Peritraumatic distress was associated with living alone (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 3.05; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.41\u20138.13), using sleep remedies (AOR 3.79; 95% CI 1.41\u201310.21), and the perception of being avoided by family or friends because of work (AOR 2.69; 95% CI 1.02\u20137.11); high HOPE-Agency scores were associated with the absence of peritraumatic stress (AOR 0.40; 95% CI 0.16\u20130.96) after adjustment for age and sex.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Psycho-oncologists showed greater resilience than other healthcare workers as they are trained to help others, but also to review their own values and behavior in light of stressful events. Of interest is the association between peritraumatic distress and social isolation, real or perceived. Healthcare institutions should pay attention to the mental well-being of their employees by promoting distress screening using simple tools such as the CPDI and implementing support interventions. Psycho-oncology associations should introduce policies aimed at developing a sense of social connectedness by providing an interactive system of orientation and scientific reference.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0300891621992129","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,20]],"date-time":"2021-02-20T17:35:58Z","timestamp":1613842558000},"page":"77-85","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["COVID-19 pandemic distress among a sample of Italian psycho-oncologists: risk of isolation and loneliness"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"108","author":[{"given":"Anna","family":"Costantini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Psycho-Oncology Departmental Unit, Sant\u2019Andrea Hospital, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8045-3410","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eva","family":"Mazzotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Molecular Medicine, Sant\u2019Andrea Hospital, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samantha","family":"Serpentini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psycho-Oncology Unit, Veneto Institute of Oncology IOV-IRCCS Comprehensive Cancer Center, Padua, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Angela","family":"Piattelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UOC Oncologia\u2013Dipartimento Oncoematologico, Azienda Ospedaliera Cosenza, Cosenza, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dorella","family":"Scarponi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Paediatric Unit, Sant\u2019Orsola Hospital, Bologna University, Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gabriella","family":"De Benedetta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hematology Department, National Cancer Institute, Foundation Pascale, Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Bellani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psycho-oncology Unit, Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Insubria, Varese, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0300891621992129","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamainternmed.2020.1369"},{"key":"bibr2-0300891621992129","unstructured":"Van Hoof E.
