Abstract:
This research aimed to understand the effect of stress during the pandemic on marital quality in Bali. This research used a quantitative approach. Subjects involved in this research were 242 people who had been married for at least five years, with intact family conditions, and lived in Denpasar City, Bali. The instruments in this research were the COVID Stress Scale from Taylor (2020) and the Marital Quality scale arranged by Nurhayati (2017). The validity of this research used content validity by expert judgment. Reliability in the scale of this research used the Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient. The COVID stress variable has a reliability of 0.934, while the variable of marital quality has a reliability of 0.889. As for the data analysis, descriptive analysis and simple linear regression analysis were used. Based on the data analysis, the regression coefficient was 0.028 and sig. 0.307, with the value of R square = 0.004. The results showed that COVID stress does not affect the marital quality in Bali.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper examined predictors of COVID-19 stressors among 316 custodial grandmothers raising school-aged grandchildren using regression. Grandmothers, who were participants in two nationwide behavioral RCTs, completed an online questionnaire in Spring 2020. Predictors included grandmother demographics, depressive symptoms, perceived caregiving stress and reward, stress management strategies, and grandchild factors. Outcomes included grandmothers’ stress related to using bad coping habits (r2=.24), grandchildren’s remote learning(r2=.39), household conflict (r2=.29), COVID-19 fear and uncertainty (r2=.28), and finances(r2=.24). Regression results indicated that grandmothers’ pre-existing depressive symptoms predicted all outcomes except remote learning stress. Higher caregiving stress was associated with all outcomes, except concerns about using bad coping habits. Grandmothers with less perceived access to care reported greater concern about bad coping habits and remote learning stress, while minority grandmothers reported more financial stress and COVID-19 fear and uncertainty. Findings suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic has compounded the stress experienced by already burdened custodial grandmothers.

Abstract:
Background: In 2019, a new coronavirus broke out worldwide and caused a pandemic. It has been shown that this patient group requires more time for supervision and nursing than other patient groups who are cared for in intensive care units. Nurses who have cared for patients with coronavirus have shown psychological and physical strain.Purpose: to shed light on nurses' experiences of caring for patients with Covid-19 in intensive care unitsMethod: Qualitative inductive approach based on unprocessed material in the form of descriptive blogs from the internet. Data were analyzed according to a manifest content analysis.Results: The results revealed an overall theme: "Being nurses in the front line". Furthermore, three categories and seven subcategories emerged. The categories that emerged were: "The virus causes changes in work and private life", " To care for seriously ill patients where many die " and " To experience an unreasonable workload ".Conclusion: The degree project can be seen as a contribution to creating an understanding of the complex work environment that prevailed during today's first pandemic outbreak in the world and nurses' experiences of caring in this situation. Through its foundation in analysis of qualitative research, this can be made possible and contribute to creating tools for nurses in the future to handle similar situations and reduce the risk of ill health.
Bakgrund: År 2019 bröt ett nytt coronavirus ut världen över och orsakade en pandemi. Det har påvisats att denna patientgrupp kräver mer tid till övervakning och omvårdnad än andra patientgrupper som vårdas på intensivvårdsavdelningar. Sjuksköterskor som vårdat patienter med coronavirus har påvisat psykologiska- och fysiska påfrestningar. Syfte: att belysa sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att vårda patienter med Covid-19 på intensivvårdsavdelningar Metod: Kvalitativ induktiv ansats utifrån obearbetat material i form av beskrivande bloggar ifrån internet. Data analyserades utefter en manifest innehållsanalys. Resultat: I resultatet framkom ett övergripande tema: ”Att vara sjuksköterskor i frontlinjen”. Vidare framkom tre kategorier och sju subkategorier. Kategorierna som framkom var: ”Viruset orsakar förändringar i arbete och privatliv”, ”Att vårda svårt sjuka patienter där många dör” samt ”Att uppleva orimlig arbetsbelastning”.Slutsats: Examensarbetet kan ses som ett bidrag till att skapa en förståelse för den komplexa arbetsmiljö som var rådande under nutidens första pandemiutbrott i världen och sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att vårda i denna situation. Genom sin grund i analys av kvalitativ forskning kan detta möjliggöras och bidra till att i framtiden skapa verktyg för sjuksköterskor att hantera liknade situationer och reducera risken för ohälsa.

