EFFECTS OF COVID-19 "QUARANTINE" (Air pollution has decreased…

- - - - The quarantine will also cause an increase in the demand for more healthcare services. This is related to the potential of more developed comorbidities. This pandemic is going to cause severe stress, lack of mobility, insomnia, and drug abuse which all have cardiovascular consequences. Therefore, the public will indeed need more health care services. Future nurses can make a huge impact by keeping this in mind! Perhaps when implementing health promotion the community. ---Noelle Amin---
- - - - The quarantine has manifested in the EMS sector in the way of reduced call volume of non-covid related textincidents. This may linger on past the control on covid. Individuals may still be wary of calling for legitimate reasons due to the fear of covid at their local emergency departments. While many calls could go by the wayside unnoticed, there are still medical calls that necessitate an emergency department visit. -Caleb Mancha
      - The emotional toll that the nurses have to go through is agonizing while they hold an iPad so that a loved one who is quarantined can say goodbye to their family member. The nurses are caring for these loved ones and become involved at one of the most emotional moments. This is something they will live with forever. -Logan Moyer
- - - - A decrease in a person's financial situation may be severe enough for them to have to do thing's to keep their families afloat. Crime rates have dropped since the COVID-19 outbreak however, as of recent weeks the number of robberies in San Diego have increased and we are also starting to see an increase in domestic violence. There is an expectation for crime rates to slowly start building back up therefore, the need for crime monitoring will be essential.-Stephie Ramos
- - - - This whole situation reminds me of those living in the northern region of the country or continent who is experiencing cabin fever. There seems to be some resemblance in my opinion of the quarantine and cabin fever and the psychological impact it has on humans. Some of the psychological effects are: PTSD, anxiety, stress, depression, suicide, and anger. Recently in the news, a fifteen year old girl committed suicide per her mother because of the social isolation from the quarantine. Also, suicides and other distresses can increase due to many people losing their jobs and homes. I spoke to a young lady who had a concern of feeding her family because of food shortages along with her hours being drastically cut which she could not support her family with. In addition, domestic violence are inspected to increase because of the stressors that are accompanied with the quarantine. This is why there should be constant awareness of organizations that can provide telephone or web counseling for those who may be experiences anger or suicidal ideation during this time. - Gilda H.
