Diaries of a Pandemic: Portuguese women's testimony of the first year of COVID-19 |
|
|
Older women reported a greater concern for their health and that of their loved ones, mentioned being more afraid of being infected and said they know more people that have died due to COVID-19. Older women also had fewer feelings of sadness, despair, depression and anxiety, and less difficulty in coping compared to younger women. These are some of the findings released in a new report from the Diaries of a Pandemic study. |
