ABSTRACT
In Ecuador since 1902 the possibility of divorce is admit-ted. Statistics show that the trend of divorce is increasing, registering a divorce rate of 12.7 in 2021. The proposed objective of this research is to characterize the divorce processes executed in the first quarter of 2021 in the canton of Atacames in the province of Esmeraldas. With this, it is expected to identify the level of satisfaction of the participants in relation to this legal process, and thus determine whether there is adherence to current regula-tions and whether constitutional rights are complied with in the processing of divorce proceedings. It is concluded that the divorces show similarity with the data collected and published in the country in terms of age groups, pre-vious marital status, but differ in the grounds used, due to the impact of covid-19 on human and family relationships during isolation. There is satisfaction in the fulfillment of constitutional rights. In general, the respondents showed a higher degree of satisfaction with the legal services re-ceived through notaries than through the courts, with a satisfaction index of 0.50 and 0.369 respectively, stating that the notarial service has fulfilled their expectations.
ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic is associated with negative mental outcomes in the early postpartum period. Objective: To assess the long-term postpartum mental health of women infected with COVID-19 during pregnancy. Methods: Cross-sectional study in 101 pregnant women who gave birth in a tertiary center during the COVID-19 pandemic, between March 31, 2020, and November 30, 2021. The pregnant women were classified into 2 groups as COVID-19 positive (study group, n=52) and COVID-19 negative (control group, n=49). Sociodemographic and obstetric data were collected by questionnaire in the early (≤6 months) and late (6-18 months) postpartum periods. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) scores were calculated by analysis of the participants' data. Results: The mean BDI score and the rate of depression (BDI score >13) in COVID-19 positive patients were higher in the early postpartum period than in the late postpartum period. According to multivariate linear regression analysis, there was a significant correlation between the BDI score of COVID-19 patients and educational level and employment status. According to the same analysis, there was a significant correlation between the BAI score of COVID-19 patients and spousal support, marital relationship, and birth-related diseases. We found that COVID-19 positive and COVID-19 negative patients had similar BDI and BAI scores in the early (≤6 months) and late (6-18 months) postpartum periods. In addition, rates of anxiety and depression were similar in both groups at the same postpartum periods. Conclusion: In our study, COVID-19 infection in pregnancy had no significant additional impact on long-term postpartum maternal mental health.
ABSTRACT
Background: Due to unemployment, the prolonged lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic caused panic and deepened poverty, especially among lower-class and marginal people. The related financial crises led to harmful practices such as the early marriage of adolescent girls, which deteriorated these girl's mental state. Aims: This study attempted to assess the prevalence of mental health problems among early married girls and determine the associated predictors of the growing mental health burden. Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Dumuria Upazila in the Khulna district of Bangladesh. Data were collected purposively from 304 girls who were married off during the COVID-19 pandemic, this was carried out between 22 July and 31 August 2022 by administering a semi-structured interview schedule, with mental health measured by the depression, anxiety, and stress scale 21 (DASS 21). The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics (version 25), and multiple linear regression was executed in order to predict mental health problems among early married girls. Results: The findings show that the overall prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among early married girls during the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh was 60.9% (95% CI: 0.554-0.663), 74.7% (95% CI: 0.698-0.796), and 23.7% (95% CI: 0.189-0.285). The prevalence was relatively higher among girls from the Sanatan (Hindu) religion and younger girls than among Muslim and older girls, respectively. The multiple linear regressions indicate that age, age at marriage, duration of the marriage, spousal occupation, intimate partner violence (IPV), and subjective happiness were the critical predictors of mental health problems among early married girls. Conclusion: Early marriage, along with various adverse outcomes, i.e., IPV, maladjustment, and poor subjective happiness, has resulted in heightened mental health problems for young girls. Policymakers should implement coercive measures to prevent early marriage, especially during social, economic, political, and health crises; in addition, more research is recommended in order to explore the mechanisms that make early married girls psychologically vulnerable and thus formulate protective and preventive programs for addressing such vulnerabilities.
