    Abstract In spring 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic was declared. The threat the pandemic poses as well as associated lockdown measures created challenging times for many. This study aimed to investigate the individual and social factors associated with low mental health, particularly perceived threat and lockdown measures, and factors associated with psychological well-being, particularly sense of control. An online survey was completed by participants (N = 8,229) recruited from 79 countries. In line with pre-registered hypotheses, participants showed elevated levels of anxiety and depression worldwide. This poor mental health was predicted by perceived threat. The effect of threat on depression was further moderated by social isolation, but there was no effect of sense of control. Sense of control was low overall, and was predicted negatively by maladaptive coping, but positively by adaptive coping and the perception that the government is dealing with the outbreak. Social isolation increased with quarantine duration, but was mitigated by frequent communication with close ones. Engaging in individual actions to avoid contracting the virus was associated with higher anxiety, except when done professionally. We suggest that early lockdown of the pandemic may have had detrimental psychological effects, which may be alleviated by individual actions such as maintaining frequent social contact and adaptive coping, and by governmental actions which demonstrate support in a public health crisis. Citizens and governments can work together to adapt better to restrictive but necessary measures during the current and future pandemics.

    Abstract The ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 has forced governments to impose a lockdown, and many people have suddenly found themselves having to reduce their social relations drastically. Given the exceptional nature of similar situations, only a few studies have investigated the negative psychological effects of forced social isolation and how they can be mitigated in a real context. In the present study, we investigated whether the amount of digital communication technology use for virtual meetings (i.e., voice and video calls, online board games and multiplayer video games, or watching movies in party mode) during the lockdown promoted the perception of social support, which in itself mitigated the psychological effects of the lockdown in Italy. Data were collected in March 2020 (

    Abstract Background Older adults were more likely to be socially isolated during the COVID-19 pandemic, with risk of depression and loneliness. Behavioural Activation (BA) could feasibly maintain mental health in the face of COVID isolation. Methods We undertook a multicentre randomised controlled trial [BASIL+ ISRCTN63034289] of BA to mitigate depression and loneliness among older people. BA was offered by telephone to intervention participants (n=218). Control participants received usual care, with existing COVID wellbeing resources (n=217). Findings Participants engaged with 5.2 (SD 2.9) of 8 remote BA sessions. Adjusted mean difference (AMD) for depression (PHQ-9) at 3 months [primary outcome] was -1.65 (95% CI -2.54 to -0.75, p<0.001). There was an effect for BA on emotional loneliness at 3 months (AMD -0.37, 95% CI -0.68 to -0.06, p=0.02), but not social loneliness (AMD -0.05, 95% CI -0.33 to 0.23, p=0.72). Other secondary outcomes at 3 months were anxiety (GAD-7: AMD -0.67, 95% CI -1.43 to 0.09, p=0.08) and quality of life (SF12 mental component: AMD 1.99, 95% CI 0.22 to 3.76, p=0.03; physical component: AMD -0.50, 95% CI -2.14 to 1.10, p=0.53). BASIL+ trial results were incorporated into a living systematic review [PROSPERO CRD42021298788], and we found strong evidence of an impact of behavioural and/or cognitive strategies on depression [random effects pooled standardised mean difference -0.32, 95% CI -0.48 to -0.16, 10 studies, n=1,210 participants] and loneliness [random effects pooled standardised mean difference -0.44, 95%CI -0.64 to -0.24, 13 studies, n=1,421 participants] in the short-term (<6 months). Interpretation BA is an effective intervention that reduces depression and some aspects of loneliness in the short term. This adds to the range of strategies to improve population mental health, particularly among older adults with multiple long-term conditions. These results will be helpful to policy makers in preventing depression and loneliness beyond the pandemic. Funding NIHR RP-PG-0217-20006

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented worldwide public health concern. Characterized by rapid and high frequency human-to-human transmission, the World Health Organization has recommended implementation of public health measures, including isolation of all suspected infectious individuals for a 14-day quarantine period, while governments have introduced "social distancing" and "lock-downs" of varying severity to curtail COVID-19 spread. Recent COVID-19 research further suggests there are major sleep problems and psychological disorders (e.g., stress, anxiety, depression) associated with the reduction of movement and activities, as well as the reduced social interaction. There have been no studies examining the effect of physical activity at home during such periods of isolation. However, based on previous research, potential tactics to overcome these negative effects include home-based exercise, exergaming, dancing to music, and participation in yoga. Adults should accumulate at least 150 min of moderate-intensity and at least 75 min of vigorous-intensity of activity divided in to 5-7 sessions per week. This training volume could be reduced by 30% for children and adolescents if replaced by recess or active play in and around the home. Additionally, exercises should be adapted to the fitness level of the participant and a progressive model of intensity and training volume should be utilized, preferably monitored by telephone applications and wearable sensors.
