for depression. It stimulates the brain. Researchers want to see if using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans helps locate the best area for rTMS in each person. They also want to find other ways to make it more effective. Objective: To study the effects of combining MRI- guided transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and talk therapy on the brain in people with depression. Eligibility: Adults ages 18-65 with a major depressive disorder and current depression. If taking an antidepressant, should have been doing so for at least 4 weeks. Design: Participants will be screened with medical and psychiatric history, psychiatric evaluation, physical exam, and blood and urine tests. Phase 1 is 1-4 visits in 1 week. Participants will have: - Brain MRI. Participants will lie on a table in a scanner. - Questions about their medical history and psychology symptoms - Tests of mood and thinking - Tests of brain activity. Participants may do tasks during these tests: - A cone with magnetic detectors is put on the head. - A cap with electrodes is put on the scalp. - TMS. A brief electrical current passes through a wire coil on the scalp. - A metal disk will be placed on the arm. A nerve will be stimulated with a small electrical shock. Phase 2 is about 6 to 7 weeks. - There will be 30 daily sessions of combined therapy and repetitive TMS (rTMS) for 6 weeks. - Participants will receive rTMS and another therapy by computer. - For rTMS, repeated pulses will pass through the coil. - This is followed by up to 3 additional visits, when: - Participants will repeat Phase 1 tests - Participants will rate their depression symptoms. Phase 3 is 3 visits over 3 months. Participants will rate their depression symptoms and repeat some of the previous questionnaires and tests of mood and thinking.
Description: change in magnitude of BOLD signal with fMRI bold signal from DLPFC
Measure: Change in magnitude of Bold signal Time: 6 weeks after initiating interventionDescription: Recordings of brain activity
Measure: Electrophysiological changes using MEG and EEG measures Time: 6 weeks after initiating interventionDescription: Clinical symptom scales from which we derive scores
Measure: Clinical Rating Scales: BSL, C-SSRS, CTQ, HAM-A, NIH-BFI, PANAS, RBANS, RRS, SHAPS, and TLEQ Time: Variable: some 6 weeks after initiating intervention; others weeklyBackground: Almost 20% of Americans have depression. It is a leading cause of disability because it is chronic and it starts early. The highest incidence is among adolescents and young adults. But researchers don t know much about why some people become depressed whilst others don t. One possibility is that the way people process rewarding stimuli could be related to their risk for depression. Objective: To characterize and treat depression in youth by focusing on reward processing. Eligibility: People ages 11 17 with major depressive disorder or subthreshold depression Healthy volunteers ages 11 17 Design: Participants will be screened with interviews and questionnaires. They will have memory, thinking, and concentration tests. They may have a urine pregnancy test or have photos or videos taken. At the initial visit, participants will: Perform tasks and be interviewed Have functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. For this, participants will lie in a metal cylinder in a magnetic field. They will do study tasks while looking at a screen in the scanner. Look at pictures of stimuli that signal win (rewards) or loss and get money for making certain choices. Have brain and eye activity monitored Do tasks in a virtual reality environment Wear an activity monitor Choose to have blood taken for research studies Perform tasks while in magneto-encephalography a machine that uses sensitive magnetic sensors to measure the brain s electric activity Participants will get phone prompts at home to ask about their mood. Participants will have several follow-up visits the first year, then 1-2 each year until they are 25. They will repeat some tasks above. Some participants with depression can elect to receive outpatient treatment at NIH and can receive inpatient treatment at NIH, if they wish. None of the treatments are experimental, that is, all treatments are standard and have an evidence base. Patients will have more visits before and after they have treatment. They will do some of the tests above plus drug testing. Participants who are in treatment and their parents will talk with a Senior Attending physician, a nurse, social worker, or psychologist. Those in outpatient treatment will have practice work between visits. Those who are inpatients will have practice work during their inpatient treatment and adjustments to medication can be made.
Description: changes in MFQ scores over time
Measure: Mood and Feelings Questionnaire Time: OngoingThe study will be looking at whether a taste test device can be used as a diagnostic aid for depression. Taste tests will be carried out before and after first use of an antidepressant (prescribed by the patient's GP) and then again a month later a further taste test will be conducted. The results of these tests will be assessed to see if they correlate with the outcome of validated mood questionnaires carried out at the first and second visits.
Description: Change in taste threshold measures (sweet, salt, bitter, sour) between baseline and post-probe(s) at day 1 and 28 days after antidepressant treatment is initiated is assessed with the assistance of a taste test device.
Measure: Change in taste threshold with antidepressant treatment Time: 4-6 weeks (per patient)Description: Change in mood (assessed by score on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)) with antidepressant treatment is assessed.

Measure: Change in mood with antidepressant treatment, measured by the Quick Inventory of Depressive symptomatology (QIDS) Time: 4-6 weeks (per patient)Description: A computerised algorithm will be used to direct the taste test to assess taste sensitivity. The algorithm has been developed to direct the taste test, indicating which taste solutions should be presented to the participant in which order. Every solution presented is recorded, along with answers given. These will be examined after testing to validate the code's ability to follow the algorithm created and properly determine taste thresholds.
Measure: Validation of diagnostic algorithm, comparing the sequence of taste testing determined by software with the algorithm described in the software specification. Time: 12 months (duration of trial)Description: User views on ease of use of the device and testing process will be collected. Users will be asked to give ease of use a score from 1-5, where 1 is very easy and 5 is very difficult. Participants will also be asked whether they would use the taste test again.
Measure: User assessment of ease of use of the device and testing process. Time: 4-6 weeks (per patient)The primary goal of the proposed study is to compare the effectiveness of universal school based screening for adolescent major depressive disorder to the current school process of targeted screening based on concerning behavior.

Measure: Quick Inventory of Depression - Adolescent Version - Clinician Rating (QIDS-A-CR) Time: Baseline to post intervention (month 3); Baseline to 6 months; Baseline to 9 monthsSUMMIT (Scaling Up Maternal Mental health care by Increasing access to Treatment) overarching goal is to examine the scalability and patient-centered provision of brief, evidence-based psychological treatments for perinatal depression and anxiety (N=1368). Specifically, and through a multi-site, randomized, pragmatic trial, the trial examines whether one brief, behavioral activation (BA) delivered via telemedicine is as effective as the same treatment delivered in person; and whether BA delivered by non-mental health nurses, with appropriate training is as effective as when delivered by specialist providers (psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers) in reducing perinatal depressive and anxiety symptoms. The study will be conducted in Toronto, Chicago and North Carolina. The trial will also identify relevant underlying implementation processes and determine whether, and to what extent, these strategies work differentially for certain women over others.
Description: Brief BA psychological treatment is delivered by non-specialist providers. The perinatal depressive symptoms are measured by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. The minimum and maximum values for the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale are 0 and 30 respectively. Higher scale scores are associated with higher perinatal depressive symptoms. The assessment period is extended to account for post-treatment outcomes when there are interruptions to treatment (e.g., giving birth or obstetrical events).

