Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the social and medical role of psychologists has become to help societies adapt to unexpected and sudden life changes. The need to switch from personal to remote contacts in the work environment, combining professional duties with private life and the growing number of psychopathological symptoms in patients became a source of overload, the level of which was compared in studies even to doctors treating COVID-19. The aim is to analyze the subjective mental state of the surveyed psychologists in 5 waves of the pandemic in Poland. Material and methods: Data was collected for 5 waves of the pandemic in Poland. The online questionnaire was placed on the website of the Polish Psychiatric Association, and the number of respondents was decreasing (I — 341, II — 123, III — 118, IV — 67, V — 61). On the basis of the obtained data, trends in subjective mental state were studied. Results: A study in a group of psychologists showed a trend of increasing subjective stress, depressed mood and lowered energy levels after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, up to the highest levels in the third wave. Subsequently, the trend in these areas decreased. Stress and depressed mood accompanied the respondents at a disturbingly high level also in 5 th wave. Deterioration of various aspects of sleep and an increase in the tendency to psychogenic overeating took place during the periods of greatest stress during successive waves with a clear tendency to withdraw after the third wave of SARS-CoV-2. Conclusions: The subjective mental state of psychologists was deteriorating depending on the increase in the number of SARS-CoV-2 infections in Poland until the third wave. Then it improved, although in the 5 th wave, high percentages in the area of stress and depressed mood were still worrying, and hence it was close to professional burnout. Further research is needed.
导语:在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,心理学家的社会和医疗角色已经成为帮助社会适应意外和突然的生活变化。在工作环境中需要从个人联系转向远程联系,将专业职责与私人生活结合起来,以及患者中越来越多的精神病理症状,这些都成为超负荷的来源,研究甚至将其水平与治疗COVID-19的医生进行了比较。目的是分析波兰五波疫情中被调查心理学家的主观心理状态。材料和方法:收集了波兰5波大流行的数据。在线问卷被放置在波兰精神病学协会的网站上,回答者的数量正在减少(I - 341, II - 123, III - 118, IV - 67, V - 61)。在所得数据的基础上,研究了主观心理状态的变化趋势。结果:一项针对心理学家的研究显示,新冠肺炎疫情爆发后,人们的主观压力增加、情绪低落、精力下降,在第三波疫情中达到最高水平。随后,这些地区的趋势有所下降。在第五波中,压力和抑郁情绪也以令人不安的高水平伴随着被调查者。在连续几波的压力最大时期,睡眠各方面的恶化和心因性暴饮暴食的倾向增加,在第三波SARS-CoV-2之后有明显的消退趋势。结论:随着波兰SARS-CoV-2感染人数的增加,心理学家的主观心理状态逐渐恶化,直至第三波。然后有所改善,尽管在第五次浪潮中,压力和抑郁情绪领域的高比例仍然令人担忧,因此接近职业倦怠。需要进一步的研究。

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic had a huge impact on people's lives, becoming a factor affecting the health and well-being of individuals. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between the experiences and feelings accompanying medical students in Poland during the pandemic and the occurrence of anxiety, depression and excessive daytime sleepiness. Material and methods: For this purpose, a questionnaire was designed on the "LimeSurvey" portal. The questionnaire contained 4 parts: questions about personal experiences of the pandemic, Beck depression test, GAD-7 generalized anxiety questionnaire and ESS sleepiness scale. The results collected from I-VI year medical students from 20 medical universities in Poland were processed using the statistical program "Statistica." 2339 correctly completed questionnaires were obtained. Results: It turned out that 22.6% of the respondents had experienced the death of a loved one during the pandemic, and among 29.9% of the students there were severe cases of the disease in the family. More than 49% of the respondents felt anxiety about the possibility of their loved ones contracting COVID. 19% of respondents had temporarily lost contact with loved ones. The responses significantly correlated with the severity of depression as measured by the Beck scale, increased anxiety on the GAD-7 test and increased sleepiness on the ESS scale. Conclusions: The results of the study indicate the negative impact of the pandemic on the mental health of medical students. For this reason, consideration should be given to providing easy access to specialized psychological help for the academic community.

According to research studies the deficiency of tryptophan is associated with depression and suicidal behaviours. The objective of this study is to identify the impact of tryptophan on psychological portrait in patients hospitalized psychiatrically. This pilot study included 59 participants, aged 19–65, psychiatrically hospitalized. The Adjective Checklist (ACL) was used to identify personality traits of the subjects. Blood specimens were collected and measured for tryptophan, N-formylkynurenine and kynurenine. The Spearman’s rho was used to analyse the relation between psychological picture and biochemical measures. The conducted statistical analysis revealed several significant relationships between personality traits and fluorescence of tryptophan and N-formylkynurenine. No significant correlations between tryptophan levels and suicidality or diagnosis were disclosed. Outcomes are discussed in terms of potential influence of genetic factors, both on personality and tryptophan levels.