ABSTRACT
This book contains a compilation of papers presented at the International Psychological Applications Conference and Trends (InPACT) 2022, organized by the World Institute for Advanced Research and Science (W.I.A.R.S.), held in Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal, from 23 to 25 of April 2022. Modern psychology offers a large range of scientific fields where it can be applied. The goal of understanding individuals and groups (mental functions and behavioral standpoints), from this academic and practical scientific discipline, aims ultimately to benefit society. The International Conference seeks to provide some answers and explore the several areas within the Psychology field, new developments in studies and proposals for future scientific projects. The goal is to offer a worldwide connection between psychologists, researchers and lecturers, from a wide range of academic fields, interested in exploring and giving their contribution in psychological issues. We take pride in having been able to connect and bring together academics, scholars, practitioners and others interested in a field that is fertile in new perspectives, ideas and knowledge. We counted on an extensive variety of contributors and presenters, which can supplement the view of the human essence and behavior, showing the impact of their different personal, academic and cultural experiences. This is, certainly, one of the reasons there are several nationalities and cultures represented, inspiring multi-disciplinary collaborative links, fomenting intellectual encounters and development. InPACT 2022 received 364 submissions, from more than 35 different countries all over the world, reviewed by a double-blind process. Submissions were prepared to take the form of Oral Presentations, Posters and Virtual Presentations. 121 submissions (overall, 33% acceptance rate) were accepted for presentation at the conference. The Conference addresses different categories inside Applied Psychology area and papers fit broadly into one of the named themes and sub-themes. This book contains the results of the different researches conducted by authors who focused on what they are passionate about: to study and develop research in areas related to Psychology and its applications. It includes an extensive variety of contributors and presenters that are hereby sharing with us their different personal, academic and cultural experiences.

ABSTRACT
The past few years have seen an emergence of populist leaders around the world, who have not only accrued but also maintained support despite rampant criticism, governance failures, and the ongoing COVID pandemic. The Philippines' Rodrigo Duterte is the best illustration of this trend, with approval ratings rarely dipping below 80 percent. What explains his high levels of robust public support? We argue that Duterte is an ethnopopulist who uses ethnic appeals in combination with insider vs. outsider rhetoric to garner and maintain public support. Moreover, we argue that ethnic affiliation is a main driver of support for Duterte, and more important than alternative factors such as age, education, gender, or urban vs. rural divides. We provide evidence of Duterte's marriage of ethnic and populist appeals, then evaluate whether ethnicity predicts support for Duterte, using 15 rounds of nationally representative public opinion data. Identifying with a non-Tagalog ethnicity (like Duterte) leads to an 8 percent increase in approval for Duterte, significantly larger than any other explanatory factor. Among Duterte supporters, a non-Tagalog ethnicity is associated with 19 percent increase in strong versus mild support. Ethnicity is the only positive and significant result, suggesting that it strongly explains why Duterte's support remains robust. Alternative explanations, such as social desirability bias and alternative policy considerations, do not explain our results.
ABSTRACT
Respiratory therapists (RTs) are enduring novel COVID-19-related challenges, compacting upon existing stressors in the profession, including a lack of adequate personal protective equipment and increased exposure to death and dying. Here, RTs are at an increased risk for a host of negative psychological impacts, such as anxiety, depression, PTSD or moral injury. Critically, little is known about the mental health and experiences of RTs during the COVID-19 pandemic. With the mental health of this vital workforce at stake, it is essential to understand the impact that serving on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic has had on Canadian RTs. RTs from across Canada were invited to complete an online survey and virtual interview about their experiences during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey included basic demographic information (e.g., sex, age, marital status) and questionnaires about mental health and functioning. The virtual interview allowed RTs to share and discuss challenges and associated impacts experienced during the pandemic as well as their opinions on relevant supports. Two-hundred and forty-two (N = 242) RTs from across Canada participated in this study. While data analysis remains ongoing, preliminary analyses reveal that RTs are suffering from the provision of perceived futile care and standing in for family at the bedside of dying COVID-19 patients. Symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, moral distress and moral injury are relevant concerns among RTs. COVID-19 restrictions have prevented RTs from engaging in usual coping strategies (e.g., going to the gym, going out with friends and family). Furthermore, a quarter of our sample reported that they were considering leaving their position due to moral distress, with these individuals endorsing greater symptoms of all negative psychological outcomes included in this study than their counterparts who did not report considering leaving their position. Providing care during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted Canadian RTs' mental health. Adequate resources and interventions are essential to support RTs during and beyond the pandemic and to ensure the continuity of our healthcare system.