Abstract:
Antalet sjukskrivningar till följd av stressrelaterade sjukdomar har ökat kraftigt för vårdpersonal. Därtill saknas det evidens för internetbaserade interventioner mot stressrelaterad ohälsa för vårdpersonal. Syftet var att undersöka och utvärdera en internetbaserad kognitiv beteendeterapi-intervention (iKBT) avseende graden av samvetsstress, arbetsrelaterad stress samt självmedkänsla hos vårdpersonal. Enkäter bestående av Stress of Conscience Questionnaire (SCQ), Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire version II (COPSOQ II) och Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) besvarades av deltagarna (N = 8), samtliga var kvinnor mellan 27 – 53 år. Resultaten analyserades med PEM och RCI på individnivå och T-test på gruppnivå. RCI-analysen visade begränsade resultat för SCQ, blandade resultat för COPSOQ II och övervägande positiva resultat för SCS. Analysen på gruppnivå visade en signifikant minskning i Sömnbesvär (p = .032) och Self-Judgment (p = .021) samt signifikant ökning i Self-Kindness (p = .016). Studien behöver replikeras i framtida studier med ett större antal deltagare och en studiedesign som är metodologiskt robust.
The amount of sick leave due to stress-related illnesses has increased significantly for healthcare staff. In addition, there is a lack of evidence for internet-based interventions for stress-related illness for healthcare staff. The aim was to examine and evaluate an internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (iCBT) intervention regarding the degree of stress of conscience, work-related stress and self-compassion among healthcare staff. Questionnaires consisting of Stress of Conscience Questionnaire (SCQ), Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire version II (COPSOQ II) and Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) were answered by the participants (N = 8), all were women between 27 - 53 years. The results were analyzed with PEM and RCI at the individual level and T-tests at group level. The RCI analysis showed limited results for SCQ, mixed results for COPSOQ II and predominantly positive results for SCS. The analysis at group level showed a significant decrease in Sleep Disorders (p = .032) and Self-Judgment (p = .021) as well as a significant increase in Self-Kindness (p = .016). The study needs to be replicated in future studies with a larger number of participants and a study design that is more methodologically robust.

