  • The lack of sufficient mental health resources put the Chinese people with COVID-19 and their relatives in a difficult situation when they were unable to benefit from resources.

    “The lack of sufficient mental health resources put the Chinese people with COVID-19 and their relatives in a difficult situation when they were unable to benefit from resources (27).”

    From A proposed framework based on literature review of online contextual mental health services to enhance wellbeing and address psychopathology during covid-19 (2020) · cites this paper as [27]

    The paper reports too few mental-health professionals to meet patients’ needs and says poor coordination can prevent affected patients from receiving timely care. It also says online counselling was available to patients and family members, so it does not support the broader assertion that both groups were unable to benefit from mental-health resources.

  • Evidence suggests that COVID-19 has psychosocial consequences for patients.

  • High daily rates of new cases and deaths and bombardment of information can influence the development of mood disorders.

    “In addition, the high daily rates of new cases and deaths together with the bombardment of information to which citizens are submitted through the media can influence the development of mood disorders (Duan and Zhu, 2020; Gao et al., 2020).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
