“…96 Among the European countries, estimates of anxiety prevalence prior to COVID were: 3.8% in Serbia; 83 4.9% in Switzerland; 83 5% in Italy; 83 5.1% in Cyprus; 83 6.5% in Austria; 97 6.6% in Norway; 98 7.2% in the United Kingdom; 99 and 9.7% in Spain. 100 Russia and Germany both reported higher anxiety prevalences of 22.0% 93 and 19.0% 101 , respectively, in comparison to rates observed subsequent to the occurrence of COVID-19.…”

“…89 Within the European countries, reported prevalences of depression prior to COVID-19 include: 4.5% in the UK; 83 4.8% in Albania; 83 3.6-5% in Switzerland; 83,90 5.1% in Italy and Austria; 83 5.2% in Spain; 83 2.6-8.5% in Norway; 91 and 6.1-10.2% in Germany. 92 The only country to report potentially lower depression rates post-COVID-19 is Russia; however, pre-COVID-19 estimates range from 5.5% 83 to 31.2-37.8%, 93 a variation which may be the result of differing scales or methods for assessing depression. Overall, we observe a marked increase in depression prevalence in the post-COVID-19 era.…”

Background: COVID-19 physical distancing measures can potentially increase the likelihood of mental disorders. It is unknown whether these measures are associated with depression and anxiety. Objectives: To investigate meta-analytic global levels of depression and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic and how implementation of mitigation strategies (i.e. public transportation closures, stay-at-home orders, etc.) impacted such disorders. Data sources: Pubmed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, BIOSIS Citation Index, Current Content Connect, PsycINFO, CINAHL, medRxiv, and PsyArXiv databases for depression and anxiety prevalences; Oxford Covid-19 Government Response Tracker for the containment and closure policies indexes; Global Burden of Disease Study for previous levels of depression and anxiety. Study eligibility criteria: Original studies conducted during COVID-19 pandemic, which assessed categorical depression and anxiety, using PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scales (cutoff ≥ 10). Participants and interventions: General population, healthcare providers, students, and patients. National physical distancing measures. Study appraisal and synthesis methods: Meta-analysis and meta-regresssion. Results: In total, 226,638 individuals were assessed within the 60 included studies. Global prevalence of both depression and anxiety during COVID-19 pandemic were 24.0% and 21.3%, respectively. There was a wide variance in the prevalence of both anxiety and depression reported in different regions of the world and countries. Asia, and China particularly, had the lowest prevalence of both disorders. Regarding the impact of mitigation strategies on mental health, only public transportation closures increased anxiety prevalence. Limitations: Country-level data on physical distancing measures and previous anxiety/depression may not necessarily reflect local (i.e., city-specific) contexts. Conclusions and implications of key findings: Mental health concerns should not be viewed only as a delayed consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, but also as a concurrent epidemic. Our data provides support for policy-makers to consider real-time enhanced mental health services, and increase initiatives to foster positive mental health outcomes.

“…The widespread public belief that women are more nurturing and caring than men has served as a barrier discouraging men from considering a career in early childhood education [43]. Additionally, epidemiological studies have consistently reported that men and women experience depression in different ways due to such factors as biological (gender) differences, gender-based roles, and identity [44,45]. Therefore, the models should be assessed by gender, as the structures of the PHQ-9 may differ between males and females.…”

Factor Structure and Validity of the Korean Version of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 Among Early Childhood Teachers

Background: Depression is prevalent among teachers, particularly those in early childhood education. Thus, their depressive symptoms’ accurate assessment is important in both research and practice, and, for this purpose, the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) has shown considerable promise in depression screening and diagnosis. Although the PHQ-9 has been widely employed in both clinical and nonclinical settings, its validity among early childhood teachers in Korea is questionable, and its dimensionality remains controversial. This study’s purposes were thus to provide data on the factorial structure and psychometric properties of the PHQ-9’s Korean version and to investigate associations between the PHQ-9 and a corresponding psychiatric instrument, the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Methods: For this study, 252 early childhood teachers completed both the PHQ-9’s Korean version and the BDI-II. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to compare goodness-of-fit for four distinct factor models suggested by extant literature. Convergent validity was assessed by examining correlations between the PHQ-9 and the BDI-II. Results: A two-factor model with three items labeled “somatic” and six labeled “affective” provided the best fit. The scale’s convergent validity was supported by significant correlations with theoretically related measures, and its internal consistency was adequate. Conclusion: Overall, the results suggest that the PHQ-9’s Korean version is best conceptualized as a multidimensional measure of depression and confirms the PHQ-9 as a reliable assessment of depression among Korean early childhood teachers.

“…As such, girls and adult women may take the initiative to improve their socioeconomic status, life conditions, and health (Pratley 2016). Men could also be inspired to adopt more gender-egalitarian attitudes, which have been linked to lower levels of stress, anxiety, and depression among men (Jaehn et al 2020; Kim and Luke 2020).…”

Women’s Political Leadership and Adult Health: Evidence from Rural and Urban China

This study examined the role of women’s political leadership at the community level in China, a context that has experienced recent political and socioeconomic change and has a distinctive rural–urban divide. Drawing on longitudinal data from the China Family Panel Studies (N range = 40,918–52,406 person-year observations), we found that female community directors outnumbered male directors in urban China but were much less common in rural areas. Female community directors had higher levels of human capital regardless of rural or urban location. Residents living in female-directed communities reported better mental health but not physical health or life satisfaction compared to those living in male-directed communities, and this association was most robust among rural women. For rural women, the mental health benefit of living in female-directed communities was partially explained by reduced personal experience of gender discrimination, suggesting that female leadership fosters ideational change toward women that lowers discriminatory behaviors among constituents.