Abstract:
The present dissertation aims to improve our knowledge on the longitudinal development of Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) and the role of interpersonal and intrapersonal risk factors associated with it. Non-Suicidal Self-injury (NSSI), defined as the direct and deliberate self-inflicted damage of body tissue without suicidal intent, is a serious public health concern worldwide (Kiekens et al., 2018). Adolescents are the most at-risk group, given that the transition into adolescence may represent a critical vulnerability period for the onset of NSSI behaviors (Lloyd-Richardson, 2008). This phenomenon requires attention not only because of its heavy impact in terms of public health and the high incidence within the population, but also for the consequences that engagement in NSSI entails. The long-term effects of self-injurious behavior can be destructive, with consequences for emotional and cognitive development (Baetens et al., 2011). NSSI is used as a maladaptive means of coping with intense emotions. Both interpersonal (e.g., social interaction with peers and family; Brausch & Gutierrez, 2010) and intrapersonal factors (e.g., emotion regulation, self-efficacy, and self-esteem; Baetens et al., 2011) can serve to initiate and maintain NSSI (Nock, 2009; Nock & Prinstein, 2004; Zetterqvist et al., 2013). In the last ten years, the attention given to this issue has become increasingly important. Most of the existing literature has examined this behavior (e.g., prevalence, risks factors) at the cross-sectional level, while few studies have explored the longitudinal development of NSSI, and the role played by interpersonal and intrapersonal factors at the longitudinal level. For these reasons, the general aim of the present dissertation is to analyze the longitudinal development of NSSI and the association with interpersonal and intrapersonal risk factors. Three empirical studies are presented. They cover three main issues: 1) a meta-analysis on the longitudinal development of NSSI; 2) the reciprocal associations between peer problems and NSSI; 3) the mediational role of Covid-19 related stress in the association between pre-existing vulnerabilities and NSSI. In the first study (Chapter 1), we presented a meta-analysis on the development of NSSI from childhood to young adulthood, using a Bayesian approach. The aim was to examine both the occurrence and the frequency of NSSI over time, considering all studies published up until November 2020. Subsequently, we examined the role of possible moderators, such as gender, mean age during the first wave of data collection, and number of months covered by the assessment. The results show the important role of gender (i.e., females) and age in the explanation of the expected proportion and mean changes of NSSI over time. Specifically, what emerges from the findings is how being female represents an important risk factor for the occurrence of this behavior. As for the frequency of this behavior, a higher percentage of females are associated with higher severity of NSSI, but it tends to decrease over time. The results show that mid-adolescence (i.e., 14/15 years) appears to be the period of highest risk for the occurrence of NSSI over time. Instead, over time, findings suggest that the frequency of this behavior is higher in adolescence, at a mean age of 15-16 years of age, and it decreases in late adolescence (e.g., Plener et al., 2015). In the second study (Chapter 2), we investigated the reciprocal associations between peer problems (e.g., peer victimization, friendship stress, and loneliness) and NSSI throughout adolescence, distinguishing between- and within-person effects. Participants were 866 adolescents (54.5% females; Mage = 13.12 years, SD = 0.78), who took part in six waves of data collection. Random Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Models (RI-CLPM) were used to estimate within-person cross-lagged effects between each peer problem and NSSI from Grade 7 to 12. After accounting for between-person associations between peer problems and NSSI, results indicated that higher-than-usual levels of NSSI predicted higher-than-usual levels of adolescents’ own friendship stress, loneliness, and peer victimization at the subsequent time point. Yet, sensitivity analyses revealed that most of these effects were strongly attenuated and explained by within-person fluctuations in depressive symptoms. No within-person cross-lagged effects from peer problems to NSSI were found. In the third study (Chapter 3), we examined the role of Covid-19 related stress in the association between pre-existing vulnerabilities and the engagement in NSSI during the pandemic. Specifically, the study aimed to examine if adolescents with pre-existing vulnerabilities, including a prior history of NSSI, higher levels of internalizing symptoms, and poorer regulatory emotional self-efficacy, were more likely to show increases in NSSI across the pandemic period through higher levels of Covid-19 related stress. The analysis was conducted on 1061 adolescents (52.4% females; Mage = 15.49 years, SD = 0.76), enrolled in the 9th and 10th grade in Tuscany, Italy, who took part in two waves of data collection. Results showed that adolescents with pre-existing vulnerabilities were at higher risk of engaging in NSSI through the role of Covid-19 related stress. Specifically, adolescents with a prior history of NSSI, higher levels of anxious and depressive symptoms, and poorer regulatory emotional self-efficacy showed a higher level of Covid-19 related stress, which in turn it was associated with an increased risk of occurrence of NSSI. In the final chapter (Chapter 4), the results of the previous three studies have been discussed highlighting their contribution to the literature on the longitudinal development of NSSI, strengths and limitations, and the implications for future studies.

Abstract:
It is no secret that the world has a COVID-19 vaccine problem. The majority of vaccination doses have been administered in Europe and North America, whilst many poorer counties have vaccinated less than 1% of their entire population. In light of the new variants presenting health risks, countries such as South Africa and India have proposed that the World Trade Organisation temporarily waive intellectual property rights for COVID-19 vaccines to help increase the production of vaccines. The world’s economic powerhouses such as U.S., Britain and the European Union vetoed the idea, submitting that intellectual property rights are important for ensuring continued innovation. They are of the opinion that waiving such rights would not result in increased production. The question therefore stands if these are only two options: either patents remain unchanged, or patents are disregarded. An alternative, and perhaps a middle ground is that of compulsory licensing. Although a seemingly good option, it presents its own problems. For instance, patents are territorial and grant the patent holder a monopoly for a limited time of 20 years. However, based on public needs – including health emergencies, a government can allow others to make the product, usually with a fair royalty, or fee, paid to the patent owner. However, this ends at the border. Article 31 of the WTO’s Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Law, or TRIPS, limit compulsory licenses primarily to domestic production and use. This is also limited to companies within the territory, producing products primarily for export. This of course would make the whole point of such compulsory licenses redundant, since the countries producing such vaccines are not the countries that do not have access to them. The other problem with the COVID-19 vaccine is that the technologies used in producing such vaccines are complex and involve numerous patents, trade secrets and know-how. A compulsory licensing system would need to address not just patents but also the related intellectual property in question. To successfully expand vaccine production, countries need a moderately smooth structure to allow a country such as India, to grant a single, blanket license allowing companies to produce vaccines develop by the U.S. or European companies for export to all countries that lack their own manufacturing capacity. The proposed WTO waiver of intellectual property rights seeks to address the need of improved vaccine production, but it may be little too far stressed. Compulsory licensing would smooth the way for the expansion of vaccine manufacturing whilst at the same time still compensating the right holders.