The study also seeks to examine the predictors of generalized anxiety and depressive symptoms, as well as predictors of adherence rates to government-initiated non-pharmacological epidemiological interventions (NPI's). The aim of the project is to: - Inform the policymakers, the general public, scientists, and health practitioners about the psychological associations of the COVID-19-related government-initiated measures. - Provide a foundation for policymakers and health-care professionals to employ interventions that protect the general public against possibly increased psychological stressors, suffering and dysfunction during society's handling of the pandemic. - Help policymakers better understand the associations of demographic variables and psychological symptoms with adherence, providing an initial understanding of adherence rates, which may be used to help society fight against the COVID-19-virus from an epidemiological perspective by promoting factors that increase adherence.
Description: The Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9; Kroenke, Spitzer & Williams, 2001) is used to measure symptoms of depression in accordance with the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder. The questionnaire consists of nine items where each is scored on a four-point Likert scale (0-3), with the range of scores from 0 to 27. Higher scores indicate greater depression severity, and scores above 10 are considered as the cut-off that indicating that the patient is within the depressive area.
Measure: Patient Health Questionnaire 9 Time: All data was collected between March 31st 2020 and April 7th 2020, a period where the NPIs (non-pharmacological interventions) against the COVID-19 pandemic were identical and constant in NorwayDescription: The Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7; Spitzer, Kroenke, Williams & Löwe, 2006) is a questionnaire consisting of seven items measuring symptoms of anxiety and worry. The items are scored on a four-point Likert scale (0-3), with the scores ranging from 0 to 21. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety severity, and scores that are above the cut-off of 10 are considered to be in the clinical range (Spitzer et al., 2006). Specific cut-off for Norwegian samples have been found yielding a cut-off of 8 and above for high sensitivity and specificity (Johnson, Ulvenes, Øktedalen & Hoffart, 2019).

Measure: Measures of adherence Time: All data was collected between March 31st 2020 and April 7th 2020, a period where the NPIs (non-pharmacological interventions) against the COVID-19 pandemic were identical and constant in NorwayMental health disorders are common during pregnancy and the postnatal period, and can have serious adverse effects on the well-being of woman and child. Every tenth woman has depressive symptoms and 5% suffer major depression during pregnancy. The consequences for global mental health due to the novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, are likely to be significant and may have long-term impact on the global burden of disease. Pregnant women may be particularly vulnerable due to partial immune suppression. Besides physical vulnerability, they could be at increased risk of mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), due to social distancing leading to less support from the family and friends, and in some cases, partners not being allowed to be present during prenatal visits, labor and delivery. Furthermore, many pregnant women may feel insecure and worried about the effect of COVID-19 on their unborn child, if they get infected during pregnancy. Today, young urban women are used to utilizing internet services frequently and efficiently. Therefore, providing mental health support to pregnant women via internet may be effective in ameliorating their anxiety/depression and reduce the risk of serious mental health disorders leading to improved maternal and perinatal outcomes.

