Impact on mental health, disease management, and socioeconomic modifications in hematological patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy

CONCLUSION: During the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, hematological patients had elevated levels of depression, anxiety, and stress compared with the general population. The delay in their treatment and employment status played a role in their mental health outcomes. These findings emphasize the importance of further research to gain deeper insight into the long-term psychological effects and explore effective strategies for managing mental health in similar crises.PMID:37693118 | PMC:PMC10483981 | DOI:10.1177/20406207231190683
