“…The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure verified the sampling adequacy for the analyses, KMO = 0.59 ("mediocre" according to Hutcheson and Sofroniou [27]). The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test is widely used as a measure of how suited data is for factor analysis, e.g., [28]. The matrix of correlations showed significant correlations (Table 1) and one extracted factor.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on early childhood educational contexts and on educators’ working conditions. This study aims to examine the change over time in personal contribution to workplace safety and perception of risk of infection among preschool teachers after returning to in-person work during the third wave of the pandemic (spring 2021). Teachers’ perceptions of workplace safety can influence their quality of work-life and, as a consequence, the quality of service offered to children. Data were collected using two questionnaires: at T0 (January) and at T1 (May). The results showed relations between organizational and personal actions to manage risk and fear of infection at work. Concern about COVID-19 contagion decreased over time (t = 5.53, p = 0.000) and perceptions of personal contribution to workplace safety related to COVID-19 improved: t = −2.18 p = 0.031. The decrease in these concerns illustrates how perceptions of ability to manage contagion and protect workplace safety of preschool teachers improved over time, despite the stability of the pandemic context in the first half of 2021. After the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, this study gives an account of some good practices and their perceived effectiveness in terms of safety for childhood educational contexts.

“…The various anxiety symptoms reported in the scale were dizziness, sleep disturbances, tonic immobility, appetite loss and abdominal distress. This version of the five-item CAS developed by Lee (2020) to measure the mental health of an individual impacted by pandemic was validated and adapted across different countries, like India (Singh, 2021), Bangladesh (Ahmed et al, 2020), Korea (Choi et al, 2020), Cuba (Broche-P erez et al, 2020, Colombia (Vinaccia et al, 2021), Brazil (Padovan-Neto et al, 2021 Turkey (Evren et al, 2020), The Coronavirus Shopping Anxiety Scale Peru (Franco-Jimenez, 2020), Mexico (Mora-Maganã et al, 2020) and Arbia (Sayed et al, 2020). Further, an 11-item Coronavirus Pandemic Anxiety Scale (CPAS-11) was developed to measure the symptoms of anxiety related to the COVID-19 pandemic to help identify individuals who might need mental health services (Bernardo et al, 2020).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to develop a scale to measure coronavirus shopping anxiety. Numerous studies have developed a scale for measuring coronavirus anxiety and fear, notably absent is a concerted effort to review and assess the impact of coronavirus on the shopping anxiety of consumers. This scale fulfills this gap.Design/methodology/approachThe steps taken for checking the various psychometrics of the scale include item generation, followed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) through SPSS and confirmatory factor analysis through AMOS. The data were collected from over 208 respondents.FindingsThis study resulted in the development of a nine-item scale with robust psychometric properties. The scale resulted in highlighting two factors related to anxiety: in-store shopping anxiety and online shopping anxiety.Research limitations/implicationsThe scale developed has the desirable reliable and valid properties that could be used by aspiring researchers.Practical implicationsThe scale developed highlighted that the restrictions in shopping impact the mental health and psychology of consumers. The scale resulted in analyzing the factors related to shopping anxiety, which could give top management a perspective and vision to look into the minds of the consumer's shopping anxiety behaviors.Social implicationsCompanies, firms, health professionals and marketers could use this scale to investigate the various shopping anxiety perceptions among consumers in society.Originality/valueThis research fills the gap by developing a first nine-item scale based on the qualitative research and quantitative assessment for measuring shopping anxiety caused due to the pandemic.
