“… Hindmarch (1998) found that anxious individuals will have cognitive biases and cannot perceive things correctly, which verified the deterioration model. Existing empirical research found that perceived social support can mediate the relationship between anxiety and life satisfaction ( Yu et al, 2020 ), quality of life ( Kugbey et al, 2020 ; Yang and Lu, 2022 ), and depression ( Dour et al, 2014 ). However, less research has been done on the relationship between SSA (as a component of social support) and anxiety or depression.…”

IntroductionAnxiety often precedes depression, and the pathway from anxiety to depression may be affected by multiple exposures. Our research aims to explore the mediating effect of the social support availability (SSA) between anxiety and depression and how it is moderated by psychological capital.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among Chinese emergency physicians at the top-level general hospitals in eastern China. Data were collected via the questionnaire including anxiety and depression subscales of Symptom Checklist-90, Psychological Capital Questionnaire as well as Social Support Rating Scale. The PROCESS v3.4 macro was employed to assess the mediating role of SSA and a moderating role of psychological capital.ResultsA total of 536 valid samples were filtered. Anxiety, depression, SSA, and psychological capital were significant correlated. Anxiety was positively associated with depression (β = 0.82, p < 0.001), and the SSA mediated the relationship between anxiety and depression (indirect effect = 0.013, 95%BootCI [0.005, 0.023]). Psychological capital (specifically, self-efficacy, hope and resilience) further played a moderating role in the relationship between SSA and depression (β = 0.06, p < 0.01).ConclusionThe mental health of emergency physicians should be concerned. In order to decrease anxiety and depression, SSA and psychological capital should be increased as the interventions for emergency physicians.

“…In particular, LBC who are the only children of the family tend to have greater expectations, leading to higher susceptibility to behavioral, mental, and even academic issues (Wang and Guo, 2010). LBC also tend to experience heavier social anxiety (Wu et al, 2019;Yang et al, 2022 ). Research on the separation of LBC also demonstrated that those who were left behind earlier in their life are more prone to depression and anxiety (Liu et al, 2009), with the impacts being greater when the mother migrates.…”

The parental separation among left-behind children in China imposes a huge burden on their mental health and well-being. These children, living alone while their parents migrate for work, suffer from severely undermined health and interpersonal relationships, including increased susceptibility to depression, emotional and behavioral problems, anxiety, and aversive states such as loneliness. Fortunately, extensive research has identified protective factors against these negative impacts, such as resilience, self-esteem, and psychological capital. Positive psychology, a field of study that focuses on promoting the “goods” to increase the flourishing of people, can be a breakthrough source of solution that boosts these factors. This research protocol aims to examine a multi-component positive psychological intervention – Injoy – on promoting the well-being of middle-school-aged left-behind children in China through measuring subjective well-being, depressive symptoms, mental health, self-esteem, resilience, and psychological capital before and after the implementation of the eight-week internet-based intervention.

“…Compared to non-left-behind children, left-behind children not only have less opportunity to get taught but also get less care fro their parents in the interpersonal skills aspect. Thus, their cooperation skills cultivate much slower and have more obstacles when learning it [10].…”

Both the number of migrant workers and the number of kids being left behind have substantially increased since the programme was opened up. This study attempts to show how parental migration affects children who are left behind and explore the causes of such negative effects. It turns out that when parents move away, it has a variety of repercussions on the children who are left behind, including their emotional health, academic performance, level of cooperation, and cognitive development. Governments must play a crucial role towards enhancing the living conditions for children who have been left behind in rural areas. This includes providing more opportunities for migrant workers to reunite with their families, providing greater opportunities and time for parents to watch their children, and emphasising relative caring policies in teachers' daily lesson plans. Rural families also have to change their mindset for degrees, and giving more expectations of their children’s learning.