Abstract:
AbstractThe authors discuss the mental health problems that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mental health manifested as a lifestyle disorder that is being experienced by everybody all around the world. The authors discuss a range of mental health problems that are due to COVID-19. Their prevalence and implications are assessed. In order to provide perspective, research from India and other countries is cited. The causes and consequences of mental health problems associated with COVID-19 are analyzed.In India, mental health problems were on the rise even before the pandemic. The pandemic, however, greatly exacerbated these problems. Stress, anxiety, and depression became a part of everyone’s life. No one was spared. Strong public health measures to contain the pandemic including the prohibition of movement and isolation took their toll. Being away from work, school, and peers, adjusting to new ways of working and learning, and dealing with job loss were all stressful. Fake news and miscommunication further fueled the problem.A large section of the population was forced to re-invent its workplace, often in unfavorable environments, resulting in a deep sense of unease. Research shows that because of uncertainties related to finances, work pressure, and jobs, there was a rise in the number of cases of mental illness. The number of suicides also increased. Research in India and other countries underscores that COVID-19 compounded all these problems. Stringent public health measures imposed by all governments, although necessary for containing the pandemic, had a major impact on the psychological state of people. Fear, anxiety, and anger are some of its psychological consequences. Anxiety producing information in the media accentuated these problems.Pre-occupation with the pandemic resulted in a neglect of the mental well-being of the patients, healthcare professionals, and frontline workers. This caused psychological distress that varied from panic attacks and collective hysteria to pervasive feelings of hopelessness and desperation including suicidal behavior. The psychological wellness of individuals was influenced unfavorably by lifestyle changes caused by the pandemic that included isolation, limited mobility, social stigma, and ever-spreading misinformation and fake news on web-based platforms.Violence against women and girls was also exacerbated during the pandemic. Violence took place not only within the home but also in other spaces. Violence was severe among migrant workers, health workers, and sex workers. The authors underscore the urgent need for setting- up hotlines, crises centers, shelters, legal-aid, and counseling services.The pandemic might be the much-needed wake-up call to make long-term improvements in India’s healthcare system. It offers an opportunity for India to take greater cognizance of mental health problems and to integrate services to address these problems within the primary healthcare system.

