“…Each patient who agreed to participate in the study was assessed using a set of self-administered questionnaires, which included the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) 14 , PTSD CheckList-Civilian Version (PCL-C) 15 , Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) 16 , Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) 17 , Fatigue Scale-14 (FS-14) 18 , Chinese Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) 19 , and individual Simple Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) 20 . The degree of perceived social stigmatization was also assessed by asking participants to rate whether they perceived any stigmatization due to their infection status, on a scale of 1 (no stigmatization) to 4 (always perceived stigmatization) 10 .…”

Objective: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) -a novel and highly infectious pneumoniahas now spread across China and beyond for over four months. However, its psychological impact on patients is unclear. We aim to examine the prevalence and associated risk factors for psychological morbidities and fatigue in patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection.Methods: Amidst the disease outbreak, 41 out of 105 COVID-19 patients in a local designated hospital in China were successfully assessed using a constellation of psychometric questionnaires to determine their psychological morbidities and fatigue. Several potential biopsychosocial risk factors (including pre-existing disabilities, CT severity score of pneumonia, social support, coping strategies) were assessed through multivariable logistic regression analyses to clarify their association with mental health in patients.Results: 43.9% of 41 patients presented with impaired general mental health, 12.2% had posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, 26.8% had anxiety and/or depression symptoms, and 53.6% had fatigue. We did not find any association between pneumonia severity and psychological morbidities or fatigue in COVID-19 patients. However, high perceived stigmatization was associated with an increased risk of impaired general mental health and high perceived social support was associated with decreased risk. Besides, negative coping inclination was associated with an increased risk of PTSD symptoms; high perceived social support was associated with a decreased risk of anxiety and/or depression symptoms. Conclusions:Psychological morbidities and chronic fatigue are common among COVID-19 patients.Negative coping inclination and being stigmatized are primary risk factors while perceived social support is the main protective factor.

“…Before MR scanning, each participant was assessed with a set of neuropsychological tests, which included the Hamilton Depression (HAMD) (Hamilton, 1960) and Hamilton Anxiety (HAMA) (Hamilton, 1959) rating scales, and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) (Folstein, Robins, & Helzer, 1983). The bereaved parents also had their social support level assessed using the Chinese Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) (Cheng et al, 2008); individual coping ability was also evaluated with the Simple Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) (Jiang, Du, & Dong, 2017). A detailed description is available in the online Supplementary Material.…”

Background Losing one's only child is a major traumatic life event that may lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); however, the underlying mechanisms of its psychological consequences remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated subregional hippocampal functional connectivity (FC) networks based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and the deoxyribonucleic acid methylation of the human glucocorticoid receptor gene (NR3C1) in adults who had lost their only child. Methods A total of 144 Han Chinese adults who had lost their only child (51 adults with PTSD and 93 non-PTSD adults [trauma-exposed controls]) and 50 controls without trauma exposure were included in this fMRI study (age: 40–67 years). FCs between hippocampal subdivisions (four regions in each hemisphere: cornu ammonis1 [CA1], CA2, CA3, and dentate gyrus [DG]) and methylation levels of the NR3C1 gene were compared among the three groups. Results Trauma-exposed adults, regardless of PTSD diagnosis, had weaker positive FC between the left hippocampal CA1, left DG, and the posterior cingulate cortex, and weaker negative FC between the right CA1, right DG, and several frontal gyri, relative to healthy controls. Compared to non-PTSD adults, PTSD adults showed decreased negative FC between the right CA1 region and the right middle/inferior frontal gyri (MFG/IFG), and decreased negative FC between the right DG and the right superior frontal gyrus and left MFG. Both trauma-exposed groups showed lower methylation levels of the NR3C1 gene. Conclusions Adults who had lost their only child may experience disrupted hippocampal network connectivity and NR3C1 methylation status, regardless of whether they have developed PTSD.

“…The first by Ilaja and Reyes (2016) that analyzed the mediating effect of health and emotional intelligence between stress and burnout in a sample of 60 teachers and the second by García-Arroyo and Osca (2017) that analyzed the relationships between the conjoint use of active and evasive coping, and burnout. In addition, there are few studies in educational contexts and even less in university contexts (Jiang, Du, & Dong, 2017), which makes it more relevant to analyze, since the relationship between exhaustion and coping can vary between teaching levels (Carson, Tsouloupas, & Barber, 2012) Work overload and stress Stress, produced by work factors, refers to the contents of work itself and the tasks carried out in the work settings (Nguyen & Ermasova, 2018). It displays, both in quantitative and qualitative terms, especially in work overload situations associated with systems to increase quality, a higher demand for training, and the increasing use of information and communication technology applied to work tasks.…”

Changes in the education system in Ecuador have increased the workload of university teachers, producing stress and burnout. This study analyses the relation between work overload, coping styles and emotional exhaustion in a sample of 202 university teachers by using a hierarchical regression model analysis. The results show that work overload and evasive coping are positively related to emotional exhaustion, while active coping is negatively related to emotional exhaustion. Evasive coping moderated the relationship between work overload and emotional exhaustion so that teachers who use more evasive coping in situations of high work overload experience less burnout than teachers who use this coping style less. Finally, we discuss the limitations of this study and its theoretical and practical contributions for university professors in Latin American contexts.
