ABSTRACT
The aim of the research. To conduct a cluster analysis of the assessment profile of students who participated in work of medical organisations providing care to COVID-19 patients to develop recommendations for its correction. Material and methods. The study was carried out at the premises of Prof. V.F. Voino-Yasenetsky Krasnoyarsk State Medical University (KrasSMU). The study group was constituted by 66 students in 3-6 years of study of the Medical and the Paediatric faculties of the University who took part in activities of medical organisations providing healthcare to patients with COVID-19. The items were presented in the form of binary questions and ranking scales. The analysis of qualitative attributes was carried out in the form of relative values with calculation of the standard error of the proportion. For ranking and nonparametric quantitative characteristics, the mode, median, centiles (Me [P25;P75]) and other nonparametric criteria for comparative statistics and communication statistics were used. For segmentation of respondents according to some criteria, depending on the answers, the method "two-step cluster analysis" and the method of "decision tree" were used. Results. The results of the study indicate a high motivational component related to practical medical activity of medical students during the difficult epidemiological situation since 94.1% of the respondents declared the readiness to support practical healthcare. Almost half of the surveyed 47.0% of students included in cluster 2, in contrast to students of clusters 1 and 3, are characterised by a high opinion on the degree of their contribution to the struggle against the COVID-19 epidemic and a high level of knowledge and skills, rating themselves at about 9.0 points out of 10 possible. In addition, the results of the study indicate an association between the level of students' self-esteem in regard to their contribution to the fight against COVID-19 with the level of the students' self-esteem of knowledge and skills and the duration of work in a medical organisation. Conclusion. The analysis performed has made it possible to formulate guidelines for support of medical students' professional attitudes within the framework of practice-oriented education, including distance learning.Copyright © 2021, Krasnoyarsk State Medical University.

ABSTRACT
PurposeThe study aims to investigate the impact of workplace ostracism (WO) and fear of the COVID-19 pandemic on the family life of restaurant employees. This research is based on the conservation of resources (COR) theory and work-family interface model to understand the theoretical underpinnings of mistreatment in the food sector during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThe study utilized a survey with a structured questionnaire to collect time-lagged data from 238 restaurant employees in the central region of Punjab province in Pakistan. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS tool with modern-day techniques like bootstrapping, process macro and SmartPLS.FindingsThe study reveals that perceived stress levels of the employees increase due to ostracism, leading to work-family conflict. Furthermore, the study found that employees who fear COVID-19 are less stressed by ostracism.Originality/valueThe study's significant contribution lies in demonstrating that the impact of ostracism in the workplace is quite different from what was expected. The results have shown that ostracism can reduce the perceived stress levels of employees, leading to a decrease in work-family conflict, especially in the presence of fear of COVID-19.
ABSTRACT
As the Covid-19 pandemic has swept across the world, the wearing of medical facemasks has become a hot topic on social media. In China, the relevant discourses are entangled with codes of medical science, national self-esteem and appropriated modernity. These discourses can be dated back to the narrative established by Dr Wu Lien-teh, the great fighter in the Manchurian plagues of 1910–1911 and 1920–1921. This paper reveals that Wu and his colleagues used different strategies when displaying to the Western world their achievements in the anti-plague battle and when proving the effectiveness of the Western medical and hygienic system to Chinese people. Wu and his colleagues used metonymies, analogues and metaphors on or related to medical facemasks to illustrate the possibility of building a modernised nation with sovereignty. Because the construction of a sanitary system in China has always been labelled as a patriotic movement (Rogaski, Ruth. 2004. Hygienic Modernity: Meanings of Health and Disease in Treaty-Port China. Berkeley: University of California Press, 285–298), the wearing of medical facemasks has constituted an important part of the narrative of nationalism and hygienic modernity. This discourse continues to play a significant role in today's campaign against the coronavirus.