AbstractIn the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic when in-person courses were switching to emergency remote learning formats, even students online needed flexibility. This case study describes how a graduate-level online class on open learning and open educational resources (OER) was redesigned to both allow students to apply their course-related knowledge and skills in the service of others and accommodate students whose other life responsibilities had changed. Findings show that these online students experienced great stress during Spring 2020, and many had increased job duties related to the shift to remote learning. These students appreciated the flexible redesign and used it as an opportunity to help integrate OER in their own remote teaching and assist others to do the same. They provided their colleagues and the field at large with educational resources about finding, using, creating, and sharing OER, all while meeting course objectives. Even students who were not employed as educators or instructional designers embraced the opportunity to be helpers and deploy their new knowledge and skills. Student learning outcomes were assessed using reflective portfolios, and course objectives were met whether students followed the original course plan or took advantage of the course redesign.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter is concerned with identifying: (i) challenges to food systems in Africa, Asia, and Latin America caused by urban development, (ii) how existing food systems respond to these challenges, and (iii) what can be done to improve their responsiveness. The chapter is based on the authors’ published research complemented by additional literature. We define ‘urban food systems’ as food systems linked to cities by material and human flows. Urbanisation poses challenges related to food and nutritional security with the co-existence of multiple forms of malnutrition (especially for women and children/adolescents), changing employment (including for women), and environmental protection. It is widely acknowledged that contemporary food systems respond differently to these challenges according to their traditional (small-scale, subsistence, informal) versus modern (large-scale, value-oriented, formal) characteristics. We go beyond this classification and propose six types of urban food system: subsistence, short relational, long relational, value-oriented small and medium enterprise (SME)-driven, value-oriented supermarket-driven, and digital. These correspond to different consumer food environments in terms of subsistence versus market orientation, access through retail markets, shops or supermarkets, diversity of food, prices and food quality attributes. Urban food supply chains differ not only in scale and technology, but also in the origin (rural, urban or imports) and perishability of food products. We stress the complementarity between short chains that supply many perishable and fresh food items (usually nutrient-dense) and long chains that involve collectors, wholesalers, retailers, storage and processing enterprises for many calorie-rich staple food commodities. More and more SMEs are upgrading their business through technologies, consumer orientation, and stakeholder coordination patterns, including food clusters and alliances.Urban food systems based on micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) have proven resilient in times of crisis (including in the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic). Rather than promoting the linear development of so-called ‘traditional’ towards ‘modern’ food systems, we propose seven sets of recommendations aimed at further upgrading MSME business, improving the affordability and accessibility of food to ensure food and nutritional security while accounting for the specificities of urban contexts of low- and middle-income countries.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 crept in silently and subsequently spread at a rapid pace ultimately progressing into a pandemic with a high rate of morbidity, mortality, loss of income and sustained social isolation for billions of people. This sudden human tragedy required heavy adjustment and was difficult to adapt quickly as we humans are gregarious in nature and always need social connect in our lives especially during a crisis. History has shown that mental health impact of pandemics outlasts the physical impact. In general, mental health and related issues are not recognized in public and with global pandemic these silent and insidious issues can be either misdiagnosed or go unnoticed completely.

Abstract:
Although COVID-19 clinical presentation primarily involves the respiratory system causing bilateral pneumonia, it is becoming increasingly recognized that COVID-19 is in fact a systemic disease. Neurological presentations have been reported in patients with both mild and severe COVID-19 symptoms. As such, elderly individuals are at a significantly higher risk of developing severe COVID-19 as well as neurocognitive consequences due to the presence of comorbidities associated with aging and the direct consequences of infection. Several neurological disorders that have been described in the literature include insomnia, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and cognitive insufficiencies. The potential underlying mechanisms are still incompletely understood but are likely multifaceted, involving both direct neurotrophic effect of SARS-CoV-2 and the indirect consequences related to social isolation in long intensive care units, the use of mechanical ventilation and sedation and the resultant brain hypoxia, systemic inflammation and secondary effects of medications used in treatment of COVID-19. Furthermore, neuro-cardiovascular adaptations resulting from the chronic stress and depression milieu of COVID-19 is expected to contribute negatively to the cardiovascular health of the survivors. It is thus imperative to implement a rigorous monitoring program for COVID-19 survivors, particularly among the elderly population, to assess potential neuro-cognitive and cardiovascular deteriorations.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease) pandemic is a serious global health crisis that has affected numerous nations. COVID has affected the livelihood, economy, and mental and physical health of people all over the world. A survey-based study was carried out in August 2021, to understand the pre and post-health complications related to COVID-19. Active research was carried out by conducting a survey about the mental and physical health difficulties pre- and post-COVID. The sample size for the survey consisted of 102 responses from individuals from various age groups and backgrounds. Various factors such as gender, age group, precautions, vaccination status, COVID infection status, mental stress, physical and mental health complications post-COVID were studied and their relation with COVID infection was also considered.

Abstract:
In this chapter, three Black faculty from two different predominantly white institutions (PWIs) reflect on how they were able to successfully transition their traditional face-to-face courses to online or remote courses in a short time frame. They briefly describe the two institutions followed by a discussion of the struggles with technological issues, the benefits and disadvantages of working from home, as well as the stress of coping with COVID-19-related issues. Next, the faculty describe the strategies implemented with college students to help the students navigate the transition and be successful in their courses when all schools, colleges, and universities were forced to make the switch from traditional face-to-face instruction to online or remote teaching due to the pandemic.

