Pain experience and social support of endometriosis patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany – results of a web-based cross-sectional survey
2021
Background Endometriosis is a chronic pain condition in premenopausal women. Pain is mainly characterized by pain intensity and may induce disability in all areas of daily life. Nevertheless, pain is influenced by emotional and social factors as well. Social distancing measures or quarantine, as reaction to rapidly rising infections with the COVID-19 virus due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, were implemented across Europe to prevent the spread of the virus and social distancing measures were imposed by the German government by beginning of March 2020 with initiation of the lockdown by the end of March 2020. The objective of this study was to assess, how social distancing measures during the lo…
Who can go back to work when the COVID-19 pandemic remits?
2020
AbstractThis paper seeks to determine which workers affected by lockdown measures can return to work when a government decides to apply lockdown exit strategies. This system, which we call Sequential Selective Multidimensional Decision (SSMD), involves deciding sequentially, by geographical areas, sectors of activity, age groups and immunity, which workers can return to work at a given time according to the epidemiological criteria of the country as well as that of a group of reference countries, used as a benchmark, that have suffered a lower level of lockdown de-escalation strategies. We apply SSMD to Spain, based on affiliation to the Social Security system prior to the COVID-19 pandemic…

Mental health and psychosocial support strategies in highly contagious emerging disease outbreaks of substantial public concern: A systematic scoping…
2021
Background Acute disease outbreaks such as the COVID-19 pandemic cause a high burden of psychological distress in people worldwide. Interventions to enable people to better cope with such distress should be based on the best available evidence. We therefore performed a scoping review to systematically identify and summarize the available literature of interventions that target the distress of people in the face of highly contagious disease outbreaks. Methods MEDLINE, Cochrane CENTRAL, Web of Science (January 2000 to May 7, 2020), and reference lists were systematically searched and screened by two independent reviewers. Quantitative and qualitative studies investigating the effects of psyc…
La comunità educante di fronte alla pandemia: possibili strategie di intervento e nuovi scenari in un’ottica di rete
2022
Quando nel mese di marzo 2020, anche i servizi educativi 0-6 in Italia furono chiusi in base alle misure di sicurezza per pandemia da Covid 19, ci si ritrovò da un giorno all’altro e senza alcuna esperienza pregressa, ad organizzare delle forme di educazione a distanza e di sostegno alle famiglie e ai bambini. Nell’articolo, in particolare, descrivo come si è cercato di far fronte all’emergenza nei nidi e nelle scuole dell’infanzia gestiti dal Comune di Palermo e come l’esperienza del primo lock down abbia permesso di mettere a fuoco alcune strategie di intervento che si sono rivelate una risorsa potenzialmente trasferibile in situazioni di normalità. Sottolineo, inoltre, come la necessità …
Global investments in pandemic preparedness and COVID-19: development assistance and domestic spending on health between 1990 and 2026
2023
Background The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted gaps in health surveillance systems, disease prevention, and treatment globally. Among the many factors that might have led to these gaps is the issue of the financing of national health systems, especially in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), as well as a robust global system for pandemic preparedness. We aimed to provide a comparative assessment of global health spending at the onset of the pandemic; characterise the amount of development assistance for pandemic preparedness and response disbursed in the first 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic; and examine expectations for future health spending and put into context the expected ne…

Lo zerosei di fronte all’emergenza COVID. Esperienze, ricerche e riflessioni pedagogiche
2022
Il volume prende le mosse da un incontro on line organizzato il 28 novembre 2020 dal Gruppo SIPED Infanzia sul tema: Lo zero-sei di fronte all’emergenza COVID. In quella sede vennero proposte riflessioni particolarmente interessanti, che hanno trovato poi un approfondimento scientifico nei diversi contributi raccolti. È suddiviso in tre parti tra loro interrelate, che spaziano temporalmente dall’improvvisa chiusura totale dei servizi per l’infanzia a marzo 2020, fino alle prime esperienze di riapertura in nuovi assetti organizzativi nell’a.s. 2020-21. La situazione pandemica e le sue conseguenze pratiche, hanno generato criticità gestionali, oltre a preoccupazione e disorientamento nel pers…