ABSTRACT
Each month brings new fears and new reasons to worry about the future. In a world marked by permanent change, by the occurrence of the unthinkable generating a continuous feeling of insecurity, having confidence has become increasingly difficult: confidence in the future, confidence in our environments, in our organisations, confidence in our contemporaries, confidence in our collaborators and confidence in our ability to face a difficult tomorrow. Confidence and fear are inseparable and they are like the opposite sides of the same coin. Unable to look at both sides of a coin at the same time, we must constantly fight our fears with confidence. Therefore, more than ever, trust is an essential element to obtain team security and it only takes one person feeling insecure for the overall confidence of the team to be eroded. This feeling of low self-confidence is particularly true for the younger generation of veterinary surgeons and specialized veterinary assistants. This can result in difficulties that are often unexpressed and can lead professionals to abandon these vocations of "passion" since they do not feel up to the expectations of clients and managers alike. Building the self-confidence of the people concerned has become a professional priority. The origin of the feeling of lack of self-confidence is collective. Therefore, its treatment is collective. Since each member has the capacity to fight against their fears, he or she can play their part and increase security in the team.
ABSTRACT
Background: The Covid-19 pandemic radically changed the way of studying, suddenly we went from fa-ce-to-face learning to a virtual one, in many cases without digital media, without properly managing plat-forms, adding anxiety to contagion, fear of death, economic instability, the uncertainty that it will happen, brings with it changes in academic work, thus influencing academic performance. Aim(s): Relate anxiety, self-esteem and study habits with academic performance in Peruvian university students. Methos: Quantitative, longitudinal, correlational and prospective study with a non-probabilistic sample of 260 students from the 1st cycle of the USS period 2020-II, virtual questionnaires were applied to measure anxiety (Beck's Anxiety Inventory), self-esteem (Stanley's Self-esteem Inventory Coopersmith), study habits (CASM-85 Study Habits Inventory) and academic performance (Promotional Proceedings). Result(s): 40% of the students present a minimum level of anxiety, 50.4% present high average self-esteem and 25.8% have very positive study habits. Conclusion(s): There is a relationship between anxiety and academic performance with statistical significan-ce;while self-esteem, study habits and academic performance were not statistically significant.Copyright © 2023, Ediciones Avances S.L..

ABSTRACT
The earthquake has long-lasting various mental and behavioral effects on children and adolescents. The aim of this review was to discuss the nature and extent of psychiatric problems, management options, and the process of organizing psychological interventions for affected children. Individuals show a range of physically, emotionally, and cognitively healthy responses that can help them cope with the aftermath of a disaster. Psychiatric symptoms such as acute stress reactions, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety disorder, increased risk of suicide, sleep disorders, substance use disorders, and psychotic disorders may develop in some children. Comorbidities and sub-clinical syndromes are also common. There are many risk factors and protective factors in the development of mental disorders. Close follow-up of children at high risk and interventions for psychosocial support may prevent the development of mental disorders. It is very important to start the intervention at the earliest period. The psychological impacts of young disaster victims can be addressed by skilled local volunteers, medical professionals, and educators in primary health care programs. With the nation's overall social and economic recovery, children can recover more quickly from traumatic experiences.Copyright © 2023, Duzce University Medical School. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT
Bu çalışma işletme ve sosyal bilimler öğrencilerinin kültürel boyutlar ve akademik yeterlilikleri arasındaki ilişkide benlik saygısının düzenleyici rolünü incelemektedir. Bu araştırma Covid-19 pandemisi sürecinde üniversitede eğitim gören çoğunlukla işletme ve sosyal bilimler öğrencilerinin belli kültürel boyutlardan (güç aralığı, belirsizlik ve bireyselcilik/toplumsalcılık) hayata bakış açılarını ve başarı durumlarını belirleyen benlik saygısı ve akademik öz yeterlilikleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Sayısal yöntem ve ilişkisel tasarımla yüksek eğitim gören 215 öğrenciden toplanan veriler incelenerek yapılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları öğrencilerin güç aralığının düşük olduğunu, belirsizliklerle baş edemediklerini ve kuralcı olduklarını göstermiştir. Bireyselcilik ve toplumsalcılık boyutu açısından da arada kaldıkları anlaşılmaktadır. Benlik saygısı ve akademik yeterlilik açısından öğrencilerin kendilerine güvendiği anlaşılmaktadır. Benlik saygısı tek başına akademik öz yeterliliği büyük ölçüde etkilemekte ve cinsiyete göre farklılık