ABSTRACT
Counseling suicide survivors can result in occupational hazards for clinicians involved with this population. This dissertation aimed to investigate how clinicians who work with familial survivors of suicide experience well-being outside of the treatment room. The purpose of this study was to investigate how these particular clinicians experience and practice well-being in their own time, outside of the treatment context. The research question sought to answer was how clinicians who counsel familial suicide survivors experience well-being. The case study focused on psychologists, marriage and family therapists, licensed professional counselors, and clinical social workers. The methodology applied in this study was qualitative case study. The study was conducted amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, thus prohibiting the interview process from being conducted in the clinicians' natural setting. The researcher modified the design to allow video interviews. The sample consisted of nine clinicians who met the inclusion criteria participated in the exploration process. The results of this study were the emergence of patterns in the within-case analysis of the data collected constituted efforts for well-being. Inductive reasoning discussed in the clinicians' responses described their understanding of well-being related to self-efficacy and prevention of work-related vicarious exposures. The cross-case analysis provided five major themes: (a) competence in the clinician role, (b) developing protective factors and strategies to avoid secondary trauma, (c) grounded in a spiritual foundation, (d) using peer support, and (e) intentional self-care. The themes concluded findings consistent with the PERMA well-being theory and that the practice for well-being impacts how clinicians provide effective treatment, balance work and home life, and maintain career longevity.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: One of the manifestations of family development is pregnancy planning, where this method is applied 0-42 days after childbirth. Post-partum contraception is an effort to avoid pregnancy by using contraceptive medicine from 42 days to 84 days after childbirth. PURPOSE: This research aims to analyze the attitudes of fertile couples who use contraceptive devices after childbirth during the COVID-19 pandemic and the factors that influence it. METHOD: This research uses a quantitative method approach. The sampling technique was random sampling with proportional sampling so that 280 respondents were obtained from 3 regencies/cities in West Java with high fertility rates and low post-partum contraceptive participation rates. Quantitative data analysis used univariate, bivariate, and multivariate methods. RESULT: The results showed that the final model of the analysis of the most determining factors for post-partum contraception during a pandemic were family support, healthcare staff support, counselling with healthcare staff, attitudes, and age at first marriage. CONCLUSION: Fertile couples with the highest amount of family support are more likely to use post-partum contraceptive devices during COVID-19. The results of this study can be used as material for consideration in making decisions about post-partum contraception, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2022 Festival had been promoted as the 'largest Queer Arts programme in the history of the festival', with arts events (dance, theatre, music, cabaret, comedy, live art, film, drag performances, ballroom, circus, craft, literary events and public art exhibitions) making up ninety out of the Festival's 180 events.1 Auckland Pride framed its decision to cancel the majority of its programming as part of an ethics of care for the rainbow community, deeming that it would be 'irresponsible' to proceed during an Omicron outbreak.2 While Auckland Pride's 2022 Festival had lost the game of live event production pandemic roulette, the size and strength of its planned queer arts programme reflects the prominence of queer performance in Aotearoa's contemporary cultural landscape. Over My Dead Body: UNINVITED by Jason Te Mete and Everything After by Shane Bosher ask us to attend to Aotearoa's queer history, by bringing visibility to the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on Aotearoa's rainbow community;Yang/ Young/Ш by Sherry Zhang and Nuanzhi Zheng foregrounds the space of high school and the Chinese family, using the domestic landscape to explore intersectional politics through a narrative of triumph and pride that challenges the limitations of Western notions of 'coming-out'. The only play that Brooks had written at that point that he deemed a 'gay' play was Queen, a stream-of-con- sciousness monologue 'about the young gay guy experience'.13 Queen's April 2013 season at the Basement Theatre coincided with the New Zealand Parliament passing the Marriage Equality Bill. James Wenley quoted the words of queer MP Tamati Coffey in his review of Queen: 'This bill will validate my place in society ... it moves mountains for future New Zealanders, who will live in a time where it's normal to be able to love whoever they want to'.14 As recently as 2012, a major plot point of Benjamin Cleaver's musical Day After Night, directed by Wenley and performed at Basement Theatre, was the inability of the central gay couple to become legally married and adopt a baby together.
