摘要

During the Italian first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, social restrictions and bad news spread daily by mass media inevitably had a huge influence on the mental state of the population. To assess how much the COVID-19 outbreak impacted the psychologic state of patients referring to our Skin Cancer Unit from March 9 to May 31, 2020, we administered to them a self-report questionnaire, the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R). To evaluate the trend of the IES-R score over time, we set a temporal cutoff of March 27 (the day with the highest number of deaths for COVID-19 in Italy during the first wave). Three hundred fifty-five patients completed the questionnaire, reporting an average IES-R score of 25.5 (+/- 16.4); 32.4% of participants reached a total IES-R score > 32. Patients who visited after March 27, 2020 reported a higher psychologic impact, since the IES-R score significantly increased from 23.6 (+/- 15.6) to 28.3 (+/- 17.2). A group reported higher scores (of participants reaching an IES-R score > 32, 57.4% were women and 33.9% were men). We gathered that, at an early stage of events of this magnitude, it could be useful to submit the IES-R questionnaire in high-risk and oncologic patients: we could potentially identify individuals at risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorders, who might be tempted to postpone necessary medical consultations. This could be also the basis for increasing targeted psychologic support in selected patients. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
