“…This could be attributed to factors such as job loss, reduced social interactions, limited educational opportunities, recreational constraints, and diminished freedom as they spend more time at home. Research suggests that certain measures implemented to combat the pandemic may disproportionately affect vulnerable groups, such as the unemployed [10]. Within this study, the "Other" group, consisting of mothers with children, pregnant women, and students, emerges as particularly susceptible to mental health challenges induced by the pandemic.…”

Objective: The Covid-19 pandemic has raised significant concerns about public health, particularly in terms of mental well-being due to heightened fear and uncertainty. The findings of this study are based on a survey conducted to evaluate the mental health status of the general population in Croatia during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: A survey conducted randomly and cross-sectionally included 588 respondents from all 21 counties in Croatia. The survey gathered demographic data and assessed various factors related to pandemic response measures and mental health using the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) scale. Results: Despite feeling adequately informed about Covid-19 (76.0%), most respondents (60.8%) expressed concerns about their loved ones during the pandemic. There were significant numbers who felt there was no risk of infection (50.9%) or believed they would not get infected (40.2%), while 72.4% were content with government measures. Statistical analysis indicated that mental health was not significantly different between genders, but age-related differences were evident, with those under 21 experiencing the most distress. The lowest level of psychological and social well-being was observed in respondents who were unemployed. Conclusions: The study identifies vulnerable groups in the Croatian population during the pandemic, including younger individuals, those on parental leave, students, and the unemployed, who exhibited worse mental health. The importance of implementing targeted mental health interventions to support these vulnerable groups is highlighted by these findings.

“…In addition to the above explanation, other factors that can affect the level of stress in pregnant women include the fact that pregnant women are more vulnerable to viral infections (Fakari & Simbar, 2020), making them susceptible to COVID-19 infection due to their lowered immunity caused by hormonal changes during pregnancy (Yolanda, Bakhtiar, Putri, & Firgantri, 2021). This can lead to psychological effects on pregnant women, including stress, anxiety, and depression (Yuanti et al, 2021).…”

Religiosity has been found to have a significant impact on stress levels in various populations. This study aims to understand the relationship between religiosity and stress level of pregnant women. It is a quantitative research. The study included 53 Muslim pregnant women participants. Data was taken using the Religiosity Scale and Stress Level Scale. The data was analyzed by product moment analysis correlation. The result of the analysis showed a negative and strong correlation between religiosity and stress levels, with a coefficient correlation (rxy)= -0,894 (p<0,01) and a coefficient determination of 0,796. Based on this data, it was concluded that religiosity contributed effectively to the stress levels of Muslim pregnant women by 79,6%. The hypothesis was proven, that there was a relationship between religiosity and stress level among Muslim pregnant women. The study underscores the importance of understanding the complex interplay between religion and mental health. The findings suggest that religiosity can be an effective factor in reducing stress levels in Muslim pregnant women.

UNSTRUCTURED Aim This study explored the associations of individual factors (demographic characteristics, self-confidence in responding to coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19], and self-rated physical and mental health) and environmental factors (perceived confidence in COVID-19 management by the regional government and adequacy of resources and support available to address the COVID-19 pandemic) with worry toward COVID-19 and general anxiety among people in Taiwan. Method In total, 1970 respondents were recruited through a Facebook advertisement and completed an online survey on worry toward COVID-19, general anxiety during the pandemic, and individual and environmental factors. Result In total, 51.7% and 43.4% of respondents reported high levels of worry toward COVID-19 and general anxiety, respectively. Health care workers, exhibited worse self-rated mental health and lower self-confidence in COVID-19 management, and insufficient mental health resources were significantly associated with high levels of both worry toward COVID-19 and general anxiety. Lower perceived confidence in COVID-19 management by the regional government was significantly associated with a higher level of worry toward COVID-19. Lower perceived social support was significantly associated with a higher level of general anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion The results showed that high levels of worry toward COVID-19 and general anxiety were prevalent during the disease outbreak. Multiple individual and environmental factors related to worry toward COVID-19 and general anxiety were identified.