The results will lead to a better understanding of the psychological effects on quarantine on the population and consequently will be relevant for the development of tailored prevention and intervention programs fit for pandemic crises. Objectives Investigate the levels of loneliness in a general population during the strict social distancing government-initiated non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) for the COVID-19 pandemic. Investigate risk and resilience factors for loneliness and the associations between loneliness and psychopathology symptoms during the NPIs. Aims Inform the general public, policy makers, scientists, and health practitioners about the associations of the NPIs with the mental health problem of loneliness and its potential effect on psychopathology. Provide a foundation for policymakers and health-care professionals to employ interventions that protect the general public against increased psychological suffering and dysfunction during society's handling of pandemics.
Description: The UCLA Loneliness Scale-8 (ULS-8) measures the frequency and intensity of aspects of the lonely experience, using a 1 (never) to 4 (always) Likert-type scale. A composite score was computed by summing the items after reverse coding when appropriate, such that higher scores indicate greater loneliness. In terms of symptoms, validated measures routinely used in clinical practice to screen symptom-levels suggestive of psychiatric diagnosis were utilized.
Measure: UCLA Loneliness Scale-8 (ULS-8) Time: From March31st 2020 to April 7th 2020Description: The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)16 consists of nine items covering the DSM-IV criteria for major depression scored on a four-point Likert-scale (0-3), with scores ranging from 0 to 27. High scores on the PHQ-9 reveal greater depression severity and scores above 10 are considered as the cut-off indicative of a depressive diagnosis with a sensitivity and specificity of 88%.16 The PHQ-9 has revealed good psychometric properties, as demonstrated by Kroenke et al. (2001).
Measure: Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) Time: From March31st 2020 to April 7th 2020Description: The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7)17 consists of seven items covering the DSM-IV criteria for GAD on a four-point Likert scale (0-3) with scores ranging from 0 to 21. Higher scores reveal greater GAD symptoms, and scores above 10 are considered as the cut-off indicative of a GAD-diagnosis with a specificity of 82% and sensitivity of 89%.17 The GAD-7 has revealed construct validity and reliability (Kroenke, Spitzer, Williams, Monahan & Löwe, 2007; Löwe et al., 2008).
Measure: Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) Time: From March31st 2020 to April 7th 2020The COVID-19 epidemic has a major impact on the organization of hospital structures as a whole. Regarding the functioning of the Maternities, it was decided by the three Maternities of AP-HP. Sorbonne University of the Pitié-Salpêtrière, Trousseau and Tenon sites, from March 20, 2020 to no longer authorize visits during the stay of mothers following childbirth. This prohibition has also been extended to spouses. This measure was guided by a concern to protect both the patients, their newborn and the entire staff of the aftermath. The period surrounding a birth is a period of strong emotional impact with an incidence of postpartum depression estimated at 15% in the general population (1). The separation of women from their spouses during this period could expose them to greater psychological vulnerability. In addition, when they return home, the patients will be isolated from their relatives due to the quarantine, which is an additional risk factor for postpartum depression. The teams of the three maternity units of AP-HP. Sorbonne University have organized themselves to be able to respond to situations of mental vulnerability during their stay with the intervention of maternity psychologists and psychiatrists and child psychiatrists as is done in the treatment usual charge. In addition, anticipating situations of greater vulnerability linked to the health crisis, the Maternity teams decided to set up a follow-up of patients after their return home through a telephone interview with psychologists or student psychologists in Master at D10 - D12 and 6-8 weeks postpartum in order to identify patients at increased risk of postpartum depression and to set up appropriate management if necessary for these patients. We therefore propose through this project to describe the consequences of this separation from the spouse during the postpartum stay and then with the family after returning home within the context of quarantine by assessing the incidence of post-partum depression during this sanitary crisis. A telephone interview of all the patients will be proposed on D10 - D12 and at 6-8 weeks postpartum using specific questionnaire to calculate a score of depression. This early identification will allow the establishment of an adapted psychological follow-up.
Description: assess the emotional impact of women's separation from their partners following childbirth and then their family isolation when they return home in the context of the health crisis linked to the COVID-19 epidemic
Measure: Proportion of patients with postpartum depression defined by an EPDS score >12 Time: Between week 6 and week 8Description: assess the emotional impact of women's separation from their partners following childbirth and then their family isolation when they return home in the context of the health crisis linked to the COVID-19 epidemic
Measure: Proportion of patients with postpartum depression defined by an EPDS score >12 Time: Between day 10 and day 12Description: as above, maternal psychological history as vulnerability factor included : history of perinatal loss, IMG, history of post partum depression.
Measure: Presence of psycological maternal risk factor Time: Between day 1 and day 5Description: Participants will be asked open-ended questions about their post-partum experience in the context of COVID-19 epidemic lockdown. The interviews will be transcribed and tagged with codes which have been extracted from the data. As more data is collected codes can be regrouped into concepts and then categories. These categories are the basis of the "theory model" that emerge from the narrative of the patients. The verbatim of the interview will be analyzed using NVIVO software which allows a grounded theory approach. Using software package as Nvivo (Hutchison, 2010) with automatic analysis of the verbatim to extract codes and concepts provides a transparent account of the data and enhance study validity. Verbatim are download in the software, that extract repeated lexical fields the categories from the mother's narrative. As this is a qualitative study, there are no expected outcomes. Outcomes will be determined by the themes that arise from the post-partum interview process.
Measure: Measure Qualitative Interviews by Grounded theory Time: Week 14In this protocol, we seek to examine the role of social media in information spread during a pandemic. As there have been few pandemics in the last decade (coinciding with the rise of social media), its use in this context remains understudied. This study hence intends to: (1) characterize the nature of social media use, (2) understand the impact of social media use, and (3) understand how to communicate accurate information.
Description: 21-item validated scale assessing symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress (DASS-21): Min score = 0, Max score = 21; higher score indicates a worse outcome.
Measure: Change in DASS scores across 9 days Time: Twice: once during initial enrollment, and then 8 days afterDescription: 1 item each day on fear specifically of the COVID-19 situation (measured on a 4 point scale: min = 1, max = 4; higher scores indicating greater fear about the outbreak).
Measure: Changes in fear with regards the COVID-19 situation across 1 week Time: 1 week, starting from date after initial DASS survey completionDescription: 1 item each day on how much they thought about the outbreak that day (measured on a 5 point scale: min = 1, max = 5; higher scores indicating more thinking about the outbreak).
Measure: Changes in amount of thinking about the COVID-19 situation across 1 week Time: 1 week, starting from date after initial DASS survey completionAttention control for external information and cognitive control for internal information play a causal role in emotion regulation according to different theories and empirical research. Former research in the lab of the investigators has shown positive effects of an interactive attention control/interpretation training, in which participants learned to unscramble scrambled sentences ("life is my a party mess") in a positive way ("my life is a party") by getting eye-tracking feedback about attention for positive ("party") vs. negative information ("mess"). After the training, participants could better reinterpret negative photos in a positive way. Attention- and cognitive control mechanisms prior to negative stressors (proactive control) and after negative stressors (reactive control) seem to play a role in this. Moreover, research has shown that low perceived control and negative expectations about future emotion regulation skills results in lower proactive control and a higher need of reactive control. Based on this, the assumption can be made that the effects of attention control training - targeting reactive control - could benefit from adding techniques that affect proactive control (e.g. psycho-education). In the present study this is investigated by testing a new two weeks attention control training to see if this has a positive effect on stress related complaints, depressive symptoms and emotion regulation. Given that the current COVID-19 pandemic is perceived as very stressful by a lot of people, the training could help here. Participants between 18 to 65 years of age are recruited during this corona crisis. The attention control training is a new smartphone based application. Participants have to unscramble scrambled sentences into grammatically correct sentences. In the training condition, participants are asked to unscramble the scrambled sentences in a positive way. By swiping, participants can see part of the sentences. This gives the investigators an image about the processing of the sentences. This procedure allows to measure how long participants attend to positive and negative words. In the training condition participants get feedback about the duration they process positive and negative words. In the control group participants unscramble the sentences as fast as possible without feedback on emotional attention. Participants only get feedback about the speed at which sentences are unscrambled. Before and after the 10 training sessions, attention of the participants is measured to see the effects of the training. Questionnaires on depressive and anxiety complaints, emotion regulation strategies, well-being and stress are administered before and after the training. There is also a follow-up measure 2 months after the training. Both groups (training and control) watch a psycho-education video before the start of the training.
Description: Measured by Mood and Anxiety Symptom Questionnaire (MASQ-30). It measures the dimensions of Clark and Watson's tripartite model, covering both shared and distinct symptoms of depression and anxiety. It has three sub-scales: Negative Affect (NA), associated with both depression and anxiety; lack of Positive Affect (PA), associated with depressive moods; and Somatic Arousal (SA), associated with anxiety. Scores are ranging from 10 to 50, with higher scores indicating more severe psychopathology.

Measure: Changes in perceived stress Time: pre-test (before starting the training), post-test (immediately after the training), follow-up (two months after the training)Description: Measured by the Credibility/Expectancy Questionnaire (CEQ). It measures participants' credibility and expectancy of the training. In the credibility scale the items are rated on 9- point scales ranging from 1 (Not at all logical/useful/confident) to 9 (Very logical/effective/confident). This leads to a total score on this scale between 3 and 27. In the expectancy scale the same 9-point scale is used and an 11-point scale (from 0% to 100%). Responses are standardized to get the total expectancy score. Higher scores represent higher credibility and expectancy.
Measure: Treatment Credibility and Expectancy Time: post-test (immediately after the training)Description: A question was added to determine how pleasant the training is perceived by the participants. It is scored on a scale from 0 to 10 where 0 stands for "very unpleasant" and 10 stands for "very pleasant".
Measure: Perceived pleasantness of the training Time: post-test (immediately after the training)The Positive Affect Regulation sKills (PARK) Course is an online program containing a series of positive emotion skills for individuals experiencing stress and distress as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, recommended/mandatory social distancing, and other related stressors (e.g., loss of income, shortages of daily essentials, etc.). The study specifically targets positive emotion, and offers an array of skills in a self-guided online delivery platform, making the program accessible and convenient in times when social distancing and self-quarantine are paramount to quell the spread of COVID-19. Our main aims are: Aim 1: To explore the effects of PARK on anxiety, depression, feelings of social isolation, positive affect, and a sense of meaning and purpose. Aim 2: To test whether age or gender moderate the effects of the program.

