Resilience, Satisfaction with Life and Anxiety in the Israeli Population after Mass Vaccination for COVID-19.

Objectives: The current study aimed to examine the relationships between resilience and personal characteristics such as socio-economic status, employment, satisfaction with life, and anxiety, during the period of returning to routine life after mass vaccination for COVID-19.

Method: 993 Israeli participants, 52% female and 48% male, with a mean age of 40 years (18 to 89 years old) responded to an online questionnaire during March 2021. We hypothesized that (1) unemployed individuals and those with a low SES would have lower resilience, lower satisfaction with life and higher anxiety, (2) individuals who were ill with COVID-19 would have lower resilience and satisfaction with life and a higher level of anxiety, and (3) a higher resilience would be related to a lower level of anxiety.

Uncovering Resilience Disparities among Religious Groups in Israel's Mass COVID-19 Vaccination Drive: Lessons Learned to the Post-COVID Era.

The aim of the current study was to examine the emotional resilience, satisfaction with life, social support, and anxiety during the vaccination process of the Israeli population after the end of the third lockdown, according to religiosity degree. We hypothesized that a higher degree of religiosity (ultra-Orthodox and religious participants) would be associated with higher levels of resilience and with lower levels of anxiety than in secular individuals. In addition, it was hypothesized that satisfaction with life, social support, anxiety, and religiosity will predict resilience and anxiety.

Patient's evaluations and expectations of primary care medicine in Israel revisited after two decades - Health Service Research.

Background: The European Task Force on Patient Evaluations of General Practice's (EUROPEP) internationally-validated questionnaire measures patients' satisfaction with their primary care physicians. A study published in 1999 showed positive evaluations of primary care among patients across Europe and included 1603 Israeli patients. Major changes have taken place during the past 20 years, in Israel's society, in the healthcare system, and particularly in primary care clinics.
