“…The reliability results showed the alpha coefficient of EWB= 0,811, PWB= 0,809, and SWB= 0,729. The reliability of MHC-SF in Indonesia could be considered a good result since previous studies showed reliability between 0,7-0,8 in Setswana-South Africa version [4], Serbian version [18], Canadian English version [12], Philippine version [19], Netherlands adolescence version [20], and Italian version [21]. Presented reliability [8] did not present reliability based on the total scores, therefore the overall consistency remains unknown.…”

Mental Health Continuum-Short Form is a scale to measure positive mental health. This study aimed to compare the validity source of the MHC-SF in Setswana and Indonesia. A literature review was used as a method to explore the validity source of the MHC-SF. Both MHC-SF scales have a good content validity and good internal structure which showed by the Confirmatory Factor Analysis that fulfilled the good fit criterion, whereas three factors namely Emotional Well-Being, Social Well-Being, and Psychological Well-Being were found to be the best construct of MHC-SF. Both MHC-SF scales showed good response and consequences of testing. The MHC-SF in Setswana has good convergent validity compared to the MHC-SF in Indonesian. The limitation of this study only compared two studies from two countries. Therefore, the implication of this study suggests that the MHC-SF in the Indonesian needs further validation. The future study can expand validation from various countries.

“…In contrast, Aruta et al ( 2022 ) find how pandemics and disasters can also bring communities together and stimulate social cohesion, similar to traditional studies of disaster sociology that stress the important role of altruism in the wake of disasters. This study relates community resilience during Covid in the Philippines with resilience during frequent extreme weather events.…”

Iconic events have traditionally instigated progression in the fields of crisis and disaster science. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the pressing question is how this global health emergency impacted the research agendas of our field. We reviewed contributions in ten important crisis and disaster journals in the two and a half years following the COVID-19 outbreak from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2022. Specifically, we conducted a bibliometric review using thematic mapping analysis to distill the major themes covered by the emerging COVID-19 literature within crisis and disaster science (N = 239 articles). Our results indicate that several well-known topics are applied to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as risk, crisis communication, governance, resilience and vulnerability. The pandemic also gave rise to new topics, such as citizen behavior, state power, and the business and mental health impact of crisis measures. Several studies are already looking ahead by identifying lessons for preparedness and mitigation of future pandemics. By taking stock of the surge of COVID-19 studies while this academic literature is still taking shape, this review sets the stage for future contributions to the crisis and disaster literatures. It provides valuable lessons for what topics are studied and what themes need more attention. The COVID-19 pandemic is destined to become an iconic event for our literature that not only strengthens and deepens existing debates, but

“…To translate survey instruments to Filipino language, Aruta et al ( 2022a ) used double-translation and the reconciliation method, and enlisted experts to identify areas of linguistic, psychological and cultural equivalence. Another study by Aruta et al ( 2022b ) compared structural validity of three measurement models for mental health in their survey of typhoon survivors.…”

Low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) remained at elevated risk for the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic because of persistent stressors to their health systems. Simultaneously facing high infection rates, strict containment measures and natural disasters, the Philippines provides important grounds for health research in LMICs. This review examined how the COVID-19 pandemic affected mental and psychosocial health in the Philippines. This scoping review included literature in English from 2020 to mid-2022 from PubMed, PsycInfo and SCOPUS, and used the PRISMA-ScR and PCC-question model. Two independent reviewers conducted blind article screening and data extraction using COVIDENCE software, followed by consensus building, data charting and analyses. This work identified 405 publications across PubMed (N = 56), PsycInfo (N = 106) and SCOPUS (N = 243), of which 76 articles addressed the Philippines. Article types included 54 research articles, 10 opinion pieces, 4 literature reviews, 6 letters to journals, 1 study protocol and 1 other report. These findings focused primarily on health professionals (N = 23) and educators/learners (N = 22) and reported mostly on moderateto-severe clinical outcomes such as fear, depression, anxiety or stress. Coping behaviors, like resiliency and other ways of adapting to the pandemic, including religious, spiritual and community-oriented approaches highlighted experiences with stringent infection prevention and control measures to contain COVID-19 in the Philippines. The COVID-19 pandemic brought severe challenges to mental and psychosocial health in the Philippines. The literature focused mostly on healthcare workers and educators/learners, and moderate-to-severe mental health outcomes in these groups. There is a need to expand studies to other sociodemographic groups and communities across the Philippines. Future work stands to benefit from more in-depth qualitative, mixed methods, longitudinal and representative quantitative research in LMICs following this pandemic. Literature reviews remain important to synthesize postpandemic experiences by providing context for future studies and health practice in the Philippines and other LMICs. Impact statementThis scoping review of research literature found and described the emerging evidence base outlining comprehensive effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental and psychosocial health in the Philippines. This work addressed existing knowledge gaps by bringing light to literature that looked at concrete health outcomes such as anxiety and depression, as well as highlighting some of the daily stressors facing the population in an LMIC setting such as the Philippines. Specifically, this article reflects the literature that was published during the first 2 years of the pandemic and contributes substantially to providing an overview of what research was done during this time. This article's discussion anchors its findings in the country's local context. This body of literature largely documented the mental and psychosocial health impacts spe...
