Abstract	Pulmonary embolismis an acute disease with chronic complications and, although it is not considered a chronic disease, it requires close follow-up. The scope of the present literature review is to decode the existing data concerning quality of life and the mental health impact of PE during the acute and long-term phases of the disease. The majority of studies reported impaired quality of life in patients with PE when compared to population norms, both in the acute phase and >3 months after PE. Quality of life improves over time, irrespectively of the measurement used. Fear of recurrences, elderly, stroke, obesity, cancer and cardiovascular comorbidities are independently associated with worse QoL at follow-up. Although disease specific instruments exist (e.g., the Pulmonary Embolism Quality of Life questionnaire), further research is required in order to develop questionnaires that may fulfil international guideline requirements. The fear of recurrences and the development of chronic symptoms, such as dyspnea or functional limitations, may further impair the mental health burden of PE patients. Mental health may be implicated by post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depressive symptoms present following the acute event. Anxiety may persist for 2 years following diagnosis and may be exaggerated by persistent dyspnea and functional limitations. Younger patients are at higher risk of anxiety and trauma symptoms while elderly patients and patients with previous cardiopulmonary disease, cancer, obesity or persistent symptoms exhibit more frequently impaired QoL. The optimal strategy for the assessment of mental health in this patient pool is not well defined in the literature. Despite mental burden being common following a PE event, current guidelines have not incorporated the assessment or management of mental health issues. Further studies are warranted to longitudinally assess the psychological burden and elucidate the optimal follow-up approach.

Abstract	Registry systems play a key role in promoting vaccination campaigns in the general population. In the present narrative review, we provide data from 12 12 countries for vaccination acceptance before the availability of COVID-19 vaccines and vaccination coverage once it is available. We selected a randomized representative sample of 12 countries from WHO regions and 194 total members by the Open Epi Random Program. We observed the results with different levels of vaccine acceptability between the studies that were performed before the availability of a vaccine against COVID-19 and the vaccination coverage after the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine. All the registry systems that were developed for the recent pandemic achieved the initial functional goals. Twelve months after the vaccination campaign has begun, varying results were reported for vaccination coverage against COVID-19 vaccines with rates as high as 98% (subjects with at least one dose of vaccine) in the United Arabic Emirates, and as low as 24% in South Africa. The United Arabic Emirates stood as the leader of the world with the highest number of vaccinations 88% fully vaccinated citizens followed by Canada with 80% fully vaccinated citizens. The available data suggest that vaccine registry systems could help increase vaccination coverage and aim in the control of future outbreaks.

Abstract	Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive and debilitating respiratory disorder. Nurses play a major role in managing the disease. This study aimed to test the effect of a brief online intervention in increasing the knowledge of COPD in a sample of nursing students in Greece. Materials and methods: The intervention entailed a combination of two ½ hour lectures focusing on the treatment and care of patients with COPD according to existing guidelines. Data were collected with a structured questionnaire specially designed for this study including questions regarding information on sociodemographic characteristics of the participants, and the Bristol COPD Knowledge Questionnaire (BCKQ) which is designed to assess the knowledge of 13 COPD-specific topics. The questionnaire was distributed three times and the one-way ANOVA test of repeated measures was applied to investigate the effect of the educational intervention by examining the periods before, immediately after, and one month after the intervention. Results: 125 nursing students participated in this study of which 13.6% were men (n=17) and 86.4% were women. According to the results of the repeated measures ANOVA test, there was a statistically significant improvement in gained knowledge about COPD. Conclusions: Short educational interventions can be effective in acquiring and cultivating nursing students concerning COPD. These short online tutorials seem to be cost-effective as they can be organized easily and with minimal financial resources.

Abstract	Due to the evolution of COVID-19,restrictive measures were implemented. The quarantine resulted in significant changes in the social, economic, and psychological status of the population; however, its long-term effects have not yet been elucidated, especially in young adults. In the present study, people aged 18-25 years were studied, in relation to their sleeping, smoking, eating, and drinking habits and their physical activity before, during, and after the implementation of quarantine. We included 540 respondents (21.2 ± 2.3 years, 62.8% female). During quarantine, from 23 March to 4 May 2020, we observed an increase in sleep hours by 1.17 ± 1.98 h (

