“…Dealing with special situations arising from the epidemic, such as quarantine, is an essential concern in the post-epidemic era. Previous studies have reported a variety of coping strategies, such as establishing harmonious interpersonal relationships, building a good community environment, and creating a good climate of public opinion ( 18 ). These external pillars have played an instrumental role in surmounting adversities amidst the pandemic ( 19 ).…”

ObjectiveThere is a notable research gap on the mental health challenges faced by hospital pharmacists in the post-pandemic era. Therefore, the present study aims to explore mental health status, influencing factors, coping strategies, and the mediating effect of resilience of home quarantine hospital pharmacists (HQHPs).MethodsAn embedded mixed-method study was conducted in Zhengzhou, a megalopolis in central China, from 20 October to 3 November 2022. For the qualitative study, semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were conducted among HQHPs to understand their mental health state，the factors that affect their mental health, and the alleviating strategies they used. For the quantitative study, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) and the Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-25) were used to explore the mental health level of HQHPs. Meanwhile, the mediating effect of resilience was explored and verified with the bootstrap method or the structural equation model.Results20 HQHPs participated in the qualitative study. Two themes were identified in terms of the factors that influenced the HQHPs’ mental health levels. The positive factors include optimism, family company, and connection with friends, while the negative factors include inadequate supplies, inadequate information, and other emergencies. 210 HQHPs participated in the quantitative study, with a median resilience score of 66 [55.75, 74] in the lowest score range and an anxiety score of 5 [2, 7] in the mild anxiety range. The correlation analysis showed that nine of the 10 influencing factors identified in qualitative research were positively correlated with CD-RISC-25 scores and negatively correlated with the GAD-7 score. The mediating effect of resilience on anxiety was significant (95% bootstrap CI [−1.818, −0.384], p<0.001; or 95% bootstrap CI [−1.174, −0.430], p<0.001).ConclusionEven in the post-epidemic era, hospital pharmacists face psychological challenges. They actively address these issues based on accumulated experience and a stabilized mindset. In this process, resilience plays a significant mediating role.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic has severely disrupted people's lives and has had a tremendous and deep effect on human life. The measures taken to prevent this disease, such as various forms of physical distancing, quarantine, have caused a mental health crisis around the world [ 4 – 6 ]. However, the severity of the problems caused by the pandemic has not been the same for all people, some groups are more vulnerable such as women during pregnancy and postpartum due to their special physical and psychological needs.…”

“…Several qualitative studies in different countries such as Australia, Turkey, Ireland, Canada, and Iran have also investigated various aspects of COVID-19 in mothers [ 24 – 30 ]. Given the extent of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is predicted that people's mental health will be affected by its direct and indirect psychological effects both presently and in the future [ 4 , 31 , 32 ]. As the world slowly regains control of COVID-19, it is timely and essential to explore the impact of COVID-19 on mental health, especially among vulnerable populations, around the world [ 33 ].…”

Background As crises occur, attention to physical health usually becomes more than mental health, neglecting mental health, especially in some vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and new mothers, can have adverse consequences. Therefore, it is imperative to recognize and comprehend their mental health needs, particularly during critical situations such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to explain the understanding and experience of mental health concerns faced by pregnant and postpartum women during this pandemic. Methods This qualitative study was conducted from March 2021 to November 2021 in Iran. Data were collected using semi-structured in-depth interviews to understand mental health concerns in pregnancy and the postpartum period during the COVID-19 pandemic. Twenty-five purposefully retrieved and participated in the study. Due to the prevalence of coronavirus, most of the participants preferred tele interviews. When data saturation was achieved, the data were codified manually and analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman’s approach 2004. Results Based on the content analysis of the interviews, 2 main themes, 8 categories 23 subcategories were identified. The identified themes were as follows: (1) Maternal mental health threats and (2) Inadequate access to the required information. Conclusion The results of this study showed that the main concern and fear of pregnant and postpartum women in the COVID-19 pandemic was the fear of the possibility of death for themselves and/or their fetus/infant. The knowledge that was obtained from the understanding of pregnant women and new mothers about the mental health concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic can help managers in planning to improve and promote women's mental health, especially in critical situations.

There is a substantial body of evidence on how important it is for adolescents’ wellbeing to engage in meaningful activities such as drama classes. The aim of this study is to assess whether the wellbeing and self-concept of young people who choose to take part in drama activities are significantly different from those adolescents who do not. A group of 198 subjects between the ages of 14 and 20 years participated in the study. The results showed some significant differences in certain wellbeing components – environmental mastery and personal growth – in favour of drama students. One of the most relevant results was the finding of important gender differences in the impact of drama experience on adolescents’ psychological wellbeing and self-concept. Drama girls showed higher levels of self-acceptance, environmental mastery and global wellbeing than non-drama girls. The study also revealed better academic, social and physical self-concepts. These results are discussed in terms of their educational implications in adolescence.
