The emotional impact of Coronavirus 2019-nCoV (new Coronavirus disease)
Abstract
Background: A novel form of Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in Wuhan has created a confused and rapidly evolving situation. In this situational framework, patients and front-line healthcare workers are vulnerable.
Method: Studies were identified using large-circulation international journals found in two electronic databases: Scopus and Embase.
Results: Populations of patients that may require tailored interventions are older adults and international migrant workers. Older adults with psychiatric conditions may be experiencing further distress. The COVID-19 epidemic has underscored potential gaps in mental health services during emergencies.
Conclusions: Most health professionals working in isolation units and hospitals do not receive any training for providing mental health care. Fear seems more certainly a consequence of mass quarantine.
Keywords: Coronavirus (2019-nCoV); Emergencies; Mental health; Psychological problems.