This pathology may have strong negative impact on both women and neonate's health. The women's satisfaction degree in front of childbirth is an important factor associated with postnatal depression since women unsatisfied of their childbirth and/or women with a complicated childbirth are more encline to suffer from postnatal depression. It is likely that the actual context of Covid 19 pandemia and the change in obstetrical cares organization may have a negative impact on women's satisfaction about their childbirth and so a negative impact on the risk of postnatal depression.

It may lead to negative mental health consequences and thus the emergence of anxiety and depressive symptoms. From March 17th, 2020 to May 11th 2002, the French government has implemented national containment measures due to the Covid-19 epidemic. Although there are data on the psychological impact and experience of quarantine measures in people who have been infected or suspected of being carriers of certain pathogens (e.g. Ebola), there are no data on such impact in the French population and quarantines lasting longer than 21 days. Investigators therefore propose to conduct a human and social sciences study in order to better understand the current situation

The study also seeks to examine the predictors of parental stress rates related to these non-pharmacological interventions (NPI's). In addition, the research will investigate the association between parental stress associated and psychopathology symptoms (i.e., depression and generalized anxiety). The aim of the project is to: - Inform the policymakers, the general public, scientists, and health practitioners about the psychological associations of the COVID-19-related government-initiated measures on parental stress, with special focus on the school and kindergarten lockdowns. - Provide a foundation for policymakers and health-care professionals to employ interventions that protect families against possibly increased psychological stressors. - Help policymakers and healthcare professionals to better understand the association of demographic variables and other predictors on parental stress and parent-child dysfunction, which information necessary for evaluating the psychological impact of NPIs on parental stress and thus the framework under which decisions about school/kindergarten lockdowns are made.
Description: Three items from the Danish Parental Stress Scale (PSS) was selected, which intends to be a short measure of perceived stress resulting from being a parent (Pontoppidan et al., 2018). The scale consists of nine items measuring parental stress where each is measured on a five-point Likert scale (1-5), with the scores ranging from 3 to 15. Higher scores indicate higher parental stress. The following three were chosen in this large-scale investigation: 1) I feel overwhelmed by the responsibility of being a parent. 2) The major source of stress in my life is my child(ren), and 3) It is difficult to balance different responsibilities because of my child(ren) (Pontoppidan et al., 2018).
Measure: Measure of parental stress Time: All data was collected between March 31st 2020 and April 7th 2020, a period where the NPIs (nonpharmacological interventions) against the COVID-19 pandemic were identical and constant in NorwayDescription: The Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9; Kroenke, Spitzer & Williams, 2001) is used to measure symptoms of depression in accordance with the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder. The questionnaire consists of nine items where each is scored on a four-point Likert scale (0-3), with the range of scores from 0 to 27. Higher scores indicate greater depression severity, and scores above 10 are considered as the cut-off that indicating that the patient is within the depressive area.
Measure: Patient Health Questionnaire 9 Time: All data was collected between March 31st 2020 and April 7th 2020, a period where the NPIs (nonpharmacological interventions) against the COVID-19 pandemic were identical and constant in NorwayDescription: The Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7; Spitzer, Kroenke, Williams & Löwe, 2006) is a questionnaire consisting of seven items measuring symptoms of anxiety and worry. The items are scored on a four-point Likert scale (0-3), with the scores ranging from 0 to 21. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety severity, and scores that are above the cutoff of 10 are considered to be in the clinical range (Spitzer et al., 2006). Specific cut-off for Norwegian samples have been found yielding a cut-off of 8 and above for high sensitivity and specificity (Johnson, Ulvenes, Øktedalen & Hoffart, 2019).

The primary aim is to compare differences in anxiety and depression scores of pregnant women between countries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The secondary aim is to assess demographic, economic, and social aspects affecting maternal anxiety and depression scores among pregnant women worldwide in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, investigators will be able to compare differences in perception of the different aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic (social distancing, restrictions related to delivery) between countries and according to the epidemic status (number of infected patients, number of reported deaths). The comparisons will also be done according to COVID-19 status of the participants.

Measure: Depression Time: 4 monthsBackground: COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019) is a virulent infectious disease with an incubation period ranging between 2-14 days. This highly contagious disease is caused by Sars-Cov-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2). The number of people infected by COVID-19 has increased exponentially since January as a result of traveling and contact with COVID-19 infected individual. Initially, the seriousness of COVID-19 was not gauged properly until World Health Organization classified it as Pandemic type infectious disease and rapidly made plans actions to fight against it on 20 January, 2020. The uncertainty and low predictability of COVID-19 not only threaten people's physical health, but also affect people's mental health, especially in terms of emotions and cognition. As consequence of public emergency, with its economic health and social impacts, psychological repercussions among people are inevitable at the short and long term. Importance and justify the study: This study will assess the effectiveness of e therapy in treating anxiety and depression during a pandemic. This would be a novel way of providing therapy during crises Hypothesis: We hypothesize that compared to self-help email delivered therapy, the therapist guided e-Therapy is more efficacious in reducing the level of psychosocial stress among distressed individuals in Oman during COVID19. Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of six weeks therapist guided e-Therapy versus Self-help e-mail delivered therapy on Psychological distress among random sample of individuals live in Oman during COVID 19 pandemic. This study will recruit 60 participants from a list respondents to public survey who reported high levels of depression and anxiety, and randomize them to either therapist guided e-psychotherapy(intervention) or (control) self-help arms. Participants in the intervention arm will receive six sessions of therapist guided e therapy as described in the study schedule. Participants in the control arm will receive self-help psychotherapy contents similar to the intervention arm as detailed in the study schedule. Throughout the study, outcome and safety assessments will be conducted.
Description: Depressive symptoms will be measured with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) instrument. The PHQ-9 is a nine item survey to assess depressive symptoms over the previous 2 weeks. The patient may answer "not at all" (scored as a 0) , "several days" (scored as a 1), "more than half the days" (scored as a 2), or "nearly every day" (scored as a 3) for each item. The range in total scores is from 0 (no depressive symptoms or best outcome) to 27 (severe depressive symptoms or worst outcome). The primary out come measure is to calculate the change in the mean scores of PHQ-9 from baseline to the end of the study between the intervention and the control.