Abstract:
Vaccine hesitancy is a continuum, conditional on confidence (on vaccine or healthcare authorities), complacency, structural or psychological constraints, calculation or evaluation, vaccination convenience, and aspects pertaining to collective responsibility. The present chapter documents hesitancy to COVID-19 vaccination; and elaborates on factors that contribute to both hesitancy (barriers and concerns) and acceptance (enablers) rates, disaggregated by populations. We also discuss the multimodal nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and its vaccine hesitancy-related implications on routine immunisation. The pandemic and related movement restrictions or other mitigation measures, partial or complete suspension of vaccination clinics or fear of COVID-19, stress, anxiety, and depression may have limited parents’ access to avail routine immunisation vaccines for their children. Also, the impact of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is not limited to pandemic vaccines but may continue to extend to routinely recommended vaccines.

Abstract:
This chapter studies the component of stress among HCWs related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its influencing factors and interventions in preventing stress at work. Staff were interviewed using the job content questionnaire a validate version of Karasek model with 26 questions. Sociodemographic and stress variables were entered into correlation analysis to find the variables associated with occupational stress. The empiric results show in the first part that the component of occupational stress is essentially from low decision latitude and high psychological job demands. The empiric results show in the second part that certain sample characteristics have crucial impact on the Karasek score either positive or negative. Moreover, the healthcare staff are using multiple techniques and strategies to cope with the job strain during this pandemic, but only 11% are seeking professional support.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 outbreak resulted in higher anxiety levels, in which cyberchondria played a significant role. However, little is known about the factors that helped individuals maintain their wellbeing amid the pandemic. The current chapter presents selected results from three surveys carried out with school leaders in Ireland in relation to their source of stress, and factors that helped them cope with the COVID-19 crisis. The first survey took place a week after the COVID-19-related school closure (study 1, N = 2,864). The second survey took place two months after the school closure (study 2, N = 939). The third survey took place three months after the school re-opening (study 3, N = 861). Participants were asked about their source of stress and the actions they took to maintain wellbeing. Similarities and differences were identified across all three samples using thematic analysis. Unique factors associated with specific stages of the pandemic were identified. This chapter discusses implications in relation to the policy and practice of school leaders during the school closure.

Abstract:
Background: Social distancing measures related to COVID-19 pandemic have challenged older adults’ social connectedness and mental health. Loneliness and social isolation have been reported, but their impact on cognition is unclear. Objective: To explore changes on daily activity, mental health and its relationship with cognitive performance in older adults during the pandemic. Methods: 100 individuals ≥60 years, without cognitive impairment, enrolled in the Brazilian Memory Study(BRAMS), were applied the UCLA Loneliness Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, Geriatric Depression Scale, Mini-Mental State Exam(MMSE), assessment of daily routine, memory complaints and social connectedness during the pandemic. Results: Almost half of the participants reported the pandemic significantly affected their life, 38.9% lost a relative due to COVID-19, 60% had daily routine changes, due to decreases in physical activity(78%), relationships(40.5%), emotion(22%) and autonomy. Voice message to keep social connectedness increased from 24.2% to 42.1% and memory complaints reached 40%. More than 30% felt more stress, loneliness or depression comparing to prepandemic. Controlling for age, sex, and education, higher UCLA scores were associated with low MMSE (p=0.018). Conclusion: COVID-19 pandemic impacted routine, social connectedness, and mental health in older adults. Loneliness was associated with lower cognitive performance, highlighting the importance of incorporating systematic evaluations into clinical practice to identify vulnerable individuals to mental and cognitive disorders during the pandemic.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic is a new and challenging experience for families with children. It has changed the routine of everyday life dramatically. The aim of this mixed methods study was to explore the sources of parental stress and applied coping strategies during the first emergency situation related to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as compare the answers in different demographic groups of parents. Respondents were 2 559 parents, most of them were female, with a mean age of 39 years. Among the series of open-ended questions in a survey, the two of them were analysed in this research, respectively “What causes you the most stress or worry?” and “What activities do you do or keep in mind to maintain your mental health and quality of life?” Thematic analysis of written responses of parents led to development of 16 qualitative categories of stressors and 14 categories of coping strategies. The most common stressors of the parents were physical and social distancing, remote learning and work-related stress. The most common coping was physical activity, time for oneself and spending time with the family. Within demographic groups the two-parent families were more likely to report an increase of home duties, multitasking, parents’ personal issues, fear of becoming infected with the virus and also no stress. Parents aged under 39 years were more likely to mention stressors such as physical and social distancing and change in daily routine, and they were more likely to cope with stress by spending time with the family. Older parents (over 39 years) were more likely to mention stressors such as uncertainty, COVID-related information, no stress at all or other, and were more likely to use such coping strategies as spending time for oneself, communication with others and gardening. The results of the study suggest that families were exposed to multi-stressors during the COVID-19 pandemic related first emergency situation in Latvia in May-June 2020. Parents of children used a variety of coping strategies and most of them were active.