Abstract	The compliance of dentists with good hygiene practices during the COVID-19 pandemic was essential to minimize the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 strains, and the pandemic has significantly interrupted the provision of oral health care to many individuals. We aimed to examine, in a cross-sectional study, factors affecting dental patients' compliance in primary dental health settings during the pandemic period. The present study was conducted on 300 dental patients visiting four private dental offices in the city of Larissa in Central Greece during the period October-December 2021. The patients in the study sample were of an average age of 45.79 years with a standard deviation of 15.54 years, and 58% of the sample were females. A significant proportion of the participants, 22%, reported that they would be influenced if they knew that the dentist had been ill with COVID-19 despite being fully recovered. A total of 88% of the participants reported that they would feel safe if they knew their dentist was vaccinated against COVID-19. Regarding the information received by dentists, 88% of the participants agreed that the dentist's role is important in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, and 89% of them agreed that the information they received from the dentist about the COVID-19 pandemic was sufficient. One-third of the total sample reported that COVID-19 negatively impacted keeping dental appointments, and 43% of the sample kept scheduled appointments. A total of 98% reported that the dentist followed all health protocols against COVID-19 and that their office was equipped to follow health protocols. In the present study, we observe that dentists had adequate knowledge of, attitudes towards, and practices of infection control protocols against COVID-19 during the second wave, according to patients' perceptions.

Abstract	Since the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, many issues have arisen. We report SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations, SARS-CoV-2 cases and COVID-19 outcomes in Greece during weeks 2-26 of 2021 (Alpha variant period), weeks 27-51 of 2021 (Delta variant period) and week 51 of 2021 to week 27 of 2022 (Omicron variant period). The average weekly cases were higher during the Omicron period vs. the Delta (25,354.17 cases/week) and Alpha periods (11,238.48 cases/week). The average weekly vaccinations were lower in the Omicron period (26,283.69/week) than in the Alpha and Delta period. Joinpoint regression analysis identified that the trend of SARS-CoV-2 cases increased by 88.5% during the rise of the Omicron wave in Greece. The trend of the intensive care unit (ICU) admissions related to COVID-19 decreased by 5.0% immediately after the rise of Omicron while the trend of COVID-19-related deaths decreased by 8.1% from the 5th week of the Omicron wave until the end of the study. For vaccinations, an increasing trend of 8.3% was observed in the first half of 2021 (weeks 18-25/2021), followed by a decreasing trend in weeks 26-43/2021. For the weeks before and during the early rise of Omicron (44/2021-1/2022), we identified an increasing trend of 10.7% and for weeks 2-27/2022 we observed a decreasing trend of 18.1%. Unfortunately, we do not have available data about the vaccination status of the SARS-CoV-2 cases, ICU admissions or deaths. Our findings suggest that the Omicron variant is associated with increased transmissibility and reduced morbidity and mortality despite the previous increase in the trend of SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations.

Abstract	Objective: The aim: The current Cross-Sectional study investigated the psychosocial effects on recovered Covid 19 patients in a General Hospital in Greece. It was investigated the impact of Covid 19 on levels of social support, loneliness, resilience & PTSD. Furthermore, the correlation between all the above factors was studied. Patients and methods: Materials and methods: 107 adult patients participated. The questionnaire was fulfilled after signature of consensus form. This happened after their discharge from the hospital, without exclusion of infected on previous time. The questionnaire included 5 particular sections: a) Socio-demographic characteristics, b) social support scale, c) IES Covid 19 scale, d) UCLA scale e) CD-Risc scale. In terms of statistical analysis, the comparison between two groups of quantitative variables was conducted through Student's t-test. Related to examination of relationship between two quantitative variables was used Pearson's correlation coefficient (r). The Statistical analysis package used was SPSS 22. Results: Results: The 55,1% of sample were women, married (57,9 %) and (39,3%) university graduates. Moreover, the rate of overweight was significant (39,3%). Related to psychosocial factors, observed high level of resilience (70,6), moderate level of loneliness (39,1) and 57,9% of participants showed moderate social support. At last, PTSD level as a result of Covid 19 was moderate (33,5). A strong correlation was observed between higher mental resilience and lower feelings of loneliness. Conclusion: Conclusions: The levels of determining factors of negative psychological effects, reveal the need for a preparation of political improvement policies in relation to mental health of rehabilitated persons, as well as the promotion of actions that would contribute to the development of a more effective supportive framework.
