The indirect impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer care and timely diagnosis is increasing concern. We investigated incidence, time delivery healthcare among paediatric oncology patients in Germany 2020. analysed incident cases diagnosed 0- to 17-year olds 2020 using data German Childhood Cancer Registry. Absolute numbers age-standardised incidence rates (ASR) were compared previous five years (2015–2019). Moreover, we conducted a survey with open-ended questions, gathering perceptions...
As the climate and environmental crises unfold, eco-anxiety, defined as anxiety about crises' devastating consequences for life on earth, affects mental health worldwide. Despite its importance, research eco-anxiety is currently limited by a lack of validated assessment instruments available in different languages. Recently, Hogg colleagues proposed multidimensional approach to assess eco-anxiety. Here, we aim translate original English Eco-Anxiety Scale (HEAS) into German reliability...