ABSTRACT
A Descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted to assess the awareness and preference of students towards Covid-19 vaccine, University of Calabar. A total of 358 students from the Department of Nursing Science, University of Calabar were sampled through simple random sampling technique. The instrument of data collection was a structured questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed using frequencies, percentage, charts and means. The hypothesis was tested for significance at 0.05 level of significance, using the Chi-square (X2) analysis. The findings of the study revealed that 51.1% of the study participants expressed high awareness towards COVID-19 vaccine whereas 48.9% demonstrated low awareness. 54.7% exhibited positive preference toward the covid-19 vaccination, while 45.3% showed negative preference. There is no statistical influence between age and knowledge of covid-19 vaccine among students in University of Calabar .There is no statistical influence between year of study and attitude of students towards covid19 vaccine in University of Calabar. Findings reveal that study participants were aware of covid-19 vaccine perhaps could not utilize because of fear of complications. Copyright © 2022 Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the impact of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) lockdown on the sexual lives of couples who live in Turkiye. Material(s) and Method(s): One hundred ninety-three sexually active participants. While sexual functions were evaluated with the international erectile function index-15 in men and the female sexual function index in women, Hamilton anxiety scale (HAM) was used to measure anxiety level. Married people filled out the Marriage adjustment test (MAT) questionnaire. The effects of the quarantine period on the relationship were evaluated with a questionnaire created specifically for this study. Result(s): Sexual improvement and worsening were observed in 8.8%, and 15%, respectively. It did not change for 76.2%. Sexually deteriorated subjects had a higher HAM score (p=0.003). The MAT score was lower in sexually deteriorated subjects (p=0.004). The rate of sexual worsening was higher in women than in men (28.6% vs. 12%, p=0.02). Women's HAM scores were higher (p=0.002). The MAT score was also found to be higher in women (p=0.0037). 58% of sexually deteriorated participants did not feel safe at home during the COVID-19 period, whereas all of those sexually improved participants felt safe at home. Conclusion(s): During the COVID-19 lockdown period, sexual deterioration was detected in 15% of sexually active people. This worsening was associated with the HAM score. Additionally, it was revealed that feeling safe at home is related to sexual life. While the relationship between sexually worsening and the MAT score was significant in men, it was revealed that the level of anxiety in women affected sexual life more significantly. © Copyright 2022 by the Association of Urological Surgery / Journal of Urological Surgery published by Galenos Publishing House.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: As COVID-19 continues to impact lives and livelihoods around the world, women and girls are disproportionately affected. Crisis situations and related response measures, such as lockdowns, school closures, and travel restrictions, often exacerbate the adversities and human rights violations faced by adolescent girls. We conducted a rapid review to synthesise evidence on the impact of public health emergencies (PHEs) related to gender-based inequalities among adolescent girls. METHODS: We systematically searched five major databases. Records were imported into the online screening tool Rayyan, and 10% of the records were triple screened for eligibility. We included qualitative, mixed-methods, and quantitative studies that assessed the relationship between PHEs and any of the following outcomes: (1) gender-based violence, (2) early/forced marriage, and (3) sexual and reproductive health. Due to the heterogeneity of included study designs, no meta-analysis was performed, and studies were summarised narratively. FINDINGS: Out the initial 6004 articles, 11 studies met our eligibility criteria. Five of these assessed the impact of natural disasters and six were focused on consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Seven studies focused on the impact of PHEs on gender-based violence, three focused on sexual and reproductive health, and only one study looked at early marriage. The main impacts highlighted by the studies included (1) increases in physical, psychological, and sexual abuse, (2) increase in the occurrence of teenage pregnancy, (3) poor menstruation hygiene management, and (4) occurrence of early marriages. Mechanisms underlying these impacts were PHE-specific response strategies like home confinement, closure of schools, the worsening of families' financial situation such as the inability to pay for school fees or day-to-day living costs, and the disempowerment of and increased workloads for adolescent girls. CONCLUSION: Although evidence on the impact of COVID-19 on gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health, and especially forced or early marriage of adolescent girls is limited, results from studies on other PHEs indicate that during crises, these detrimental outcomes are exacerbated. Findings from our review have important implications for policies and programs providing life skills training, financial literacy training, credit support, and safe spaces for adolescent girls.

