摘要

目的:了解埃及老年人对猴痘爆发的认识、担忧和心理健康情况。背景:由于 COVID-19 大流行,猴痘疾病受到更多关注:在 COVID-19 大流行的背景下,猴痘病毒疾病正受到越来越多的关注。猴痘病毒的爆发引起了全球关注,尤其是对患有合并症的老年人。自然灾害和地方病会影响老年人的心理健康。研究设计采用横断面描述性设计。方法:使用四种工具从三个门诊诊所连续抽样调查 254 名老年人。结果74.0%的老年研究参与者不知道猴痘。性别、受教育程度、居住地、对感染猴痘的担忧和精神压力是预测猴痘知晓率的因素(p p = .038),受教育程度高(p = .001)、知晓率低和精神压力大(两者的p = .001)。结论对猴痘的认识与担忧和精神压力有关。老年学护士在联系老年人、提供护理和教育以减少担忧、保护思想和情感、提高生活质量方面发挥着重要作用。建立国家战略规划和危机预防框架以减轻这一群体的心理压力并防止心理健康问题恶化至关重要。

Monkeypox Emergence Post-COVID: Insight into Egyptian Older Adult's Awareness, Concern, and Mental Health.

Aim: To identify Egyptian older adults' awareness, concerns, and mental health about the monkeypox outbreak. Background: In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, monkeypox disease is receiving more attention. The monkeypox virus outbreak has posed a global concern, especially to older adults with comorbidities. Natural disasters, and endemic affect older persons' mental health. Design: A cross-sectional descriptive design was followed. Methods: 254 older adults were recruited from three outpatient clinics using consecutive sampling using four tools. Results: 74.0% of older study participants were unaware of monkeypox. Gender, level of education, residence, worry about contracting monkeypox infection, and mental distress are predictors of awareness about monkeypox (p < .001). Worry of contracting monkeypox infection was common among female participants (p = .038), highly educated (p = .001), who had a low level of awareness and high level of mental distress (p = .001 for both). Conclusion: Awareness of monkeypox was associated with worry and mental distress. Gerontological nurses have a vital role in contacting older adults and providing care and education that decreases worry and preserves minds and feelings, improving their quality of life. Establishing a national strategic planning and crisis prevention framework to alleviate psychological distress and prevent mental health issues from deteriorating in this group is crucial.

期刊介绍: Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine (GGM) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed open access journal where scholars from a variety of disciplines present their work focusing on the psychological, behavioral, social, and biological aspects of aging, and public health services and research related to aging. The journal addresses a wide variety of topics related to health services research in gerontology and geriatrics. GGM seeks to be one of the world’s premier Open Access outlets for gerontological academic research. As such, GGM does not limit content due to page budgets or thematic significance. Papers will be subjected to rigorous peer review but will be selected solely on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication. By virtue of not restricting papers to a narrow discipline, GGM facilitates the discovery of the connections between papers.
