“…Countries such as Iran with delayed vaccination experienced the fth surge of this infection, with cumulative con rmed deaths of 122, 197 people (2). The negative effect of COVID-19 on different aspects of physical health and well-being and mental health (increasing anxiety and depression) have been proven in other studies (3)(4).…”

Background: There is some evidence about alteration of sex hormones in patients with COVID-19 infection. This study aimed to evaluate the levels of sex hormones in female and male patients with COVID-19 during hospitalization and one month after discharge. Methods: The levels of sex hormones including estradiol, progesterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), total testosterone, and free testosterone were measured in 162 female and male patients with COVID-19 infection during hospitalization and one month after discharge. A demographic questionnaire and a checklist were used to collect the data. The ANCOVA test was used to compare the level of hormones in patients with severe and moderate disease. Results: In the primary assessment, 162 patients were assessed for serum levels of sex hormones, while a month after discharge, only 69 patients provided consent for assessment, and nine had passed away. During hospitalization, female patients with severe disease had an elevated level of estradiol (407.70±623.37 pg/mL) in comparison to those with a moderate disease (213.78±407.17 pg/mL). The levels of progesterone and LH were high during hospitalization, but there was a decrease in these levels after discharge. The reduction in the level of FSH in patients with severe disease was greater than in patients with moderate disease, which increased after discharge. While the level of testosterone decreased during hospitalization, the alteration of free testosterone was negligible in male patients.Conclusion: In this study, we observed alteration in sex hormones (increased level of estrogen, progesterone, LH and reduction in the level of FSH and total testosterone) in female and male patients, with the alteration being greater in the latter. Due to the attrition of patients in follow-up period, more studies are needed to confirm these results.

“…A previous study conducted in Iran revealed that age related to cognitive decline, lower levels of functioning in real life, and older adults' QoL [37]. In addition, impairments in older adults with disabilities have previously been associated with reduced social isolation, social interaction, and loneliness [11,38].…”

“…A recent study on the QoL of people with disabilities in various countries revealed that the QoL of these populations was a significant reduction during the COVID-19 outbreak [10][11][12]. Older adults had a lower QoL score than the other aged groups, which is negatively affected during the social distancing of the crisis [13].…”

“…However, recent research indicates that activity participation decreased during the COVID-19 outbreak [16,17]. It has been discovered that a reduction in movement and activities, as well as social interaction, is associated with physical and mental health problems, such as physical activity, insomnia, and health-related quality of life [11].…”

Suffering during events such as the COVID-19 pandemic threatens the quality of life (QoL) of older adults with physical and mobility disabilities. This study aims to determine the QoL of older Thai adults with such disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic and its predictor. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 360 older adults with physical and mobility disabilities. Data were collected by structured interview questionnaires. Data analyses comprised Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. The mean age of the participants was 73.52 years; a total of 58.6% of them were female and 97.8% had completed only primary education. More than half of them had a moderate QoL (63.3%). Self-esteem, age, and perception of the benefits of disability were found to be associated with the participants’ QoL (p < 0.05) and capable of predicting it with 54.7% accuracy. As self-esteem and the perception of the benefits of disability were found to be indicators of the QoL of older adults with physical and mobility disabilities, the healthcare providers of such older adults should organize activities that could enhance their self-esteem and the perception of the benefits of disability to improve their QoL, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…HRD's emphasis on building capabilities and increasing performance may aid organizations in identifying methods to increase workers' adaptive performance by offering learning and development opportunities and altering corporate culture and practices. More studies on HRD research is required to better understand workers' adaptable performance and to aid businesses in improving their employees' adaptive performance to survive and prosper (Park, & Park, 2019;Dai et al, 2021). However, despite the importance of adaptive performance in performance enhancement, as demonstrated by the "Strategic HR" literature, which consistently found connections between packages of HR practices and various indices of firm performance, the function of organizational HRM practices as predictor variables of adaptive performance remains underexplored (Tabiu et al, 2020).…”

Assessing the employees’ efficiency and adaptive performance for sustainable human resource management practices and transactional leadership: HR-centric policies for post COVID-19 era

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The utilization of sustainable organizational human resource management (HRM) practices as predictors of adaptive performance has received little attention, despite the importance of adaptive performance in improving organizational efficiency. This study explores the relationship between HRM activities (training, performance appraisal, job enlargement, employee involvement, and work enrichment) and employees’ adaptive performance using the resource-based view (RBV) theory. It also looked into the role of transactional leadership in regulating these correlations to draw up the policies for the post-pandemic era. A quantitative study is conducted and a questionnaire was distributed randomly among the Ministry of Health of the Sultanate of Oman and 233 people have participated in the questionnaire survey. PLS-SEM was utilized to analyze the data. In this study, performance appraisal, job enlargement training, and work enrichment all have a considerable influence on employees’ adaptive performance. Furthermore, transactional leadership moderates the linkage between job enrichment and employee adaptive performance. As a result, the higher the organization’s attention on certain HR policies, the better their adaptive performance. HR practices are important predictors of adaptive performance; thus, managers and practitioners should take into account workers’ adaptability to encourage more adaptive behavior in the workplace. This article further discusses the study’s weaknesses as well as future research directives on HRM practices and adaptive performance.
