“…The cross-sectional design, with a subjective perception by the patients about worsening or improvement on migraine days, cannot be compared with previous and present data since neither used a migraine diary to assess the reliability of provided answers. Hence, a few publications using a migraine diary were performed in Latin American countries, including Chile and Argentina [ 22 ].…”

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, confinement, fear, lifestyle changes, and worldwide health care impacted almost all diseases. Reports from countries outside Latin America revealed differences in migraine patients. In this study, we describe and compare the immediate changes in migraine symptoms associated with COVID-19 quarantine in patients from Argentina, Mexico, and Peru. An online survey was conducted from May to July 2020. The survey was answered by 243 migraine patients, with questions related to sociodemographic data, quarantine conditions, changes in working conditions, physical activity, coffee intake, healthcare access, acute migraine medication use, symptoms of anxiety, depression, and fear of COVID-19. The results show that 48.6% of migraine patients experienced worsened symptoms, 15.6% improved, and 35.8% remained unchanged. Worsening migraine symptoms were associated with staying at home during the lockdown. Intake of analgesics was associated with an increase in migraine symptoms of 18 times relative to those who did not increase their intake. Migraine symptoms improved when the number of sleep hours was increased, and we observed an improvement when patients decreased analgesic intake. The uncertainty about the end of the pandemic, the news, and social media are three items that contributed to the worsening of migraine symptoms in patients in the three investigated countries. Confinement during the first pandemic wave in Latin America harmed migraine patients who stayed home during the lockdown.

“…However, findings from this study and others provide implications for practitioners seeking to promote family flourishing during times of stability as well as upheaval. First, it is important to recognize that experiencing major stressors is likely to increase negative processes in relationships, including hostility, withdrawal, and less responsive support (Andrade et al, 2022). In the present study, stressor pileup was associated with lower couple relationship satisfaction and, in turn, higher stress for parents.…”

ObjectiveThe goal was to explore mechanisms linking cumulative stressors with parent stress during COVID‐19.BackgroundPublic health measures helped contain COVID‐19 spread, but disrupted family life and increased parents' stress. Positive family relationships and beliefs about the impact of challenges can foster psychological resilience during adversity and may influence parents' stress.MethodParticipants included parents from the U.S. sample of the internet‐based Covid Family Life Study survey who indicated they were married or living with a romantic partner (n = 1,386). We tested a moderated mediation model predicting parent stress from the pileup of stressors, family and couple relationship satisfaction, and parent resilience beliefs.ResultsHigh stressor pileup was associated with lower family and couple relationship satisfaction, and higher parent stress. Relationship satisfaction mediated the effect of stressor pileup on parent stress, and the indirect effects were similar across all levels of parent resilience beliefs. Family satisfaction mediated the effect of stressor pileup on parent stress only for parents with low resilience beliefs. Parent resilience beliefs moderated the relations between relational well‐being and parent stress. Higher family satisfaction was associated with lower stress for parents with low and moderate levels of resilience beliefs, but higher stress for parents with high resilience beliefs.ConclusionRelationship satisfaction may explain how stressor pileup affects parent stress. Resilience beliefs may affect the explanatory role of family satisfaction.ImplicationsInterventions to improve family satisfaction may be most impactful for parents who have low confidence in their ability to adapt to change and bounce back from adversity.

“…Additionally, financial difficulties can have an impact on the family dynamics and relationships, which are crucial for adolescents' well-being (van Harmelen et al ., 2016). Ample studies have shown that the current pandemic has brought financial constraints on families resulting in negative connotations on students’ health (Andrade, Gillen, Molina, & Wilmarth, 2022; Kim et al ., 2022; Rodrigues, Silva, & Franco, 2021). Students’ perceive a lack of family support due to frustration and unfriendly home environment which makes them reluctant to vent out their feelings leading to poor mental health tendencies (Yu et al ., 2015).…”

PurposeCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to unprecedented mental health repercussions in the lives of every individual including university students. Therefore, study on students’ psychological state and its associated factors during the pandemic are of importance. This study aims to discuss the aforementioned issue.Design/methodology/approachAn online survey was done on a total of 207 university students of Pakistan to collect information on socio-demographic characteristics, concerns or fears amidst COVID-19 and mental distress. Validated tools; Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)-Depression were used to assess stress, anxiety and depression, respectively.FindingsAround 14% of the university students were experiencing severe stress and anxiety, while 8.2% had severe depression. The authors found that stress among university students was related to psychiatric illness or symptoms (OR = 5.1: 1.1, 22.9) and unpredictability due to the pandemic (OR = 3.7: 1.2, 11.2). The significant determinants of anxiety were psychiatric illness/symptoms (OR = 6.6: 3.4, 12.9), implementation of public health measures (OR = 3.7: 1.1, 11.6), employed mothers (OR = 2.4: 1.1, 5.0) and lack of support from university administration (OR = 2.2: 1.0, 5.0). While the factors associated with depression included psychiatric illness or symptoms (OR = 8.4: 3.3, 21.5), unpredictability due to pandemic (OR = 6.8: 2.2, 20.7), impaired social support system (OR = 3.7: 1.3, 10.4) and studying without a scholarship (OR = 2.1: 1.0, 4.4).Research limitations/implicationsThese findings call for an urgent need to develop appropriate interventions and educational programs that could address the psychological needs of students.Practical implicationsThe study directs the role of university and faculty in dealing the mental health needs of the student in COVID-19 pandemic time.Social implicationsEducational programs are important that could address the psychological needs of students in COVID-19 pandemic.Originality/valueUniversity students reported mental distress during COVID-19 pandemic which shows that younger people are at risk of COVID-19 repercussions. Moreover, several stressors (i.e. impaired social support system and lack of support from universities) were revealed that could be mitigated by implementing appropriate strategies.