Measure: Proportion of Patients Maintaining Response During Relapse Prevention Time: 24 weeks (Tapering and Relapse prevention phase)To limit the pandemic Covid-19 infection, the French government imposed a closure of all Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The family's visitations are prohibited during active Covid -19 pandemic. This restrictive visit policy could result in an increase in symptoms of anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder for relatives of ICU patients. The aim of this study is to compare symptoms of anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress for relatives of ICU patients during Covid period with those during no Covid period.

This is the time period where the major pandemic protocols are lifted in Norway, following three months of strict pandemic mitigation protocols. The study further aims to identify subgroups with highest levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms during the measurement period, to identify vulnerable subgroups with maintained symptoms three months following the pandemic. Hypotheses and research questions: Research Question 1: What is the level of depressive and anxiety symptoms three months following the employment of the strict viral mitigation protocols (i.e., physical distancing protocols) in the general adult population? What are the proportion above the validated cut-offs for depression and general anxiety? Hypothesis 1: There will be a significant decrease in the levels of depression and anxiety symptoms from the baseline (T1) with the strictest mitigation protocols to measurement the measurement period three months into pandemic (T2) where major pandemic mitigation protocols are lifted. Additionally, there will be a significant decrease in the proportion of the sample meeting validated cut-offs for depression and anxiety from T1 to T2. Hypothesis 2: Higher level at T1 and less reduction from T1 to T2 in positive metacognitions, negative metacognitions, and unhelpful coping strategies all measured with CAS-1, will be related to less reduction in depression and anxiety, above and beyond age, gender, and education. Higher level at T1 and increases from T1 to T2 in physical activity and perceived competence will be related to greater reduction in depression and anxiety, above and beyond, age, gender, and education. Exploratory: The investigators will further explore the proportion showing reliable change in depression and anxiety and investigate the differences in changes in depression and anxiety across different demographic subgroups in the sample
Description: • The Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9; Kroenke, Spitzer & Williams, 2001) is used to measure symptoms of depression in accordance with the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder. The questionnaire consists of nine items where each is scored on a four-point Likert scale (0-3), with the range of scores from 0 to 27. Higher scores indicate greater depression severity, and scores above 10 are considered as the cut-off that indicating that the patient is within the depressive area.
Measure: Patient Health Questionnaire 9 Time: Data is set to be collected starting from 22nd of June until enough data has been collected.The data collection period will last no longer than three weeks.Description: • The Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7; Spitzer, Kroenke, Williams & Löwe, 2006) is a questionnaire consisting of seven items measuring symptoms of anxiety and worry. The items are scored on a four-point Likert scale (0-3), with the scores ranging from 0 to 21. Specific cut-off for Norwegian samples have been found yielding a cut-off of 8 and above for high sensitivity and specificity (Johnson, Ulvenes, Øktedalen & Hoffart, 2019).
Measure: Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 Time: Data is set to be collected starting from 22nd of June until enough data has been collected.The data collection period will last no longer than three weeks.Central indicators of psychological functioning such as difficulties in emotion regulation and habitual problems in one's relating to others are likely to have been substantially impacted by the COVID-19 amelioration measures of societal lock-down and physical (ne social) distancing. In turn, as these amelioration measures have been relaxed, that impact will presumably be reduced, gradually returning these factors to pre-crisis levels. Also, these factors are likely to predict mental health outcomes such as symptoms of depression and anxiety throughout the pandemic and beyond, so that levels of emotion regulation difficulties and interpersonal problems early on will predict later symptom status. Similarly reductions in such difficulties during the various phases of the outbreak will be associated with a concurrent reduction in psychological symptoms and reduced symptom levels at later stages.

Description: The Danish Parental Stress Scale is developed as a short measure of parental stress consisting of nine items. Three items from this scale were chosen by a panel of clinical experts, with the aim of avoiding topological overlap: 1) I feel overwhelmed by the responsibility of being a parent, 2) The major source of stress in my life is my child(ren), and 3) It is difficult to balance different responsibilities because of my child(ren).
Measure: Parental stress Time: Data is set to be collected starting from 22th of June. The data collection period will last no longer than three weeks depending on the response to the questionnaireMigrants and refugees are vulnerable subgroups in general with regards to symptoms of psychopathology. Furthermore, recent calls for paper urge investigation on current mental health status of migrants and refugees during the pandemic, as different barriers such as lack of emotional support from relatives, in addition to language barriers potentially impairing comprehension about the pandemic having the chance to increase symptoms of psychopathology such as anxiety and depression. This study seeks to investigate the levels of mental health symptoms (i.e., depression, general anxiety, and health anxiety) among immigrants and refugees in Norway during the COVID-19 pandemic. Demographic factors will be investigated to identify subgroups with increased risk of meeting clinically significant depression and anxiety symptoms, as established by validated cut-offs to be elaborated below. Furthermore, transdiagnostic predictors which may prove as useful intervention targets will be investigated.

The data collection period will last no longer than three weeks depending on the response to the questionnaireSARS-COV infection first has begun at Wuhan, China, and then became a pandemic. The first COVID-19 case has been reported on March 11, 2020, in Turkey. People older than 65 years old have been locked down on March 21 and people younger than 20 years old locked down at April 03. A total lockdown has been done a few times lasting for 3 or 4 days, especially at weekends. Renal replacement modalities have been affected in different ways during the pandemic. Patients with kidney transplantation and patients performing home hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis have been advised to perform self-isolation at homes. However, center hemodialysis patients continued to come dialysis centers obligatorily. Syrian civil war has been continuing since 2011, and Turkey has accepted millions of Syrian people in a position called temporary protection. There are many Syrian center hemodialysis patients both in Turkey and in our unit. The investigators do not know if pandemic affected Syrian patients different than Turkish ones. The aim of this study is to compare beck depression scores of Turkish and Syrian patients undergoing hemodialysis during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Description: Total score of Beck Depression Inventory (Minimin score: 0, Maximum score: 63; higher scores mean worse outcome)
Measure: Score of Beck Depression Inventory Time: through study completion, an average of 6 monthsThe aim of the study is to identify symptom-level intervention targets for depression related to the COVID-19 outbreak. First, we will assess centrality indices of the network of depression symptoms plus mechanism variables derived from the metacognitive model of psychopathology measured at a period of strict social distancing protocols (T1). Then, we will examine whether change in the most central symptom and metacognitive variables are more related to overall symptom reduction from the period of strict (T1) to a period of lifted social distancing protocols (T2) three months later. On the basis of the results, interventions can be suggested that protect the general public against increased psychological suffering and dysfunction during society's handling of pandemics.

