Prenatal Attachment and Mental Well-Being Among Expectant Fathers Amidst COVID-19: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant threats to global physical and mental health, notably impacting the psychological management of pregnancy. The mental health of parents plays a critical role in fostering the emotional bond with their unborn child, referred to as prenatal attachment.

Translation and validation of the Turkish forms of the International Depression Questionnaire (IDQ) and the International Anxiety Questionnaire (IAQ).

Background: The 11th version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) included revised formulations of single episode depressive disorder (DD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Consequently, the International Depression Questionnaire (IDQ) and International Anxiety Questionnaire (IAQ) have been developed as self-report measures which directly align with the ICD-11 description of DD and GAD, respectively.

Objective: The current study sought to (1) test the factorial validity of the Turkish translations of the IDQ and IAQ, (2) evaluate their internal reliability, (3) determine how meeting diagnostic requirements for ICD-11 DD and ICD-11 GAD vary across different demographic variables, and (4) determine the convergent validity of the Turkish translations of the IDQ and IAQ.

Intolerance of uncertainty, rumination, post-traumatic stress symptoms and aggression during COVID-19: a serial mediation model.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic can be identified as a source of traumatic stress. Previous studies have shown that post-traumatic stress and intolerance of uncertainty are associated with aggressive behaviour.

Objective: In the present study, we aimed to test a serial mediation model, considering rumination and post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) as mediators that link intolerance of uncertainty and aggression, while controlling the confounding effect of crisis-induced health and socioeconomic stressors during the COVID-19 pandemic.