göstermemektedir. Akademik öz yeterlilik kavramının algılanmasında kız öğrenciler lehine;kültürel boyutlar algılamasında ise erkek öğrencilerin lehine bir fark bulunmuştur. Ancak, bu sonuç kız öğrencilerin eşitsizliğe daha az katlandıklarını ve belirsizle mücadelede de erkek öğrencilere kıyasla nispeten daha başarılı olduklarını işaret etmektedir. Araştırma bulgularının mezuniyetlerinden sonra iş başvurusu yaptıklarında işletmelerin insan kaynakları uzmanlarına da yol gösterebileceği düşünülmüştür.Alternate :The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between self-esteem and academic self-efficacy, which determines the perspective of life and success of business administration and social sciences students studying at universities during the Covid-19 pandemic, from Hofstede's three cultural dimensions (power gap, uncertainty and individualism/collectivism). This study was carried out by examining the data collected from 215 university students. The research was done by using quantitative method and relational design. The research findings showed that the students' power-distance, and uncertainty range were low, consequently they could not cope with uncertainties and they were prescriptive. It is understood that they are in between in terms of individualism and socialism. However, it shows that students are self-confident in terms of self-esteem and academic self-efficacy. The concept of self-esteem strongly affects academic self-efficacy and does not differ by gender. While the perception of the concept of academic self-efficacy was resulted in favor of female student, in terms of cultural dimensions, a difference was found in favor of male students. This finding indicates that while female students tolerate inequality less and are relatively more successful in dealing with uncertainty compared to male students. It is thought that the research findings can guide the human resources specialists of the enterprises when they apply for a job after their graduation.

ABSTRACT
The most prevalent mental health challenges in teenagers are generalized anxiety disorder and depression. The (COVID-19) pandemic has added an extra negative effect on children's mental health.(1) This study focuses on the investigation of a specific form of adolescent anxiety, i.e. test anxiety (TA). TA in adolescents is associated with mental and behavioral comorbidities and may have adverse effects on students' academic performance as well as their physiological and psychological well-being. Therefore, this study examines the impact of family communication and body image dissatisfaction on adolescents' test anxiety in Greece. According to the results of the Structural Equation Model that was examined, family communication presented a minimal negative effect on students' TA. However, the main finding of this study was that body image dissatisfaction had an important direct and minimal indirect effect on students' TA. The indirect effect was via the physical activity hours that acted as a mediator between body image dissatisfaction and TA. As a result, examining body image concerns and enhancing family communication may be crucial in assisting adolescents at risk for severe TA symptoms. Implications of the findings are discussed.(1)
ABSTRACT
Purpose: This study aims at examining the impacts of manufacture's social identity on their tax attitudes, and how these effects on firm's tax compliance, and used a qualitative method Theoretical framework: Two techniques are distinguished in Devos' (2014) Compliance Theory: the Economic Deterrence Approach and the Psychological Approach. Research by Scott & Grasmick (1998) as cited in Trivedi, Shehata & Lynn (2003) examined that even if economic elements are crucial for evaluating compliance behavior, they are insufficient to fully explain the level of compliance. Design/methodology/approach: The sample of the study are 101 respondents. This study uses quantitative methods to collect, process, and analyze data to draw empirical conclusions. Findings: The data from 101 respondents reported that membership and identity affect their firm's tax compliance, but not private collective self-esteem and public collective self-esteem. The result shows that dependence on the community and stakeholder views on corporate identity are considered important by companies in order to increase public trust. Meanwhile, private and public collective self-esteem is no longer the key. It implies that the former is more likely to have a higher cost of tax collection to represent tax compliance, which may restrict funds for their public sector and adversely affects its functionality. This is consistent with the previous findings that identity socially impacted tax compliance, instead of self-esteem. Research, Practical & Social implications: Research results for manufacturing managers related to strengthening social identity factors in order to improve overall corporate tax compliance, such as joining tax communities, professional memberships, and the like. By having a clear social identity, managers have channels to discuss tax issues and find solutions to tax problems more easily. Originality/value: The tax compliance issues findings related to self esteem approach having new model for DGT's to optimize tax income strategy during pandemic. © 2023 AOS-Estratagia and Inovacao.