Description: The State/Trait Anxiety Inventory consists of two subscales of 20 items each that measure anxiety as a transient state of tension (Scale A-State), and as a characteristic of the personality relatively stable over time (Scale B -trait). The items are composed by an assertion to which the subject responds indicating their degree of identification. In the case of state anxiety, the scale goes from 1 (not at all), 2 (somewhat), 3 (moderately), 4 (very much), while in the trait anxiety it ranges from 1 (almost never), 2 (sometimes), 3 (often), 4 (almost always). In both, a percentage of the items evaluate well-being or absence of anxiety, while the rest of the items to the presence of anxiety. Scores range from 20 to 80, in each subscale, with higher scores correlating with greater anxiety. It is expected a statistically significant decrease (P < 0.05) in the anxiety symptoms.

Measure: Self reported mood ratings Time: 8 weeksThe recent COVID-19 pandemic has affected many aspects of individuals social life and its negative consequences on Canadian public health go far beyond the direct overload of the hospital care system. Self-isolation and financial uncertainty can significantly deteriorate individuals' mental health, which is only going to aggravate with prolonged physical distancing strategies. Adding to this is the personal and public trauma of lost lives and soon there will be an unprecedented epidemic of mental health problems with crushing effects on the public health sector and economy. To meet this huge new demand for an already strained health system, there is a need for innovative new approaches that significantly expand the capacity of care delivery. While it may not be possible in the short term to increase the number of mental healthcare providers or the number of hours they work, improving their time spent efficiently might be the solution. Virtual care and online delivery of psychotherapy, shown to be clinically effective, efficient and cost-effective, might be the perfect solution to address the high demand faced now. The investigators aim to establish the first academic online psychotherapy clinic to manage mental health problems secondary to COVID-19. The goal is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of treating COVID-19 related mental health issues in this clinic, offering a 10-week, diagnosis-specific, online psychotherapy program. The investigators will use the Online Psychotherapy Tool (OPTT), a secure cloud-based digital mental health platform, developed by the PI, Dr. Alavi. Potentially, this method of care delivery could increase care capacity by four-folds. The findings from this project have the potential to influence clinical practice and policy and increase accessibility to care during COVID-19 pandemic, without sacrificing the quality of care.

Measure: Qualitative Information: Personal, social, and cultural factors Time: Week 12Postpartum depression (PPD) already affects up to 1 in 5 women and left untreated costs $150,000 per case over the lifespan. Under normal conditions, just 10% of women with PPD get evidence-based treatment, a situation that has worsened substantially during COVID-19. The purpose of this study is to a assess if self-referred, online adaptation of a 1-Day Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)-Based Workshop for PPD delivered up to 30 women at a time can lead to reductions in PPD, if the workshops are cost-effective, and to assess workshop impact on common complications of PPD (anxiety, partner relationship discord, problems with mother-infant attachment). 334 women will be randomized to receive either immediate treatment or treatment 12 weeks later (waitlist control). Study measures will be collected at baseline (immediately before treatment workshop) and 12 weeks later (immediately before wait list control workshop).

Measure: Participant feedback on their experiences with specific aspects of the Brief-SfSL intervention Time: 3 monthsAnxiety, depression and stress are common during pregnancy. These have been found to negatively impact mother and child outcomes. When anxiety, depression, and stress are present in pregnant women, it is therefore important to manage them to improve the outcome of the mother and her child. Although pregnancy itself has been shown to increase anxiety, depression and stress, these issues are further elevated in high-risk pregnancy groups. Mothers at risk of preterm delivery (less than 37 weeks gestational age), have been found to have higher rates of depression, anxiety and stress compared to uncomplicated term pregnancies. In addition, anxiety, depression and stress symptoms themselves increase the risk for preterm delivery, creating a vicious cycle for this high-risk group. Mindfulness is a tool that has been during pregnancy to reduce depression, anxiety, and stress. Many studies have found mindfulness to be an appropriate management option in normal term pregnancies. To date, there have been no studies that have looked at Mindfulness as a tool for mothers admitted due to risk of preterm delivery. This study will explore the impact of teaching mindfulness skills to inpatient mothers at risk of preterm delivery and studying its effects on maternal depression, anxiety, and stress. This study involves providing Mindfulness strategies during the mother's inpatient admission for the risk of preterm delivery for four consecutive weeks. Participants will be enrolled through informed consent. All participants will be given pre and post participation questionnaires to examine the impact of mindfulness on anxiety, depression and stress. The participants will also be encouraged to maintain a weekly mindfulness log. The results of this research may lead to future studies looking at the impact of mindfulness practice for high-risk pregnancies. This will also help open up the possibility of offering such courses for inpatient and outpatient high-risk pregnancies in the future.

One of the main components of the current COVID-19 pandemic is the social isolation imposed on the population. This study seeks to assess the impact of the physical and social living conditions of the pandemic in a cohort of urban immigrants in Chile (i.e. STRING) evaluated six months prior to the pandemic. Specific aims are to 1. Describe the variations in the levels of mental health of immigrants during and after the pandemic, 2. Calculate the effect of social isolation on the levels of mental health of the immigrant population, and 3. Identify risk / protective factors associated with increased mental health problems An online survey will be applied to the STRING cohort at two moments of the pandemic (i.e. during quarantines and after six months).
Description: The Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9; Kroenke, Spitzer & Williams, 2001) is used to measure symptoms of depression in accordance with the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder. The questionnaire consists of nine items scored on a four-point Likert scale (0-3), with the range of scores from 0 to 27. Higher scores indicate greater depression severity, and scores above 10 are considered as the cut-off that indicating that the patient is within the depressive area. Specific cut-off for primary care samples in Chile have been found yielding a cut-off of 7 and above for high sensitivity and specificity (Saldivia, Aslan, Cova, Vicente, Inostroza & Rincón, 2019)

The study hypothesizes that yoga practice promotes protection and enhances recovery from the COVID-19 infection. To prove the hypothesis, the study investigators are collecting and comparing responses from seasoned yoga practitioners to age and gender matched controls participants (who do not practice yoga routinely) regarding their recovery from the COVID 19 infection. Based on validated questionnaires on perceived stress, anxiety, depression, well-being, mindfulness, joy disposition, and resilience in participants over the study duration, the investigators also collect information on participant's mental and emotional predispositions.
Description: The study aims to evaluate changes in perceived levels of stress in survey participants and the effect yoga or reading a book has over them. We use a validated scale for this purpose named, Perceived Stress Scale. The scale measures the degree to which situations in participant's life are appraised as stressful.

