Patients with COVID-19 under quarantine conditions represent a unique stratum of patients who are liable to extreme pressure due to the ramifications of COVID-19 infection in terms of physical, social and psychological wellbeing. The present study aimed to highlight the necessary measures needed to address anxiety, depression and other psychiatric symptoms for COVID-19 patients including coping strategies when placing patients under quarantine conditions. Methodology A cross-sectional quantitative study, Socio-demographic data were collected using three validated scales: PHQ-9, anxiety, and stress level. Multiple linear regression and logistic regression were performed to analyse the data. Results A total of 102 participant given the answer of the questionnaire. The mean age of study subjects 29.9± 10.2 years, the prevalence of depression was 79.4%, anxiety was 67.7% and the mean of stress level was 25.6± 17.9. Depression was significantly associated with anxiety Coef. 3.14 (95% CI: -0.05,6.32); p=0.05 and stress level Coef. 0.16 (95% CI: 0.07,0.26); p=0.001 both. Conclusion: Covid-19 may reinforce symptom severity and psychosocial stress in individuals with mental disorders. In times of pandemics, special support is needed to assist people with mental disorders and to prevent symptom deterioration. Keywords: COVID-19; Pandemic; Mental Health; Depression; Anxiety; Stress Level. What is already Known about the topic? • Rigorous research examining the stress, anxiety, and depression levels among COVID-19 patients • Research found that patients during the early stages of the pandemic experienced a higher prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression. What this paper adds • The potential risk factors related to COVID-19 and people suffering from existing MNS disorders • The participants who are divorced or widowed reported more depression levels as compared to a single or married • Professional patients were more likely to report depressive symptoms than nonprofessionals and office workers Implications The findings of this paper suggest that healthcare planning should incorporate mental health screenings in vulnerable communities, to raise public awareness about psychological instabilities and it should be thought about maintaining social emergencies in the future.","PeriodicalId":388899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology and Personality Disorders","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116545865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In applications of IRT, item fit investigation is typically conducted. To complement the existing well-known statistical significance test of item fit such as and, this study proposes and explores the utility of proportion agreement (PA), its refined version, PA2, and concordance index (CD), which are descriptive item fit measures equipped with efficient computation and easy understanding of the degree of item fit.

{"title":"CERVICAL CANCER AND HPV VACCINATION: FROM THE FEMALE HEALTH CARE WORKERS’ PERCEPTION","authors":"","doi":"10.56391/jppd.2022.1012","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56391/jppd.2022.1012","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Aim: Cervical cancer may be prevented by adequate and satisfactory preventive health services. Vaccination is one of the most useful primary care prevention applications. As the health care workers lead an important role in preventing cancers, it is crucial to focus on their knowledge and attitude and perception. This study aimed to evaluate knowledge levels on cervical cancer and HPV vaccination, perception and the attitude of female health care workers in our university hospital, thus contributing to vaccination and primary prevention researches and applications. Materials and Method: This cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was performed during 01st July-31st December, 2020. A questionnaire (prepared with the current literature knowledge) was applied to volunteer female health workers (doctors, nurses, other health personnel) who were working at Adnan Menderes University Hospital. Data were evaluated with the SPSS 22.0 package program. p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: The mean age of the participants was 31.1±6.8 years with a mean duration of work as 5.9±5.7 years The median knowledge score of the participants was 15 out of 22, 11, and 8 among doctors, nurses, and other health care personnel, respectively (p<0.001). All of the doctors, 31% of the nurses, and 44% of the other health personnel stated that they had recommended HPV vaccination to their social environment. Although ten participants (5 doctors and 5 nurses) had been vaccinated for HPV, all of the participants’ relatives were unvaccinated. Among participants, 65.9% of the doctors, 36.2% of the nurses and 23.5% of the allied health personnel stated that they were planning to recommend vaccination to their relatives. Conclusion: Despite the high levels of recommending HPV vaccine to their social environment, low rates of vaccinated participants and their relatives were determined in this study. The knowledge levels about cervical cancer and prevention methods of healthcare professionals should be increased with educational programs to affect their attitudes towards HPV vaccination. With increased knowledge, healthcare workers will be able to guide the society correctly and adequately, and vaccination rates can be increased among the community.

The present research among 500 adults from the five major ethnic groups in Suriname showed that in all groups the same parent-offspring conflict was observed as had been found previously in Argentina, Japan, Kurdistan, North America, the Netherlands, and Uruguay. This result provides additional support for the universal character of this type of conflict. In addition, the present research expanded previous work by showing that married individuals as well as individuals without a steady relationship perceived that their parents found a lack of parental investment and cooperation with the in-group more unacceptable a than those in a steady relationship and those living together, and that individuals living in the urban area perceived it as more unacceptable to the parents when their partner is characterized by a lack of parental investment and cooperation with the in-group than individuals living in rural areas.","PeriodicalId":388899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology and Personality Disorders","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132702918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