This paper explores the situation faced by women in the family atmosphere during the pandemic-imposed lockdown and the inability on the part of the State and its machinery to provide access to instant remedies against domestic violence as envisaged under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence (PWDV) Act, 2005. The concept of parens patriae (parent of people) has proved to be in existence only nominally during the contingency. Many of the well framed statutory protective mechanisms including the constitutional machinery of the Judiciary have failed to provide a helping hand to the tortured women everywhere. The social isolation strategy adopted to tackle the Covid-19 epidemic has accelerated the age-old shadow of domestic violence. A doctrinal study is undertaken to analyse the existing legislative and judicial measures against domestic violence, especially in the context of rising domestic violence during the pandemic. The objective of the paper is to identify the victimisation faced by women during the pandemic and the difficulties they face in accessing the redressal mechanisms stipulated under the PWDV Act. To reach the victims of domestic violence, and to free and save them from the clutches of respondents1 with the help of legislations is not sufficient. To deal with such an unexpected new normal scenario, it is necessary to find an alternative mechanism whereby an instant remedy, more than which is perceived under the PWDV Act, could be provided to victims of domestic violence. The methodology adopted for this paper is basically doctrinal. The legal framework at the national and international levels to curb the menace of domestic violence is brought in for the structuring of rights and obligations. An analysis of the present Covid-19 pandemic based on the reports available offline and online is also undertaken. Judicial decisions form the building bricks for the establishment of constitutional rights and its affirmation. Hence a systematic analysis of Supreme Court decisions is also undertaken to complete the research paper.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Stress among physician parents is still poorly studied, especially during the SARS-COV-2 pandemic. Objective(s): To describe the stress of being both a doctor and a parent during COVID-19 epidemic. Method(s): It was a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study, carried out on google drive in March 2021, and relating to 93 Tunisian medical parents. We used a questionnaire containing the parents' personal and professional data as well as the perceived stress scale (PSS10). Result(s): The majority of parents (94.7%) were women. The average age was 34.43 years old. The average age of marriage was 29.6 years for men and 25.4 years for women. The majority of parents (89.4%) had one or two children and 70.2% were satisfied with their relationship with their children. On another side, 71.3% of doctors had to provide on duty services in the hospital, with 44.1% providing 3-4 on-calls per month, while 69% were providing on duty services in the COVID units. The average PSS score was 22.6. The distribution of scores indicated medium and high stress level in respectively 84.9% and 14% of parents. Furthermore, the PSS score was negatively correlated with the marriage age (p=0.046, r=-0.2). On the other hand, no association was observed with the children number nor with the satisfaction of the relationship with his child. Conclusion(s): It follows from our study that stress among physician parents is at a fairlyhighlevel. Managing this stress during a pandemic is not easy and requires the activation of several defense mechanisms.
ABSTRACT
Most states experienced declines in marriages during the pandemic, with variation across states. Given that marriages to same-sex couples make up a small share of total marriages, these trends are overwhelmingly representative of marriages of different-sex couples. To test if the decline observed among marriages of different-sex couples is also observed among marriages of same-sex couples, the authors calculated ratios (2020 marriage count divided by 2019 marriage count) for 13 states, disaggregating marriages of same- and different-sex couples. The 13 states selected were the only states in which same-sex marriage administrative data were available. The results reveal disparate effects of the pandemic on marriage counts for same-sex and different-sex couples. For 11 of the states examined, marriages of same-sex couples either did not decline or declined less than marriages of different-sex couples. Further investigation is warranted as more state-level data on same-sex marriage become available.