Measure: Changes in Post Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) scores Time: Baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeksIn December 2019, a highly infectious disease caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in Wuhan, China. On March 11th 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Facing this critical situation, health care workers on the front line are at risk of developing psychological distress and other mental health symptoms. Physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) physicians works both in specialty outpateint/inpatient clinic and pandemic outpatient/inpatient clinics during the outbreak. Accordingly, PM&R physicians are expected to be mentally affected by COVID-19 pandemic. In this study we aimed to evaluate mental health status of PM&R physicians and related factors during COVID-19 pandemic. This study is a cross-sectional survey which is conducted on an online platform. Demographic data, working conditions of PM&R physicians and factors that may be related to mental health status is questioned in the survey. The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale - 21 (DASS-21) is used to measure the emotional states of depression, anxiety and stress.The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) is used to assess the severity of both nighttime and daytime components of insomnia.

Measure: Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales 21 Score Time: 5 monthsDescription: The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) is a brief instrument that was designed to assess the severity of both nighttime and daytime components of insomnia.
Measure: Insomnia severity index score Time: 5 monthsThis research study is designed to investigate the effects of a brief psychological intervention for improving depressed mood in older individuals (65 years and older) in isolation during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The treatment is delivered by telephone and consists of four weekly individual sessions. Two therapeutic methods are used in combination during this intervention: Behavioral activation (BA) and Mental Imagery (MI). BA involves identifying and scheduling enjoyable and meaningful activities to improve mood and reduce social isolation. To enhance BA efficacy and adherence, MI is paired with BA as MI is known to activate emotion and motivation. The MI intervention in this study involves having participants imagine, in vivid sensory detail, engaging in some of the activities that are scheduled during BA. Approximately 154 individuals will participate in the study. Half of the participants will be randomised to start the intervention immediately, while the other half of the participants will be randomized to a control group receiving the intervention after 4 weeks. This procedure makes it possible to evaluate the effects of the treatment while not disadvantaging participants randomized to the control group. Participants will be asked to fill in questionnaires before, during (at the end of each intervention week), and after treatment (or waiting period for the control group). Questionnaires will also be sent 1-, 3- and 6 months after treatment to follow up on the results. A smaller group of participants (10-15) will be asked to participate in a more detailed interview about how they experienced the treatment.

Measure: Risk and protection factors Time: 15 minutesThe COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying lockdown measures have made mental health a pressing public health concern. Acts that focus on benefiting others-known as prosocial behaviors-offer one promising intervention that is both flexible and low cost. However, neither the range of emotional states prosocial acts impact nor the size of those effects is currently clear, both of which directly influence its attractiveness as a treatment option. Using a large online sample from Canada and the United States, the investigators will examine the effect of a three-week prosocial intervention on two indicators of emotional well-being (happiness and the belief that one's life is valuable) and mental health (anxiety and depression). Respondents will be randomly assigned to perform prosocial, self-focused, or neutral behaviors each week. Two weeks after the intervention, a final survey will assess whether the intervention has a lasting effect on mental health and emotional well-being. The results will illuminate whether prosocial interventions are a viable approach to addressing mental health needs during the current COVID-19 pandemic, as well for those who face emotional challenges during normal times.

They enjoy life regardless of what is going on, getting the most out of everything. To what extent does this characterization describe you?" (1 = "not at all" to 7 = "a great deal"). (4) "Some people are generally not very happy. Although they are not depressed, they never seem as happy as they might be. To what extent does this characterization describe you?" (1= "not at all" to 7= "a great deal"; reverse coded) These four items will be averaged into a scale ranging from 1-7, where higher scores indicate greater subjective happiness.
Measure: Change in happiness from baseline using the subjective happiness scale Time: baseline, end of weeks 1, 2, 3, and 5Description: Respondents' individual perceptions of whether their life has value will be measured using the valued life subscale developed by Morgan and Farsides. This measure will consist of the average of the following four items: (1) "My life is worthwhile," (2) "My life is significant," (3) I really value my life," and (4) I hold my own life in high regard." In each instance, response options will run from -3 = "strongly disagree" to 3 = "strongly agree".
Measure: Change in valued life assessment from baseline using 4-item scale Time: baseline, end of weeks 1, 2, 3, and 5Description: Depression will be measured using the well-established 8-item short-form of the Centre for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D). Respondents will report how often in the past week they (1) felt depressed, (2) felt that everything was an effort, (3) felt that sleep was restless, (4) felt happy (reverse coded), (5) enjoyed life (reverse coded), (6) felt lonely, (7) felt sad, and (8) could not get going. Responses will be scored where 0 = "rarely or none of the time," 1 = "some of the time," 2 = "a moderate amount of time," and 3 = "most or all of the time."
Measure: Change in depression from baseline using the CESD (8-item) Time: baseline, end of weeks 1, 2, 3, and 5Description: Anxiety will be measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety (HADS-A), which is both commonly used and well-validated. This is a 7-item scales that asks respondents how often in the past week they: (1) felt tense or wound up, (2) got a frightened feeling as if something awful was about to happen, (3) had worrying thoughts go through their mind, (4) got a frightened feeling like butterflies in the stomach, (5) felt restless as if they had to be on the move, (6) had a sudden feeling of panic, and (7) could sit at ease and feel relaxed. To ensure consistency with our measure of depression, responses will be coded where 0 = "rarely or none of the time," 1 = "some of the time," 2 = "a moderate amount of time," and 3 = "most or all of the time."
Measure: Change in anxiety from baseline using the HADS-A Time: baseline, end of weeks 1, 2, 3, and 5This study investigates the feasibility of a transdiagnostic course that is intended to work for a large variety of patient groups with clinically significant depression or anxiety in primary care. This is a prospective single-group study where 68 adults with clinically significant symptoms of depression or general anxiety, and up to 25 adults with subclinical symptoms, attend up to 6 weekly structured large-group course sessions which focus on evidence-based strategies to reduce psychiatric symptoms and increase wellbeing. If necessary, due to the covid-19 pandemic, the course will be held online.

