“…Their tragedy and loss bring them an important position in society by perpetuating a culture of martyrdom, which can hinder recovery. Conversely, survivors who are severely traumatized, including former prisoners of war, are considered less valuable and rank lower on the heroism scale, resulting in reduced possibilities of social recognition, support, and respect [110].…”

Numerous studies on the health and functioning of veterans and former prisoners of war have shown that the experience of war captivity is one of the most difficult human experiences. Captivity is often characterized by extremely difficult and inhumane conditions, as well as exposure to various forms of both psychological and physical abuse. Such traumatic experiences can lead to serious psychological consequences that can last for years, even decades after release from captivity. The aim of this paper is to present a brief overview of research that points to the specifics of wartime captivity and the long-term psychological consequences in veterans of former camp detainees, as well as the consequences suffered by their families and factors that, apart from the intensity of the trauma, contribute to the emergence and persistence of psychological disorders. From the presented research, it can be concluded that former prisoners of the camp represent an extremely vulnerable group of the social community and require long-term appropriate treatment, while the needs of veterans’ families should not be neglected, with the necessity of including spouses and children in psychological and psychosocial treatments.

“…Family support is paramount to students during COVID-19, as it covers environmental support, emotional support, and capability support [ 21 ]. Nevertheless, the Asian culture of stigmatizing and discriminating against those with mental issues needs to be addressed, as it could become a recovery barrier and hamper recovery post-COVID-19 [ 22 ].…”

Background: The coronavirus disease discovered in 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted the health behaviour of university students in a range of western nations and had a number of detrimental effects on their mental wellbeing. However, little is known about the impact on university students in Southeast Asia, particularly in Brunei. This study aims to estimate the prevalence and factors related to poor mental wellbeing and engaging in health-risk behaviors among university students in Brunei during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey of students in all public universities was conducted from March to June 2021. Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale, Global Physical Activity Questionnaire, and WHO STEPs questionnaires were used to measure mental wellbeing, physical activity, and health behaviors, respectively. Logistic regressions were applied. Results: A total of 1020 university students participated in this study (57% response rate). Prevalence of poor mental wellbeing and physical inactivity were 30% and 42.8%, respectively. Excessive snacking (89.7%), sugar intake (81.7%), and salt intake (53.8%) were the most prevalent health-risk behaviors. Body mass index and participating in sports activities were the most common factors related to mental wellbeing and health-risk behaviors. Conclusions: Participating in certain sports activities appears to have protective effects against study outcomes. However, a high prevalence of physical inactivity and unhealthy diet among university students is a concern, as it could be indicative of future non-communicable disease trends.

“…These findings provide evidence that medical teams are also a vulnerable mental health population, despite the fact that research often focuses more attention on the people they treat. They are a clear example of miss-recognition or dis-recognition of the difficulties/pain/trauma also experienced by other types of communities in different contexts [62].…”

et al. 2022

In December 2019, a new virus called SARS-CoV-2 appeared, and the disease it produced was named COVID-19. After the pandemic situation was declared by the World Health Organization in March 2020, an increasing worsening of the mental health of the population, especially healthcare professionals, became apparent. To determine the psychosocial impact of the pandemic on healthcare professionals in Spain, a longitudinal study was conducted at two time points separated by 5 weeks (n time 1 = 169; n time 2 = 65). Participants completed an online questionnaire assessing depression, anxiety, and stress (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, DASS-21), burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory—MBI), resilience (Brief Resilience Scale—BRS), and health-related quality of life (SF-36 Health Questionnaire). The results showed high levels of depression, anxiety, stress, and burnout, as well as moderate levels of resilience and low levels of quality of life at the first assessment. Resilience was negatively related to negative experiences, and positively related to the quality of life, also at the first assessment. Overall, there was an improvement in the mental health of healthcare professionals when comparing the two assessments. In this improvement, having COVID-19 in the first assessment had a positive effect on perceived mental health in the second assessment.
