Methods: Cross-sectional survey of nursing staff (n=195) in Brandenburg nursing homes between August and December 2020 regarding their psychosocial stress at work.
Results: Concern about having infected oneself, family and/or friends, or care recipients with Covid-19 is associated with increased expression of burnout symptoms (b=0,200, t(155)=2,777, p=0,006).
Conclusion: Increased experience of burnout symptoms due to concerns of risk of infection with Covid-19 in the workplace indicates a need for comprehensive support measures as well as sustainable approaches to managing psychosocial stress for geriatric caregivers.

Improving Mental Health and Well-Being Through the Paradym App: Quantitative Study of Real-World Data.
JMIR Form Res

Paradym, London, United Kingdom.
Background: With growing evidence suggesting that levels of emotional well-being have been decreasing globally over the past few years, demand for easily accessible, convenient, and affordable well-being and mental health support has increased. Although mental health apps designed to tackle this demand by targeting diagnosed conditions have been shown to be beneficial, less research has focused on apps aiming to improve emotional well-being. There is also a dearth of research on well-being apps structured around users' lived experiences and emotional patterns and a lack of integration of real-world evidence of app usage.
