“…Abuhammad et al (2022), in their study in Jordan, showed that women's DASS scores are higher than men during COVID-19. These findings are consistent with extant literature (Bobevski et al, 2016;Özdin & Bayrak Özdin, 2020;Lathabhavan, 2021). Epidemiological studies have consistently reported gender differences in mental health (Matud et al, 2020).…”

The fear of the COVID-19 pandemic is associated with negative effects on mental health. The study investigates depression, anxiety, and stress and their relationship to gender among hospitality sector employees in the USA during COVID-19. Fear has been one of the most common psychological responses in the population during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study is to examine its relationship with depression, anxiety, and stress to combat the fear of COVID-19 between the gender. The study was conducted using an online questionnaire. A sociodemographic data form, the Fear of COVID-19 scale, and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) were used for data collection. In total, 341 valid questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS version 24. The results showed that the fear of COVID-19 positively and significantly impacted stress (Coeff = .4992, 95% confidence interval (CI): .4409-.5575), anxiety (Coeff = .4825, 95% CI: .4245-.5405), and depression (Coeff = . 4601, 95% CI: .3992-.5210), and these effects differed according to gender. The effects of the fear of COVID-19 on stress and anxiety were higher in women compared with men. This cross-sectional study shows that the psychological effects of the fear of COVID-19 are more significant in women than in men. The study makes significant contributions to the literature in terms of showing the gender differences related to COVID-19 within the hospitality sector. Therefore, women should be prioritized in future psychiatric recovery plans.

Furthermore, a recent meta-analysis conducted by Wang et al .…”

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) continues to be a highly stressful event with a major impact on psychological mental health worldwide. The use of different coping strategies may change the perception of psychological well-being during the pandemic. The present study aims to explore psychological mental health in relation to sociodemographic variables and to analyze the coping strategies of the Italian population in dealing with COVID-19. Implications for clinical interventions are reported. A total of 537 individuals (>18) participated in the survey completing measures of sociodemographic data, general psychological well-being, and coping strategies. Results found that females, students, and unmarried people reported the lowest levels of well-being. Specifically, the coping strategy called positive attitude was positively correlated with psychological well-being, whereas avoidance and social support strategies negatively influenced well-being. Understanding beneficial coping strategies is central to optimally manage the long-lasting of the current COVID-19 situation and may be useful for mental health professionals in treating patients suffering psychologically from the pandemic.

“…The practical and societal implications of the study are significant as the research is connected to mental health of people during the pandemic (Lathabhavan, 2021b ; Tandon, 2020 ).

“…Anxiety is a feeling of tension, worry, and physical changes such as increased blood pressure, sweating, trembling, dizziness, or a rapid heartbeat (Moghanibashi-Mansourieh, 2020 ). Stress can be described as individuals perceiving events as threatening or harmful while simultaneously not being equipped with sufficient resources for coping (Lathabhavan, 2021b ). Financial issues seem to affect people adversely and induce depression, anxiety, and stress in difficult times (Mamun et al, 2020 ).…”

The study examines the relationship between pandemic-induced financial distress and mental health of entrepreneurs in India. A cross-sectional research design was used, and a survey was conducted among 816 small-scale entrepreneurs of diverse business entities. Structural equation modeling was performed to analyze the data. Both economic hardship and financial threat reported significant positive relationships with depression, anxiety, and stress. Financial wellbeing was found to be negatively related with depression, anxiety, and stress. The study stands among pioneers who have investigated the mental health issues among entrepreneurs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study provides holistic implications by recommending a collective mechanism that involves individuals, governments, and institutions, for helping small business entrepreneurs cope with the situation, avoid trauma, and have a positive mental health. Future studies can focus on longitudinal data collection to provide better accuracy and consistency.
