Current scientific data shows that the COVID-19 pandemic has significant negative impacts on the mental health of the worldwide population. As part of our COVID-19 accompanying research, we focus on examining the impact of the pandemic on mental well-being, working conditions, resilience of medical staff, and patients. Our goal is to reveal the influence of different factors on mental health and resilience and to uncover possible connections in order to specifically support healthcare workers and patients psychologically and psychotherapeutically in times of pandemic.

Thus, resilience factors and the associated experience of dignity of the target group will be investigated. Furthermore, the challenges of the organizational structure for the care of people with dementia after an acute admission as well as Sars-CoV-2-related changes in the relevant structural characteristics will be evaluated.?
