Our Elderly's Mental Health in Times of COVID-19
Galea M*, Scerri J, Grech P, Sammut A, Calleja-Bitar D, Dimech Sant S
The present COVID-19 pandemic threatens humanity is various ways, especially due to the unpredictable nature of its course and progress. The impact of COVID-19 on mental health varies from place to place, but it is widely felt all over. Moreover, the impact is more pronounced on vulnerable groups within every population. In this study, we focus on the pandemic impact on the elderly’s mental health in Malta. Data gathered from ongoing surveys from Richmond Foundation Malta, found in the public domain, highlight the increased anxiety and stress felt by the elderly in view of this pandemic, less trust in respondents’ perception in the handling of the local COVID-19 situation, an increase in subjects’ outward reach, while also a decrease in respondents’ own self-care. A number of practical suggestions were provided.
