Suicides of Patients with SARS-CoV-2 in Hospital: Case Albania, 2021

Fear of infection, social isolation, uncertainty and economic difficulties influenced the appearance of symptoms of depression, anxietyand suicidal acts. Some studies conducted in countries affected by the pandemic indicated a worsening of the patients’ mental state, posttraumatic stress symptoms, fear of a possible infection, insomnia, an increase in narcotic substances abuse, and a number of persons had seriously considered the suicide. In Albania, since August 2020, five patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 committed suicide by jumping off the hospital’s windows or floors. In four cases, the patients suffered an immediate death, whereas one case died a day later.Currently, the human resources dedicated to mental health in hospitals are few in numbers, compared to the countries of the region. Under the circumstances of hospitalization for COVID-19 patients, the psychological support has been reduced due to the limited number of psychologists and the lack of a strategy for psychosocial support by the responsible institutions. An increase in mental health human resourcesin COVID-19 hospitals is suggested as well among other key recommendations.

One of them is the constructivist method widely used. The focus of constructivist theory is oriented towards the pupil. It presupposes that the environment of learning should provide view points or different interpretations of reality, building knowledge, wealth content, and activities that are based on experience. Constructivism is focused on lore and knowledge and not in mechanic imitation of subject content. It is based on a persuasion that the person builds his lore based on his experience, mental structure and faiths used for interpretation of objects and phenomena. The mind is used like an instrument in the interpretation of the event, goals and prospects because they are personal and individual. The main goal of the survey is the coverage and elaboration of some theoretical and practical views, reported from a considered number of research examples about constructivist methods and an actual analysis of Albanian educational system. As a research methodology we have exploited quantitative data. National and international surveys are used, dedicated, to the evaluation of Albanian Pre-university educational system. In the last decade Albania, started adopting some reforms in the teaching methodology. Some experts in educational field 234 published some textbooks and manuals about constructivist methods. Prior to these reforms in the field of teaching, policy making bodies approved ordinance and legal drafts in adjustment of this methodology. But even after these reforms, the Albanian educational system is behind the regional education system in regards to the achievements of pupils. The lack of specific training of educational staff, non-adaptation of educational software, inappropriate physical infrastructure of schools, the lack of technical equipments hamper the practicability of this method. Another aspect is insufficient financial budget dedicated to education. Albanian school is also guided and managed by leaders and teachers that follow traditional methods in teaching and administration.
