ABSTRACT
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented international health crisis, which has invoked massive consequence on healthcare workers' mental health and wellbeing. This study aimed to detect the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and burnout among house officers amid the COVID-19 pandemic in Egypt to assess the effect of this pandemic on their mental health. Results: A total of 254 house officers were included in this study, and their responses were analyzed. Anxiety, burnout, and depression were reported among 35%, 32%, and 22% of participants, respectively. Multivariate regression analysis found that higher levels of overall worry were associated with anxiety, but not depression or burnout. Having a good personal protective equipment attitude was a significant predictor of both anxiety and burnout. Participants with depression had a higher likelihood of also having a burnout, but a lower likelihood of having anxiety. Overall worry related to the pandemic, depression, and clinical burnout status were all significantly associated with anxiety. Conclusions: The study found that anxiety, depression, and burnout are highly prevalent among house officers, who are newly graduated medical professionals. These findings suggest the need for specific programs to address the wellbeing of these individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. © 2023, The Author(s).
ABSTRACT
The SARS-CoV-2 epidemic has caused numerous deaths and injuries globally, striking all communities. Till this moment, a health hazard will be continued for years. The outbreak is a chance for the polity to reevaluate the use of housing, transportation, social housing in helping individuals, especially susceptible people, and extra green public spaces to support a healthier atmosphere that will define how differences outline the exposure, susceptibility;besides, the risk and consequence of infectious diseases. Increasing community and environmental vulnerabilities will be accompanied by COVID-19 that drastically increased the infection risk and death. During COVID-19, emerging technology such as drones and smart transportation can play a crucial role in fighting this virus. Besides, there is an impact of climate change on the spreading of COVID-19. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
ABSTRACT
The current epidemic disease is a Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or CoronaVirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has produced many morbidities and mortality worldwide and conquer all countries globally, spreading till this moment and cause a health hazard for the coming years. Recent technologies such as robotics, sensor networks and autonomous vehicles (AV) have been identified as a new strategy that would make an essential. To fight against COVID-19. This technology provides remote safety for healthcare works and professionals, patients and can provide faster reporting, virtual visits, results and more. The environment is an essential constituent of both human and animal health. The COVID-19 epidemic has massive influences on most human actions, besides the economy and health care organizations.

The environmental profits are temporary, but this can positively affect the environment and technology use like teleconferencing and telehealth.
