Item type:Publication, At the height of the storm: Healthcare staff's health conditions and job satisfaction and their associated predictors during the epidemic peak of COVID-19(Academic Press Inc., 2020-07-01)This study reports the physical health, mental health, anxiety, depression, distress, and job satisfaction of healthcare staff in Iran when the country faced its highest number of total active COVID-19 cases. In a sample of 304 healthcare staff (doctors, nurses, radiologists, technicians, etc.), we found a sizable portion reached the cutoff levels of disorders in anxiety (28.0%), depression (30.6%), and distress (20.1%). Age, gender, education, access to PPE (personal protective equipment), healthcare institutions (public vs. private), and individual status of COVID-19 infection each predicted some but not all the outcome variables of SF-12, PHQ-4, K6, and job satisfaction. The healthcare workers varied greatly in their access to PPE and in their status of COVID-19 infection: negative (69.7%), unsure (28.0%), and positive (2.3%). The predictors were also different from those identified in previous studies of healthcare staff during the COVID-19 crisis in China. This study helps to identify the healthcare staff in need to enable more targeted help as healthcare staff in many countries are facing peaks in their COVID-19 cases. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Sharing the risk at expense of power : Paying wages in equity to face the COVID-19(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Departamento Académico de Ciencias de la Gestión, 2020-11-26)This paper aims to discuss which basic implications firms need to be aware of if they decide to include equity shares as a part of salary payments in order for them to tackle financial risks due to the COVID-19 crisis, benefiting with better liquidity. We discuss this alternative from the strand of potential financial benefits, but also include a power perspective, emphasizing how firms could share with employees their decision-making processes as well as a part of their position of traditional hegemony. We concluded that firms’ decision regarding this financial alternative fits into a short-term benefit and at the same time threats a long run position of power. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Early evidence and predictors of mental distress of adults one month in the COVID-19 epidemic in Brazil(Elsevier, 2021-03-01)We aim to provide early evidence of mental distress and its associated predictors among adults one month into the COVID-19 crisis in Brazil. Methods: We conducted an online survey of 638 adults in Brazil on March 25–28, 2020, about one month (32 days) cross-sectionally after the first COVID-19 case in South America was confirmed in São Paulo. The 638 adults were in 25 states out of the 26 Brazilian states, with the only exception being Roraima, the least populated state in the Amazon. Of all the participating adults, 24%, 20%, and 18% of them were located in Rio de Janeiro state, Santa Catarina state, and São Paulo state respectively. Results: In Brazil, 52% (332) of the sampled adults experienced mild or moderate distress, and 18.8% (120) suffered severe distress. Adults who were female, younger, more educated, and exercised less reported higher levels of distress. Each individual's distance from the Brazilian epicenter of São Paulo interacted with age and workplace attendance to predict the level of distress. The “typhoon eye effect” was stronger for people who were older or attended their workplace less. The most vulnerable adults were those who were far from the epicenter and did not go to their workplace in the week before the survey. Conclusion: Identifying the predictors of distress enables mental health services to better target finding and helping the more mentally vulnerable adults during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Analyze the spread of coronavirus in the world to predict new cases under machine learning techniques(Seventh Sense Research Group, 2022-07-01)Coronavirus is a worldwide pandemic disease. At the same time, it is making unexpected changes in different countries of the World, with new variants in each region due to their autonomous climates. That is why the coronavirus is mutating, and there is a massive contagion that causes death. Consequently, it is necessary to analyze and identify where the new cases occurred and where is the possible area of attack of the new variant of covid 19. It is also necessary to know the characteristics and the stage of infection of patients with covid 19. This research method is based on a branch of artificial intelligence, machine learning; the idea is to use artificial intelligence techniques to analyze and predict new coronavirus cases, using classification models, decision trees, and the Bernoulli model. The case study was used to input a real-time database with a systematic record of covid-19 from 2020 to the present. Accordingly, the data and properties for implementing the model and training were defined to make the corresponding predictions of new cases of covid 19. Finally, as a final result, predictions of the number of new cases and total deaths of covid 19 in the World were made. Finally, this research aims to analyze the data on the spread of Covid-19 in the World to predict new cases and help society prevent new variants of Covid 19 by using artificial intelligence to provide various related solutions. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, COVID-19 pandemic-related emotional, social, and medical concerns of Latino patients with cancer: Perspectives of mental health providers(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2024-01-01)Latino people with cancer might face additional health, emotional, and socioeconomic burdens of the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods:This study included data from two waves of (independent) assessments with providers of mental health services to Latino/Hispanic people with cancer from the United States, Spain, and Latin America (first wave: May-July 2020; second wave: March-July 2021) who completed a cross-sectional online survey with open-ended and closed-ended questions, including concerns of people with cancer with/without COVID-19.Results:The response rates were 15% for Wave 1 (N = 88) and 14% for Wave 2 (N = 115). For Wave 1, 74 surveys were completed by clinicians and included in the analyses; for Wave 2, 115 surveys were included. Providers (first [77%] and second [84%] waves) reported that most patients had concerns about stress/symptoms of anxiety, followed by concerns about COVID-19 exposure (first [74%] and second [82%] waves) and family members' exposure (second wave 75%), hospital visits or appointments (82%, 79%, respectively), treatment/testing delays (69%, 72%, respectively), general health (58%, 71%, respectively), and income/salary loss or reduction (60%, 50%, respectively). According to providers, concerns of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 included fear of death and dying, spreading the disease, getting worse, and lack of appropriate medical care.Conclusion:Our findings reveal the need to address health, emotional, and socioeconomic burdens of the COVID-19 pandemic throughout Latin America, Spain, and the United States for Latino people with cancer. Interventions targeting the health care access, emotional, and socioeconomic needs of Latino people with cancer are warranted.
