RÉSUMÉ
The present study aimed to examine the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on infertile patients. We adopted a comparison design and searched articles published from 1 September 2016 to 31 December 2019 as the control group, while articles published from 1 January 2020 to 31 April 2023 were treated as the pandemic group. Specifically, Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, PsycArticle, CNKI and PsycINFO were searched to identify potential eligible records. Risk of bias was assessed, and random-effects meta-analyses were conducted to estimate the prevalence of specific mental health problems. Forty studies with a total of 19,480 participants were included in the analysis. The pooled prevalence of anxiety in the pandemic group was significantly higher than that in the control group. The depression and stress prevalence in the pandemic group was higher than that in the control group, yet did not reach statistical significance. A subgroup analysis revealed region differences with developed countries exhibiting higher rates of anxiety and depression in the pandemic group, but the result was the opposite in the control group. Physiological factors, psychological factors and social factors correlated with infertile patients' mental health were identified. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative impact on infertile patients' mental health, emphasizing the importance of ways to mitigate the risks during the pandemic.
RÉSUMÉ
Present study aimed to explore adolescent depression trajectory during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of parental style on it. Five-wave data of adolescent sample in China mainland were collected, and the group-based trajectory modeling was used to examine the theory constructs. Findings showed that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, there are four distinct patterns of change in depression symptoms over time, namely, resistance (72.3 %), recovery (15.3 %), increasing (6.7 %), chronic (5.7 %). Differences about the impact of parental style and grade on depression trajectory were found. Findings contribute to the knowledge of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on depression trajectory among general population, and parental style and grade should be considered in adolescent psychological intervention in the pandemic.
