ABSTRACT
To analyze the psychological experience of close contacts with COVID-19 during the centralized isolation medical observation (centralized isolation for short) period, 17 close contacts of COVID-19 who received medical isolation observation at designated locations in a city of China were selected by purposive sampling using qualitative study methods, and the interviewees were interviewed by full-coverage structured telephone. By analyzing the obtained data and summarizing the themes, it was found that the psychological status of the COVID-19 close contacts during the centralized isolation period could be classified into three themes: obvious negative emotions, somatization of psychological problems, and demand for social support. During the epidemic, when close contacts were quarantined as high-risk groups, they often had complex and difficult psychological experiences. Relevant departments should actively carry out online guidance channels and offline knowledge dissemination, actively conduct psychological interventions for close contacts, assist them to develop life plans to enrich the life of the centralized isolation period. At the same time, relevant departments should do a good job in logistics and life support services, create a comfortable isolated living environment, and effectively relieve the negative emotions of close contacts of COVID-19 during centralized isolation through a variety of positive and effective measures to ensure physical and mental health.

ABSTRACT
@#Background: COVID-19 has the potential to affect the mental health of health care workers (HCWs). It is known that HCWs who serve as front-liners during the COVID-19 pandemic experience stress and have the fear of contracting the infection. Little is known of how being a positive contact affects HCWs. Objective: We examined the experience of HCWs who were quarantined following a close unprotected contact with a COVID-19 positive colleague and explore the psychological impact especially as the timing of the quarantine coincided with the Eid (annual Muslim festival) celebration in Malaysia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional on-line questionnaire study, involving HCWs exposed to a COVID-19 positive colleague in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre, a teaching hospital. Data on demographics, levels of depression, anxiety and stress using a validated depression, anxiety, and stress scale (DASS-21) questionnaire, aspects of quarantine, wearing of masks, hand hygiene practice and swab experience were collected. Results: Twenty-two HCWs participated. Eighteen (81.8%) were between 30-39 years and 17 (77.3%) were women. Majority 19 (86.3%) were Malays. There were twelve (54.5%) medical officers, 5 (22.7%) specialists and 5(22.7%) allied health staff. Eighteen out of 22 (81.8%) felt they were able to do home quarantine adequately. All tested negative with a mean (Standard Deviation) hour of contact of 2.56±2.38 hours. Eighteen reported their biggest concern was infecting their families. Conclusion: HCWs undergoing contact swabbing and quarantine are vulnerable to depression, anxiety and stress. The ability of the HCW to adequately home quarantine should not be taken for granted. Psychological support should be offered to HCWs who are positive contacts.
ABSTRACT
A procura dos homens por profissionais do sexo é ainda um fato significativo em muitos contextos sociais, econômicos e culturais. Assim, entendendo que a prostituição tem seu lugar na história das relações humanas, essa pesquisa teve como objetivo a análise das vivências psicológicas dos homens na busca das profissionais do sexo. Para a pesquisa escolheu-se o método fenomenológico-empírico de A. Giorgi e D. Souza (2010), com alterações propostas por Goto e Feijóo (2016), que consistiu em um primeiro momento, encontrar os significados essenciais vividos na experiências, para em seguida, reconhecer e distinguir as vivências psicológicas que estão na base desses significados. Participaram sete homens maiores de 18 anos, clientes dessas profissionais. As entrevistas foram pautadas em uma pergunta orientadora. Na análise das experiências foi encontrado como significado essencial a satisfação sexual, assim como outros significados mas de ordem particular. Após a delimitação dos significados foi analisado passo-a-passo como esses significados são psicologicamente vividos a partir de suas estruturas e condições psíquicas, recorrendo às descrições psicológico-fenomenológicas de Husserl, Stein e von Hildebrand. Concluiu-se que a experiência psicológica dos homens constitui-se essencialmente como uma vivência corpórea-afetiva, que surge impulsivamente de maneira natural e espontânea, e que se busca manter o predomínio de um estado afetivo de prazer, gozo e satisfação, mas tendo como fim um nexo intersubjetivo.