Abstract:
Introduction: Emerging evidence suggests that cannabis use has increased since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many cannabis users report using at a greater frequency and attribute this change in part to a desire to cope with changes to mental health (e.g., depression, social anxiety) and stress associated with the pandemic. Despite increases in social isolation due to quarantine and social-distancing requirements, little is known about how the social context of cannabis use (i.e., how much cannabis use is conducted with others vs. alone) may be associated with affective and social factors as well as cannabis-related consequences. This cross-sectional study explored associations of solitary cannabis use frequency with depression, social anxiety, loneliness, interpersonal sensitivity, pandemic-related stress, and cannabis use consequences. Method: Participants (N = 168; 53% female, mean age = 18.71 [SD = 0.99]; 67% White, 11% Hispanic/Latinx) were college students who reported lifetime cannabis use. Participants completed a single-wave online survey assessing solitary and overall cannabis use frequency, depression, social anxiety, loneliness, interpersonal sensitivity, pandemic-related stress, and cannabis consequences. First, independent-samples t-tests and zero-inflated negative binomial regression were used to explore associations of at-least monthly solitary (vs. exclusively or majority social use) cannabis use with proposed correlates and cannabis use consequences, respectively. Second, all affective factors were entered into a multinomial logistic regression predicting past-year (but no past-month) and past-month solitary cannabis use (with no past-year solitary use as reference). Age and sex were controlled for given prior associations with solitary cannabis use and cannabis use consequences. Results: Compared to exclusively or predominantly social use, past-month solitary cannabis use was independently associated with greater depression (t[166]=2.49, Cohen’s d=0.41), interpersonal sensitivity (t[166]=3.09, Cohen’s d=0.51), pandemic-related stress (t[166]=3.95, d=0.67), and cannabis use consequences (IRR=2.28, <.001). Results from the multinomial regression showed that male sex (OR=3.48, p=.032) and greater pandemic-related stress (OR=1.41, p=.001) were associated with higher odds of past-year solitary use, while male sex (OR=2.98, p=.016), greater interpersonal sensitivity (OR=1.12, p=.044), and greater pandemic stress (OR=1.34, p<.001) was associated with higher odds of past-month solitary use. Conclusion: Findings expand upon pre-pandemic findings that solitary cannabis use is associated with social anxiety and cannabis use consequences, and further emphasize associations of frequent solitary cannabis use with greater cannabis consequences. Findings further implicate interpersonal sensitivity and pandemic-related stress as risk factors for higher frequency solitary cannabis use. Taken together, findings suggest a) screening for solitary use may have utility for identifying higher-risk users among college students and b) individuals who use cannabis alone may benefit from treatment targeting concurrent issues with stress management and interpersonal sensitivity.

Abstract:
Background: Due to the lack of clarification on the pathophysiological mechanism of COVID - 19 in the neurological system, psychological consequences of SARS - CoV-2 infection are questioned. Objective: To describe the neuropsychiatric sequelae of COVID-19, concomitant with flu syndrome or after, and factors related to its neurotropic mechanism. Design and setting: Integrative review based on the Pubmed database. Methods: A reading of titles and abstracts was done by 2 reviewers of 260 articles, in a blind and independent way, followed by a complete reading, resulting in choice of 16 articles. Using following exclusion criteria: complete articles, publication time 2020-2021 and in English language. Results: From articles read, the following are manifested: acute psychotic episode (68.7%), anxiety (56.2%), disorders related to schizophrenia (43.7%), insomnia (43.7%) and depression (37.5%). The mechanism is multifactorial and may include direct factors of infection, corticosteroid therapy, length of stay in the ICU, female gender and stress due to social isolation. There’re reports of association of psychotic symptoms with previous coronaviruses such as SARSCoV and MERS - CoV contributing to neurotrophic hypothesis. Health professionals have an increased risk of developing psychiatric outcomes and also a high probability of having transient psychosis related to environmental stress, including the socio-environmental element to the risk factors. Conclusion: Despite few analytical studies on the topic, there’s a strong relationship between COVID-19 and neuropsychiatric manifestations, of multifactorial cause, but mainly due to the period of social confinement. Long-term follow-up of patients may provide further evidence of correlation and causality.

