Psychological factors of post-traumatic stress caused by pandemia of covid-192

The study explored the psychological factors of post-traumatic stress disorder, which occurs as a result of stress on the background of COVID-19. An outbreak of a previously unknown disease, prolonged self-isolation, contradictory information in the media, and an economic crisis — all these are today's realities that have arisen due to the coronavirus pandemic. In such conditions, society is particularly in need of developing measures to overcome post-traumatic stress, which is preceded by the identification of its patterns, connections with certain psychological and other factors. Hypothesis: negative coping strategies and low indicators of subjective well-being are correlated with high indicators of post-traumatic stress in a sample of Chinese students. As a sample a total of 306 Chinese students were interviewed, including 161 students studying in China and 145 students studying outside their country (Russia, England, USA). Methods: “Subjective well-being” (IOW);post-traumatic stress self-assessment questionnaire (PTSD);assessment of stress management style (SCSD). A sample of students from China showed a positive correlation between passive coping strategies and stress (0.221**), the overall mood and stress index (0.356**), and subjective well-being and stress (0.191*);negative correlation between active coping strategies and the overall mood index (-0.321**). In the sample of Chinese students studying abroad, there is a positive correlation between passive coping strategies and stress (0.394**), active coping strategies and subjective well-being (0.283*), and the mood and stress index (0.178*);a negative correlation was found between active coping strategies and the overall mood of Chinese students (-0.325**). Conclusions: Chinese students studying in China and abroad do not show the se-verity of post-traumatic stress disorder and prefer active strategies for coping with stress, related to pandemia COVID-19. © 2021, Russian Academy of Sciences.

Expert consensus for diagnosis and treatment of coagulation dysfunction in COVID-19

Since December 2019, a novel type of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Wuhan led to an outbreak throughout the world. To date, there have been more than 1,260,000 COVID-19 patients, with a mortality rate of approximately 5.44%. Studies have shown that coagulation dysfunction is a major cause of death in patients with severe COVID-19. Therefore, the People's Liberation Army Professional Committee of Critical Care Medicine and Chinese Thrombosis and Hemostasis Committee grouped experts from the frontline of the Wuhan epidemic to come together and develop an expert consensus on diagnosis and treatment of coagulation dysfunction associated with severe COVID-19 infection. This consensus includes an overview of COVID-19-related coagulation dysfunction, tests for coagulation, anticoagulation therapy, replacement therapy, supportive therapy and prevention. The consensus produced 18 recommendations which are being used to guide clinical work.
