“…Second, perceived stress showed moderate to high positive correlations with the GHQ-12 total score and three subscales, further supporting the criterion validity of GHQ-12. These findings were consistent with previous studies ( Örücü and Demir, 2009 ; Gajula et al, 2021 ). It is thought that psychosocial stressors, such as living alone, social restrictions and isolation, financial burden, and loss of family members, that lead to heightened anxiety, fear, and anger, made a significant contribution to the higher level of stress experienced by patients with COVID-19 ( Torales et al, 2020 ; Matalon et al, 2021 ; Varman et al, 2022 ).…”

IntroductionThe present cross sectional study aimed to evaluate the construct and criterion validity, reliability, and gender and age differences of the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in 2020. The criterion validity was assessed via its link with perceived stress, sleep quality, daily life activities, and demographic and medical characteristics.MethodsA total of 328 COVID-19 patients (55.8% men; Mage = 50.49, SD = 14.96) completed the GHQ-12, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Activities of Daily Life (ADL)-Katz Scale, and the Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (IADL).ResultsAmong 13 factorial models, the three-factor model (successful coping, self-esteem, and stress) was shown to have the best fit. GHQ-12 was positively associated with PSQI, PSS, Hyperlipidemia, psychiatry disorders, hospitalization duration, the change in sleep time, and use of sleeping pills, and negatively correlated with educational level, and the number of family members. The GHQ-12 also had a negative correlation with ADL and IADL in over 60 years of age group. Females scored higher on total GHQ-12 scores, compared to males. Finally, the hospitalization duration was longer for patients over 60 (mean = 8.8 days, SD = 5.9) than patients under 60 (mean = 6.35 days, SD = 5.87).DiscussionOverall, the findings provided evidence that mental distress in patients with COVID-19 is correlated with high perceived stress, low sleep quality, low ADL and IADL, and a range of demographic features and medical conditions. Designing psychological interventions for these patients that target the aforementioned correlates of mental distress is warranted.

Introduction: Various studies have shown higher levels of stress and lower quality of life (QoL) among healthcare students compared to others. This study was done to assess the quality of life and perceived stress levels among nursing students and correlation between them. The symptoms in case of stress and coping strategy for stress were also studied. Methodology:All students studying in a nursing college in Central Karnataka were interviewed. WHO Qualtiy of Life-Bref (WHOQOL-BREF) scale and Perceived Stress scale (PSS-10) were used to assess the Quality of life and perceived stress levels respectively.Results: 175 students participated. Psychological domain and environment domain scores (55.6 and 53.8 respectively) were lower. Significant negative correlation was observed between all the domains of Quality of life and Stress scores. Majority (81.7%) of nursing students were under moderate stress. Conclusion:Efforts should be made to improve the Quality of life of nursing students. Effect of various better coping methods for stress should be researched and taught to them.
