“…Their satisfaction with contact or communication with friends and satisfaction with time used to choose purposeful activities protected their SWB (Table 4 ). These results were in contrast with findings from a study with adults in Israel that showed increasing negative feelings of participants from three phases of data collection: before COVID-19, during the lockdown, and after the lockdown (Shavit et al, 2021 ). Results of the current study indicated that children and adolescents are able to activate buffers to protect themselves from increasing negative affect during the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

This paper examines the subjective well-being (SWB) of children and adolescents (10‒18 years old) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia for two periods (May to July 2020 and March to May 2021), using cross-sectional data from two distinct samples of N = 1,011 ( M age = 14.61) and N = 1,640 ( M age = 14.86), respectively. Its aims are twofold: (1) to examine the state of SWB among Indonesian children, including its cognitive component (measured using the CW-SWBS), positive affect (PA), and negative affect (NA), and the participants’ satisfaction with their contact with friends and how they spend their time; and (2) to compare the evolution of these SWB-related aspects from the first to the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected using Google Forms and convenience and snowball sampling. Results showed that boys displayed significantly higher mean SWB scores than girls, while elementary students displayed significantly higher mean scores for the cognitive component than middle and high school students for both data collection periods. Boys also displayed significantly higher mean PA scores than girls. There were significant school grade differences on PA and NA, depending on the period of study. In the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, children and adolescents displayed lower scores on satisfaction with their contact with friends than in the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic. These results suggest that children and adolescents adapted to the COVID-19 situation during the second year, and this adaptation protected their SWB from further decrease, as defended by the homeostasis theory.

“…EWB is defined as the emotional quality of an individual’s everyday experience in terms of frequencies and intensities of experiences of joy, stress, sadness, anger, and affection [ 4 ]. Studies of the psychological status of populations in different countries during the COVID-19 pandemic revealed relatively high levels of depression, anxiety, stress, and psychological distress [ 5 ]. The crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic is multidimensional, where losses and threats to health are accompanied by losses and threats to individuals’ economic and social resources.…”

“…Numerous studies devoted to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on EWB in different countries have been published during the last year [ 2 , 3 , 5 ]. However, most of them confirm a negative pandemic impact on the EWB of the whole population without distinguishing between majority and minority groups, and studies of minorities focus mostly on the incidence of cases and death rates among them.…”

This paper used Hobfoll’s conservation of resources theory as a theoretical framework to investigate which kinds of resource loss predicted the emotional well-being (EWB) of ethnic minorities and majority populations during a period of crisis. Data were collected from a national representative survey conducted by the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample included 1157 respondents, including 174 Israeli Palestinian citizens (ethnic minority) and 983 Israeli Jews (majority population). Measures of EWB, actual losses and threats of losses of economic, social, and health resources were examined. The results showed that the losses of economic, social, and health resources reduced the EWB of individuals. Negative effects of the actual losses of resources on EWB were greater than those of the perceived threats of loss. The largest effect was for economic resources. There were differences in effects between the ethnic minorities and the majority populations. The study revealed that for the ethnic minorities, who are less powerful and more disadvantaged than ethnic majorities, the depletion of already deficient resources during time of crisis is more important for predicting their EWB than for the majority populations.

“…Dentistry was required to discontinue its routine function during the first lockdown. However, Israel faced relatively few waves of the pandemic; the lockdown and inter-lockdown periods are already adequately described in general but without specifically analyzing orthodontics [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ].…”

The current study aimed to characterize the activity in orthodontic clinics during the COVID-19-induced lockdown and the inter-lockdown periods, as well as to evaluate patients’ perspectives with respect to their fears, their extent of cooperation with treatment, and their emergency needs during the lockdown. The data were gathered from 11 private orthodontic clinics from 1 January 2020 to 8 March 2021, which included three lockdowns and inter-lockdowns. Information specifying the number of admissions, missed appointments, and emergency visits was gathered. Four hundred and twenty-nine orthodontic patients treated in those clinics agreed to complete a questionnaire that evaluated their concerns and expectations, the treatment emergency issues, implementation of the orthodontist’s instructions, and contact with the clinical staff during lockdowns. There was a significant increase in the number of scheduled appointments during the inter-lockdown periods, compared with the pre-pandemic period (p = 0.001). No difference in the number of missed/canceled or emergency appointments was found between the different periods (p > 0.420). The majority (89.6%) of the emergency visits involved issues with appliances; 68.7% of the subjects were advised to present themselves at clinics. During the peaks of the waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, a sharp rise in the number of missed and urgent appointments was not found. Reducing the number of orthodontic emergencies may assist in reducing patient fears.
