          Abstract

          Resumen Los trastornos de salud mental tienen impacto significativo sobre la calidad de vida de las personas, y la pandemia del COVID-19 incrementó estos problemas. El objetivo de este estudio ha sido analizar los factores de mayor riesgo asociados a la sintomatología de trastornos de salud mental en estudiantes de las universidades públicas y privadas como impacto del COVID-19. Es un estudio cuantitativo de diseño no experimental y corte transversal. Se administró el DASS- 21 a una muestra de 833 estudiantes de universidades de Paraguay, con una media de edad de 22,7 años. Para el análisis de datos se realizó una regresión logística ordinal. Los resultados hallados ponen de manifiesto que los factores de mayor riesgo asociados a depresión, ansiedad y/o estrés son: disponer de antecedentes familiares, ser estudiantes de Medicina, ser mujer y de rango etario más joven. A partir de estos hallazgos se considera necesaria la promoción de la salud mental y una intervención temprana de las personas universitarias, mediante el acompañamiento psicológico y/o psiquiátrico, en específico, en las estudiantes mujeres y estudiantes del grado de medicina.

          Abstract Mental health disorders have a significant impact on the quality of life of individuals, and the COVID-19 pandemic increased these problems. The aim of this study was to analyze the factors of greater risk associated with the symptomatology of mental health disorders in students of public and private universities as an impact of COVID-19. It is a quantitative study of non-experimental and cross- sectional design. The DASS-21 was administered to a sample of 833 students from universities in Paraguay, with a mean age of 22.7 years. An ordinal logistic regression was used for data analysis. The results showed that the risk factors associated with depression, anxiety and/or stress were: having a family history, being a medical student, being a woman and being younger. Based on these findings, it is considered necessary to promote mental health and early intervention of university students, through psychological and/or psychiatric support, specifically in female students and medical students.

          The species Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus : classifying 2019-nCoV and naming it SARS-CoV-2

          The present outbreak of a coronavirus-associated acute respiratory disease called coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is the third documented spillover of an animal coronavirus to humans in only two decades that has resulted in a major epidemic. The Coronaviridae Study Group (CSG) of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, which is responsible for developing the classification of viruses and taxon nomenclature of the family Coronaviridae, has assessed the placement of the human pathogen, tentatively named 2019-nCoV, within the Coronaviridae. Based on phylogeny, taxonomy and established practice, the CSG recognizes this virus as forming a sister clade to the prototype human and bat severe acute respiratory syndrome coronaviruses (SARS-CoVs) of the species Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus, and designates it as SARS-CoV-2. In order to facilitate communication, the CSG proposes to use the following naming convention for individual isolates: SARS-CoV-2/host/location/isolate/date. While the full spectrum of clinical manifestations associated with SARS-CoV-2 infections in humans remains to be determined, the independent zoonotic transmission of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 highlights the need for studying viruses at the species level to complement research focused on individual pathogenic viruses of immediate significance. This will improve our understanding of virus–host interactions in an ever-changing environment and enhance our preparedness for future outbreaks.

            Highlights • Methods of guiding students to effectively and appropriately regulate their emotions during public health emergencies and avoid losses caused by crisis events have become an urgent problem for colleges and universities. Therefore, we investigated and analyzed the mental health status of college students during the epidemic for the following purposes. (1) To evaluate the mental situation of college students during the epidemic; (2) to provide a theoretical basis for psychological interventions with college students; and (3) to provide a basis for the promulgation of national and governmental policies.

              Prevalence and predictors of PTSS during COVID-19 Outbreak in China Hardest-hit Areas: Gender differences matter

              Highlights • The prevalence of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) in China hardest-hit areas a month after the COVID-19 outbreak was 7%. • Hierarchical regression analysis and non-parametric test suggested that women reported significant higher PTSS in the domains of re-experiencing, negative alterations in cognition or mood, and hyper-arousal. • Participants with better sleep quality or less frequency of early awakenings reported lower PTSS.
