COVID-19 Anxiety and Mental Health in Healthcare Workers: Examining the Role of Compassion Fatigue During the Last Wave of the Pandemic.

Objective: Pandemics have been shown to affect both physical and mental health, with healthcare workers (HCWs) bearing a particularly heavy burden. During the COVID-19 pandemic, HCWs faced a high volume of cases, extended work hours, and heightened pandemic-related stressors, which placed them at increased risk for mental health issues. This study examines the effects of COVID-19-related anxiety on HCWs' mental health, specifically exploring the roles of compassion fatigue (comprising burnout and secondary traumatic stress) as potential mediators in this relationship.

Attachment orientation and depression: A moderated mediation model of self-silencing and gender differences.

Background: While the effect of insecure attachment on depression is well established, findings pertaining to the relationship between specific attachment dimensions (anxious and avoidant) and depression are inconsistent. The role of interpersonal factors underlying this effect has been little explored. 'Silencing the Self', a socio-cognitive construct may provide important insights as a mediating pathway from insecure attachment to depression and help resolve the inconsistencies.

COVID-19 related fear and mental health in Indian sample: The buffering effect of support system.

The scientific world witnessed a surge of researches, from all corners of the world, regarding the humanitarian crisis precipitated by COVID-19 pandemic, more specifically its impact on people's mental health. However, researchers exploring the association between COVID-19 related fear and mental health are yet to understand the conditions through which potential benefits may occur. Many factors could buffer the effects of COVID-19 related fear on mental health; support system is probably the predominant one.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic: Furnishing experiences from India.

The current work seeks to address the issues and ramifications of the rapid spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in India. Ever since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, leading to a nationwide lockdown, a majority of people in India have faced a myriad of hardships, with mental health crisis being the most prominent one. The evidence at hand points toward an array of mental health issues in people that include a sense of uncertainty, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, panic attacks, and loneliness.

PTSD and depression in adult survivors of flood fury in Kashmir: The payoffs of social support.

Exposure to disasters such as floods predisposes individuals for psychological distress such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. Researchers exploring the association between flood-exposure and psychopathology attempt to understand the conditions and mechanisms through which potential benefits may occur. One such potential factor that may contribute to resilience in the face of disaster is social support system.

Religious Commitment and Well-Being in College Students: Examining Conditional Indirect Effects of Meaning in Life.

There is systematic and quantitative evidence that religious commitment is associated with indicators of well-being, such as positive emotions and moods, absence of negative emotions, and satisfaction with life; however, researchers remain far from a consensus regarding which mechanisms may account for these observed relationships. Although religious commitment influences well-being through many different mechanisms, meaning in life is probably the predominant one. Thus, we examined the bidimensional conceptualization of meaning in life as a potential mechanism between religious commitment and well-being.

Intolerance of uncertainty, depression, and anxiety: Examining the indirect and moderating effects of worry.

The present study sought to examine the indirect and moderating effects of worry between intolerance of uncertainty (IU) and symptoms of depression and anxiety. The study was a cross sectional study. Data were collected from 120 psychiatric patients, aged 22 to 37 years.

Negative affectivity, depression, and anxiety: Does rumination mediate the links?

Background: Negative affectivity (NA) is thought to be a vulnerability factor for depressive and anxiety symptoms; however, the mechanism through which this process takes place is yet to be fully ascertained. Rumination, a negative thought process, however, is believed a likely candidate in the association between NA and symptoms of depression and anxiety. Moreover, a thought-provoking advance in the understanding of rumination is the identification of a two-factor structure, with 'brooding' and 'reflection' as its subtypes.