Abstract:
The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic transformed the lives of all people. The vaccination process worldwide, in a way, is creating the necessary conditions to return to face-to-face attendance in daily work activities. In this sense, the research focuses on establishing whether people who are working in person have been affected by their daily activities in their work environment with other colleagues. An online survey was conducted, from which a total of N = 202 participants was taken. Aspects related to efficiency and effectiveness in the workplace, and whether stress affected their performance, were addressed. The results show that the biggest stress for participants is having to share activities with larger groups of people, regardless of whether biosecurity standards are respected.

The results of this study demonstrate that COVID-related stress affects multiple areas of functioning, from work variables like burnout and job satisfaction to general wellbeing. They also demonstrate that there is hope. More specifically, there is indication that engaging in resilience practices, gratitude practices, and developing one’s ability to tolerate ambiguity can all help ameliorate the deleterious effects of COVID-related stress.

Abstract:
This study explores the psychosocial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the population in Greece during the general lockdown period. Specifically, depression, anxiety and stress scores, as well as the factors associated with vulnerability to developing mental health conditions during this period, were investigated. A total of 911 adults participated in an online survey by completing a self-reporting questionnaire that included demographic questions, DASS-42 items (anxiety, stress and depression scales) and other questions related to personal experience. Regression modelling uncovered a significant relationship between gender and DASS scores, with women having significantly higher scores than men for all mental health problems. Participants aged 20–39 years were especially vulnerable to experiencing poor mental health. Unemployed participants reported having worse mental health than others. Having more perceived psychosocial support during the pandemic was associated with lower overall scores. Thus, women, young adults and the unemployed exhibited particularly high levels of vulnerability, while individuals who received social support from relatives and friends during the lockdown were more resilient to the effects of social isolation.

Abstract:
During the lockdown imposed due to the first wave of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, there were several media reports of citizens flouting the lockdown rules in the United States. Upon closer investigation it was found that the rules were flouted mostly so that people could spend time outdoors in natural environments. This exemplifies the role of the natural environment as a panacea to the mental stress created by pandemics. River ecosystems are perhaps the greatest natural feature of any city. Efficient management of urban rivers, therefore, is strongly correlated to crisis management during pandemics like COVID-19.

Abstract:
Learning to cope with disappointments and overcoming obstacles is part of growing up. By conquering some challenges, children develop resilience. Such normal stressors may include initiating a new activity or separation from parents during preschool hours. However, when the challenges in early childhood are intensified by important stressors happening outside their own lives, they may start to worry about the safety of themselves and their families. This may cause chronic stress, which interferes with their emotional, cognitive, and social development. In developing country contexts, it is especially hard to capture promptly the effects of stressors related to the COVID-19 pandemic on childrens cognitive and socioemotional development. In this note, we draw on the literature on the effect of stress on brain development and examine data from a recent survey of households with young children carried out in four Latin American countries to offer suggestions for policy responses. We suggest that early childhood and education systems play a decisive role in assessing and addressing childrens mental health needs. In the absence of forceful policy responses on multiple fronts, the mental health outcomes may become lasting.

Abstract:
Since it began in early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to considerable concerns about the viability of local food systems and rural livelihoods across sub-Saharan Africa. This paper presents the results of a three-round assessment of the effects of COVID-19 on the farming, labour and marketing practices, food and nutrition security, and well-being of over 800 male- and female-headed rural households in eight countries – Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. In this paper, we argue that when we closely examine the lived experiences of people in different country contexts, results suggest that the immediate restrictions and strict control measures imposed by governments at the start of the pandemic on social and commercial activities acted as a major shock to the well-being of many rural households and communities. Furthermore, while some households and communities were able to find ways to cope or adapt to the COVID-19-related disruptions, for others the pandemic coincided with a number of other shocks and stresses (extreme weather events, locust infestations, conflict and insecurity, or a combination of these), exacerbating some of the observed risks.