ABSTRACT
Background and aim: In this prospective study, it was aimed to evaluate effects of obesity on Covid-19 anxiety and role of self-esteem on women in Turkish population. Method(s): Obese (n = 184) and non-obese women (n = 219) who applied to our clinic in the first six months of 2020 were included in the study. The women included in the study were divided into two groups as having Body Mass Index (BMI) 30 or more obese according to the WHO criteria. Demographic information form, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Covid-19 Anxiety Scale was used for data collection. Result(s): Most of the obese participants were housewives, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). Family obesity history was more common at obese group with statistically significant difference (p<0.05). Rosenberg self-esteem were lower and Covid-19 Anxiety levels were higher in obese patients with statistically significant differences (p<0.05). obesity, working status and family history were significantly correlated with Covid-19 anxiety (p<0.01). According to GLM model, only obesity had positive contribution to Covid-19 anxiety at multivariate level (p<0.05). The level of Covid-19 anxiety is higher in obese women, and the increase in self-esteem levels decreases this anxiety level. Conclusion(s): In order to reduce this burden, the news and content that indicate obesity as a risk factor in publications about the pandemic should be planned considering the self-esteem of these individuals.Copyright © Mattioli 1885.
ABSTRACT
Many researchers attribute factors of identity, acculturation, sexual orientation, and substance use and other maladaptive behaviors as potential risk factors associated with increased mental illnesses reported by college students (Castillo & Schwartz, 2013;Wyatt & Oswalt, 2013). [...]the COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated mental health problems in college students (Lopez Steinmetz et al., 2021;Son et al., 2020), with 71% experiencing more stress, anxiety, problems with concentration, and worry about a loved one's health as well as their own (Son et al., 2020). Approximately 75% of first-year college students with any mental illness do not seek help (Bruffaerts et al, 2019). [...]there is a growing need to address possible factors contributing to reduced help seeking and to identify vulnerable groups in college populations (Castillo & Schwartz, 2013). Men's decreased treatment utilization may be in part due to shame, stigma, and parental and peer norms toward seeking out mental health services (Seehuus et al, 2021). Given the impact that gender-related stressors play in the rise of mental illness in college students, this study aims to bridge the gap in mental health clinicians' and researchers' understanding of how diverse gender identities influence mental health-related outcomes and mental illness. [...]this study addresses two research questions: (1) Do gender differences (i.e., between cisgender men, cisgender women, and TGNC individuals) exist among college students in the prevalence of mental illness, utilization of psychological services, and mental health-related outcomes (i.e., psychological distress, stress, resilience, overall health, and loneliness)? (2) Do mental health-related variables differentially predict mental illness diagnoses among college students? METHOD Participants and Data Collection The ACHA (2020) National College Health Assessment-Ill Fall 2020 (NCHA-III) is a survey that gathers information regarding students' health.
ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the prevalence of anxiety disorders, making it a population health concern in the United States and worldwide. The growing need for effective prevention and treatment of anxiety coincides with a deficit of mental health providers and physicians. With the healthcare system currently overwhelmed and the slow training pipeline of new providers, the gap between patient demand and treatment providers will not be closed in the next decade. There is a growing need for evidence-based treatments for anxiety disorders that can increase access to care while addressing the underlying mechanisms of anxiety. Digital therapeutics is a fast-developing field that can be one such solutions provided in ?one-to-many? format. It can be used in conjunction with individual therapy, as well as independently, depending on the severity of patients? symptoms. This quantitative dissertation study aimed to investigate the mechanism of reducing anxiety in the digital application (app) Unwinding Anxiety Program and its impact on emotion regulation, self-representation (self-esteem), and the degree of attachment security in adults. The study used a single-case experimental design to assess the effect size of the intervention in these domains. Five study participants completed the program. The results of the study demonstrated the efficacy of the intervention for reducing anxiety among participants with medium to large effect size and decrease of attachment-related anxiety for all participants with small effect size. All study participants demonstrated improved emotion regulation with moderate effect size for the sample. Self-esteem scores improved for some participants, while decreased for others. These findings support the existing evidence for the efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions for anxiety demonstrating the key role of emotion regulation in the mechanism of change. This study brings the novelty of examining the impact of digital therapeutic intervention on attachment security. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
ABSTRACT
Smartphone usage in Lebanon is increasing constantly. Lebanese population especially university students were described to be at a higher risk of smartphone addiction compared to the general population. To our knowledge there has been no study in the literature that investigated the mediating effect of self-esteem when assessing personality traits and smartphone addiction in young adults. The aim of our study was to assess factors associated with smartphone addiction and investigate the mediating role of self-esteem in the association between smartphone addiction and personality traits. A cross-sectional study was carried out between August and September 2020, during the lockdown period imposed by the government for the COVID-19 pandemic and that coincides with the summer season vacation for most Lebanese, using a sample of community-dwelling participants aged 18 to 29 years. The snowball technique was followed for participants' recruitment. The results showed that the mean age of the participants was 22.25 ± 2.87 years, with 70.9% females. The results showed that 216 (46.9%) of the participants had smartphone addiction. Higher negative emotionality (Beta = 0.17) was significantly associated with more smartphone addiction, whereas higher self-esteem (Beta = -0.37) and household crowding index (Beta = -1.58) were significantly associated with less smartphone addiction. Self-esteem mediated the association between negative emotionality and smartphone addiction. Lebanese young adults were found to be at a high risk of smartphone addiction. These results might serve as a first step towards implementing preventive measures to reduce smartphone addiction. Improving face to face communication, as well as setting specific time for cell phone usage might help reduce the development of addictive behaviors.
ABSTRACT
Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic had triggered a serious crisis that had brought stress and challenges to primary school principals, as well as having a dramatic impact on their mental health. This study explored the relationship between cognitive fusion and depression among primary school principals during COVID-19, as well as the mediating role of psychological vulnerability and the moderation role of self-esteem in this process. Patients and Methods: Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ), Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), psychological vulnerability scale, and self-esteem scale were used to measure 279 rural primary school principals. The data were analyzed by adopting Pearson's correlations and moderated mediation analysis. Results: The results revealed that: (1) There were significant relationships among cognitive fusion, depression, psychological vulnerability and self-esteem. (2) The results showed that psychological vulnerability mediated the link between cognitive fusion and depression. (3) Self-esteem moderated the associations between cognitive fusion and depression, and also moderated the associations between cognitive fusion and psychological vulnerability. The relationship between cognitive fusion and depression was weaker for primary school principals with high levels of self-esteem. In contrast, the relationship between cognitive fusion and psychological vulnerability was stronger for primary school principals with low levels of self-esteem. Conclusion: Psychological vulnerability played a mediating role in the relationship between cognitive fusion and depression. Moreover, self-esteem moderated the effect of cognitive fusion on depression, and also the effect of cognitive fusion on psychological vulnerability.
ABSTRACT
This study examined attachment style and its relationship with sexual self-esteem during COVID-19 confinement. COVID-19 has caused changes in the way couples interact intimately and sexually around the world; some have found improvements and others an increase in difficulties. This article uses a retrospective pre post approach to evaluate 120 men and 89 women who were part of a couple at the time of confinement in Spain and completed an online survey. The sample was obtained during the de-escalation months, from May 9th until July 1st, 2020. Through an online survey we collected the data using the Spanish version of the Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR-S) to measure attachment and the Brief Sexuality Scale (SS) to measure aspects related to the participants sexuality (sexual self-esteem, sexual depression, and sexual preoccupation), as well as a scale designed post hoc on other aspects related to sexuality. Overall, the t-test results suggest that confinement had a negative effect on sexuality because sexual depression (SD) had a small increased in our sample. Multiple regression analysis showed that FSI, and ANXS attachment style were able to predict sexual depression during confinement. The results also showed a decrease in the strength of the relationship between sexual self-esteem (SSE) and attachment styles during confinement. However, sexual preoccupation (SP) and sexual self-esteem (SSE) remained relatively stable. Based on the results obtained, we conclude that there is an association between an increase in participants' sexual depression and being confined due to COVID-19.