ABSTRACT
Objectives-1.To assess the level of anxiety regarding Covid-19 vaccination among adults. 2. To associate the level of anxiety among adults with selected demographic variables. Methodology-Non experimental descriptive research design is used for this study. It was conducted over 100 adults by using Non-Probability convenient sampling technique. Results-Assessment was done by using rating scale to Level of Anxiety. The finding reveals that 41% of adults had mild and moderate anxiety, 10% severe anxiety, 8% of the adults had no anxiety. Minimum anxiety score was 25 and maximum anxiety score was 75.Mean anxiety score with SD of 43.06+/-10.98. Mean % anxiety score with SD of 57.41+/-14.64. Conclusion-Analysis reveals that there is association of level of anxiety score with age, gender, marital status, occupation, suffer from covid-19 vaccine among adults and none of the other demographic variables were associated with level of anxiety score.

ABSTRACT
Background: As a health policy for COVID-19, the confinement's implementation transformed the home beyond family life into the workplace and school. By having the activities in the same space, the boundaries of the work and family spheres were blurred, generating conflicts to balance them in life. Since the sexual division of labor still prevails, women are the ones who are primarily in charge of unpaid domestic work, and those with rearing children are at greater risk of facing this kind of conflict. In this context, we analyze the work-family conciliation (WFC) based on gender and whether having children. Aims: In this context, we analyze the work-family conciliation (WFC) based on gender and whether having children. Method & procedures: The study has a mixed approach. We applied 578 online questionnaires and 50 interviews with Mexican workers. Results & discussion: Amid the accelerated shift to virtual work, the professional and the private roles have blurred. The daily dynamics changed because of how (e.g., where, when, and with what frequency) and who was involved. Manifesting itself in two dimensions: paid work and family life, which involves unpaid work. Paid work on-site ceased to be the norm;only 15.51% of workers were on-site daily. Instead, reduced hours, staggered attendance, and forced breaks without pay or dismissals were implemented, impacting the income of 40.31% of families. For women with children, the risk of unemployment increased three times. Likewise, there was an accelerated transfer to the home office and greater exposure to screens (83.53%). Online work broke into personal life. This new context resulted in the entanglement of duties, grueling work hours, unfavorable institutional policies to reconcile work-family, and hostility from coworkers to parents using the flexible or online work, all of which triggered stress and frustration in workers, mainly fathers/mothers. Unpaid work also increased for parents because institutions and support networks for the care and education of children became unavailable. Conclusion: Without planning it, the COVID-19 confinement triggered a social experiment that allows us to see the difficulty that WFC implies in the abrupt and massive implementation of neoliberal policies. With the withdrawal of a large part of the social support, the individuals and their families received the blows of dismissals or salary reductions. During this period, workers supported education and work at home, besides being responsible for maintaining families' mental and physical health. The workers absorbed the costs of online work;having the necessary devices for home-office and home-schooling, preparing spaces in their homes, paying for internet and electricity, and training themselves to use new technology. The findings show that, during confinement, the intersectionality of being a woman, a mother, and being in conditions of poverty increases the vulnerability to aspire to the WFC. Although the flexibility of working hours and the home office are considered WFC policies, this study has made it clear that neither of them is viable if: 1) Lacks support networks for child care and education;2) Implemented with high control systems, such as increasing verification reports;3) Workers are asked to be "always available" to respond to working duties;4) The sexual division of labor persists, diminishing women's professional development, rest, and health;5) Lack of transversal and gender-sensitive implementation of WFC policies, and when they exist, are authorized according to managers' subjectivity. This study finds that, during the COVID-19 lockdown, the detriment of economic, emotional, physical, and relational have been very high for individuals and their families. The increased workloads originated stress for the workers, which subverted the possibility of reaching the WFC (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
