Study on Exploratory Depression, Anxiety and Stress among Post Covid Elderly | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

People's daily lives were significantly affected by the COVID-19 outbreak in the first half of 2020. As a result, people have been forced to live apart, the global economy has been disrupted, and there has been limited access to medical and psychological therapy. Even though these measures are necessary to stop the virus from spreading, the negative effects on health, mental well-being, and society are obvious. In early 2020, the United States was hit by an epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which led to more severe sequelae, a higher death rate among the elderly, and a larger concern that isolation would worsen existing mental health disorders among the older population. As a result of the epidemic's widespread nature, older people were concerned about the potential for a mental health crisis among themselves, despite having lower stress reactivity than younger people. Communication with loved ones and caregivers has grown more difficult for the elderly, both at home and in nursing homes. This study was structured as a concurrent embedded mixed method research to look at sadness, anxiety, and stress in older people after they have had a heart attack. This approach seeks to embed or nest both (QUAN qual) data types at the same time, with one kind of data serving as a supporter.