ABSTRACT
The advent of Covid-19 changed how education is carried out at the tertiary level in Ghana. Despite the lunch of emergency remote teaching at the University of Ghana in 2020, little research has been done on students' experiences. Using a qualitative descriptive design, this study explored students' experiences regarding the benefits, challenges, and the influence of emergency remote teaching on their self-esteem, academic confidence, and performance. 20 students were interviewed, and their responses were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results showed students had both positive and negative experiences which had diverse impacts on their self-esteem, academic confidence, and performance. Positive experiences resulted from the confidence to participate in class without intimidation, improved IT literacy, self-esteem and academic performance, less distraction and leniency from lecturers. Negative experiences bothered on problems with the learning management system, internet challenges, laziness on the part of students, high cost of internet data, unconducive learning environment, comprehension difficulties, increased workload and cheating by students. The findings underscore the need for university management to consider students' psychological wellbeing and needs when implementing new educational systems and further put measures in place to improve emergency remote teaching and curb academic dishonesty in order to improve tertiary education in Ghana amidst Covid-19.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this article is to explore whether COVID-19 aroused an awareness of death, inflamed death anxiety, and affected mental health and to assess the degree that meaning in life played in the relationship between death anxiety and general mental health. A total of 197 participants were recruited using convenience sampling and were divided into an experimental group (n = 100) and a control group (n = 97). All participants completed the Death Anxiety Scale (DA), the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ), and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). Death anxiety had a significant positive predictive effect on general mental health and meaning in life. When death anxiety and meaning in life were included in the regression equation, death anxiety still had a significant positive predictive effect on general mental health, and meaning in life had a significant positive predictive effect on general mental health. These results indicated that meaning in life played a partially mediating role in the influence of death anxiety on general mental health. In the COVID-19 context, death information was found to arouse awareness of death and death anxiety, which adversely affected mental health, and it was also confirmed that meaning in life played a partially mediating role between death anxiety and general mental health, which suggested that mental health problems could be alleviated in the future by helping people find meaning and value in their lives and cope more positively with death.
ABSTRACT
This study seeks to describe the perception of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in Chilean adolescents, identifying family coexistence, support networks that remained active and the impact of the pandemic on personal life and psychological well-being. To this end, a descriptive observational study was designed with a sample of 350 Chilean adolescents that was accessed by key agents in social networks, to whom an instruments validated by expert judges in congruence with the objectives set out in the study was applied. Among the main results, the good relationship with the family, the important role of teachers in the relationship with the school , and the maintenace of networks of friends;stand out as well as the impact on their mental health when their social life is interrupted. These results indicate the relevance of the social dimension as a protective factor of the quality of life and the psycological well-being of adolescents, in addition to the little visibility that has been had of this age group as it is not prioritized in health policies, which challenges socializing agents such as the family and the school to be attentive to the emotional and mental health manifestations that may occur at this time.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this research was to investigate the mediating role of time attitudes in the relationship between self-esteem and resilience in high school students. High school students' self-esteem, time attitude, and resilience have been researched comparatively. The research was carried out with a quantitative research design and survey method. Participants, who were selected using a convenience sampling method, were high school students. The 1,932 participants consisted of students in the following grade distribution: 793 ninth grade (248 male, 545 female);365 tenth grade (78 male, 257 female);350 eleventh grade (90 male, 260 female);and 434 twelfth grade (130 male, 324 female). Participants were selected from secondary education institutions in Sakarya and Kocaeli during COVID-19 from January to May 2021. Data were collected using tools such as the Two Factored Self-Esteem Scale, Adolescent Time Attitude Scale, and Ego Resilience Scale. The data was analyzed with correlation analysis and regression-based mediation analysis to investigate the relationship between self-esteem, time attitude and resilience. The SPSS 22 package program was used to analyze the data. After analyzing the data, it has been concluded that the time attitude in adolescents indeed has a mediating role in the relationship between self-esteem and resilience. The results of the research will make important contributions to the related literature.Copyright © 2023, Pharmaceutical Association of Serbia. All rights reserved.
