“…Tools to assess the attributes of being wheelchair-bound and being bedridden are the activities of daily living scale (Katz Index of ADLs or Barthel-Index) (Hartigan, 2007), the Lawton instrumental activities of daily living scale (IADL-Scale) (Graf, 2008), the Life-Space Assessment Questionnaire (LSA) (Peel et al, 2005), the Powerlessness assessment tool (Braga & Cruz, 2009), the de Morton Mobility Index (DEMMI) (Morton et al, 2008). Weakness can be measured by a clinical assessment (force and endurance measurements) and endurance by the attribute itself.…”

Aim Analysis of the concepts and development of a conceptual definition of being wheelchair‐bound and being bedridden. Design Concept analysis. Methods Walker and Avant´s concept analysis method was used. A thematic analysis guided the determination of the attributes, antecedents and consequences. Results Being wheelchair‐bound and being bedridden are defined as permanent states in which people are bound to an object. Being passively bound to a wheelchair and being bedridden both mean an increasing restriction of the life‐space. Being passive wheelchair‐bound often represents a preliminary stage to being bedridden. Both concepts have six attributes: in need of help, powerlessness, life‐space confinement, mobility limitation, endurance and weakness. They differ in the main feature maintaining an independent sitting position. Physical immobility and physiological instability are antecedents with the following influencing factors: illness, complexity, burden, endogenous/exogenous booster. The consequences are the progression of inactivity and all related physical and psycho‐social problems.

“…Powerlessness is a psychological state in which an individual feels out of control and unable to cope with current or future situations (Braga & de Cruz, 2009). It is also a pervasive negative psychological outcome during the COVID-19 pandemic in China (Biddlestone et al, 2020;Guo et al, 2020;Liu et al, 2020).…”

Items of this scale were grouped into three subscales: Powerlessness in Perform Behavior (e.g., "I feel incapable of looking after myself"); Powerlessness in Make Decision (e.g., "Nothing I do can change the situation I am in"); and Powerlessness in Control (e.g., "I feel sad when I think I need someone to help me").…”

During the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, domestic violence, interpersonal conflicts, and cyberbullying have risen sharply in China. We speculate that the perceived threat of COVID-19 is related to a general, non-target-specific aggressive tendency during the pandemic. We surveyed 1556 Chinese people in April 2020 (757 people in Hubei Province, the pandemic epicenter in China, and 799 in other regions of China where the pandemic is relatively not severe). A multiple-group structural equation modeling analysis found significant total effects between perceived threat of COVID-19 and aggressive tendencies during the pandemic in both regional groups, and the effect between them was mainly achieved through the mediating roles of sense of control and powerlessness during the pandemic. For all participants, negative coping strategies significantly aggravated the association between perceived threat of COVID-19 and aggressive tendencies during the pandemic, but the buffers were different across regions of outbreak severity. For participants in other regions where the pandemic is relatively not severe, positive coping strategies could mitigate the association between perceived threat of COVID-19 and aggressions. However, for participants in Hubei Province, the epicenter of China's pandemic, higher life satisfaction was more effective in buffering. These findings extend the possible consequences of the perceived COVID-19 threat and suggest that improving the life satisfaction of residents in areas with severe outbreaks is more effective in mitigating the adverse effects of COVID-19.Keywords COVID-19 . Perceived threat . Aggression . Mediator . ModeratorThe novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic that has swept the world since December 2019 is the most serious public health crisis since World War II (Guterres, 2020). This study paid particular attention to a prominent phenomenon during the pandemic in China: the rising aggressive tendencies among Chinese people. During the COVID-19 pandemic, people in China seemed to become restless. Domestic violence, interpersonal conflicts, and cyberbullying have risen sharply in the pandemic period (Global Times, 2020;Li et al., 2020;Ye et al., 2020). These aggressions may instigate social tensions and increase the level of social conflicts in the post-pandemic period (Censolo & Morelli, 2020). Therefore,