Teenage depression has far-reaching consequences including impairments in academic and work performance and social and family relationships, substance abuse, and worsening of other health conditions, which can persist into adulthood. Access to mental health care for teenagers is limited due to a shortage of mental health providers and many teenagers and parents are reluctant to take antidepressants. COVID-19 and mandated physical and social distancing is expected to increase rates of teenage depression, and further limit access to traditional methods of care (e.g. psychotherapy). This highlights an urgent need to develop accessible, digital treatments for teenage depression to address the serious mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. This fully virtual study (https://www.limbix.com/spark) will compare the relative safety, effectiveness, and engagement of a mobile application based on cognitive behavioral therapy and behavioral activation (Limbix Spark), focusing on the idea that engaging in behaviors that are rewarding or provide a sense of mastery can be effective in reducing symptoms of depression. Limbix Spark will be compared to a mobile app containing educational material about depression (Psychoeducation).

On a typical day, many workers must make rapid and critical decisions, manage numerous demands, team conflicts, and challenging situations with patients and their families. For some health care workers (HCW), the current pandemic - COVID-19 - has also exacerbated these challenges. Providing psychological support is key in alleviating stress among HCWs, yet the situation does not require therapy because HCWs do not principally suffer from a mental disorder. RECHARGE was specifically developed for HCWs and is an abbreviated online version of Problem Management Plus, an evidence-based intervention that helps to cope with stress in times of crisis. As a brief psychological intervention for adults affected by adversity emerging from stress exposure, RECHARGE teaches people three well-documented strategies to manage acute stress (a: managing stress, b: managing worry, c: meaningful activity). It includes psychoeducation, arousal reduction techniques, managing worries and problem-solving skills, behavioral activation, and enhancement of meaningful activities, which are all based on the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of RECHARGE to reduce stress in HCWs and enhance their work performance. Participants in this randomized controlled trial (RCT) study are randomly assigned to either RECHARGE or the active control group. To this end, stress including symptoms of burnout, worries, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and work performance will be measured at baseline, post-intervention, and at a 2 and 6 month follow up.
Description: HCWs in the intervention condition (RECHARGE) demonstrate a lower level of distress after the intervention and at 2-month follow-up than HCWs in the active control condition.

Measure: Higher work performance in intervention group than in active control group Time: post-intervention (Week 5) and 2 month follow-up (Week 13)This study is a single-centre, interventional randomised controlled trial. Participants will be individually randomised to receive either COMPASS online CBT + "usual care" (standard LTC charity support), or usual care only. Randomisation will be stratified by recruiting charity site to ensure a balance of participants with different LTCs across the intervention and control arm. Randomisation will occur using a 1:1 allocation ratio managed by RECAP software. Participants randomised to COMPASS will receive access to the online program. It consists of 11 online modules which target challenges associated with living with LTC(s) and includes, amongst other things, psycho-education, patient examples, interactive tasks and goal setting. Participants are linked to a therapist; 'guide', who will provide 6 x 30 minute support sessions delivered fortnightly in the format preferred by the client (phone and/or in-site message). Participants allocated to the usual care control arm will receive the usual care that is available to them via their charity. All charities include a helpline which can be accessed via telephone or email. The helplines at all charities offer one-off emotional and/or informational support provided by people trained in active listening and/or counselling skills. Additional support avenues that can be accessed may include online support groups, local community support groups and informational resources.

The hospital services include surgeries for benign diseases, cancer surgery and obstetric surgery. A study conducted by CovidSurg Collaborative estimated that 28,404,603 operations would be cancelled or postponed during the peak 12 weeks of disruption due to COVID-19. Globally, 81.7% of benign surgery, 37.7% of cancer surgery and 25.4% of elective Caesarean sections would be cancelled or postponed. If countries increase their normal surgical volume by 20% post-pandemic, it would take a median 45 weeks to clear the backlog of operations resulting from COVID-19 disruption. This study aims to estimate total number of elective operations postponed during COVID-19 in geriatric population.

Measure: Physical and psychological impact of postponed elective surgery in geriatric population during COVID-19 pandemic Time: June 2020 - December 2020Pregnancy and early parenthood are life changing periods characterized by intense emotions and a high vulnerability to emotional problems. Overall 10 - 20 % of pregnant women and women in early postpartum period suffer from mental health problems. In the first months of 2020 , pregnant and breastfeeding women have also needed to face the COVID19 pandemic including the exceptional quarantine measures that have disturbed private and professional life . In addition to the fear of infection , these measures might have negatively impacted the emotional wellbeing of women . As depressive symptoms and anxiety in the pre and peripartum period have been associated with adverse maternal , neonatal and infant outcomes , the psychological impact of COVID19 , and its associated quarantine measures , on pregnant women and new mothers is cause for concern
Description: This scale is composed of two parts, part one measures anxiety traits and part two measures anxiety state. Each part comprises 20 statements. This scale is a (4) point scale, with a score ranging a minimum of 20 grades to a maximum of 80 grades.
Measure: The mean scores anxiety and depression among pregnant women during COVID-19 pandemic Time: one hourSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has begun, first in Wuhan, China, and then became a pandemic. The first SARS-CoV-2 case in Turkey was reported on March 11, 2020. People older than 65 years old became subject to lock down measures beginning on March 21, while people younger than 20 years old became subject to lock down measures beginning on April 03. A total lock down has been implemented a few times lasting between 3 to 4 days, especially at weekends. Several studies show that mental health problems could occur in public during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Depression and anxiety are a commonly known mental health issue in post-stroke patients. This patient population, who usually have to spend most of their time at home, remained completely at home and socially isolated due to the precautions required by the pandemic. Based on the above research evidence; depression, anxiety and phobia of SARS-CoV-2 may increase in the post stroke patients due to being in risk group and effects of measures taken against SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Therefore, we aimed to assess the depression, anxiety and SARS-CoV-2 phobia in post stroke patients during SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, and to explore the potential influence factors.
Description: The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale evaluation includes a total of 14 questions (score range 0-3), which are scored to separately estimate anxiety and depressive status (7 questions each). The individual score for the anxiety and depression subscales may vary from 0 to 21. The aim of this scoring system is not to make an objective diagnosis, but to determine the current presence and tendency to anxiety or depression at the time of diagnosis. A HADS score of 8 to 10 is broadly accepted as indicating mild symptoms, a score between 11-16 suggests moderate anxiety or depression, and a score of 16 or more indicates severe anxiety or depressive symptoms
Measure: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale Time: 3 monthsDescription: The Covid 19 Phobia Scale is a self-report instrument with a five-point Likert-type scale to assess the levels of SARS-CoV-2 phobia. All items are rated on a 5-point scale from "strongly disagree (1)" to "strongly agree (5)." The scores on the scale can range between 20 and 100 and a higher score indicates a greater phobia in the respected subscales and total scale. In the present study total scale scores ranged from 20 to 100. The scale examines four main factors: psychological, psycho-somatic, economic and social
