Summary
Waiting for procedures delayed by COVID-19 may cause anxiety and related adverse consequences.
This study from Gagliardi et al. looked at the research on the mental health impact of waiting and patient-centred mitigation strategies that could be applied in the COVID-19 context.
Findings revealed patient-centred strategies to alleviate the mental health impact of waiting for procedures. Ongoing research should explore how to optimize the impact of those strategies for diverse patients and caregivers, particularly in the COVID-19 context.
