There was increase in psychological issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, alcoholism, and problematic eating behaviors which resulted in conflicts and breakdown in relationships. Aim and Objectives: The present cross-sectional exploratory study investigated how individuals in romantic dating relationships have coped during the times of COVID-19. The objectives were to examine the stressors faced by romantic dating couples during the pandemic, the differences among them with respect to dyadic coping, conflict, and resolution strategies employed. Materials and Methods: A total of 232 individuals (males = 104, females = 128) were assessed on a semi-structured Stressor Checklist, the Dyadic Coping Inventory, and Romantic Partner Conflict Scale. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, ANOVA, and Tukey's honestly significant difference were calculated. Results: 45% of participants reported growing closer to their partners during the pandemic; others reported strained relationships or break-ups. Distance, difficulty in in-person meetings, reduced communication emerged as the most reported stressors among participants. Dyadic coping was found to be significantly better in the closer group than in the strained group or the break-up group (t = −1.89,P< 0.05). Stress communication by partner was found to be significantly better in closer couples (t = −2.38,P< 0.01). With respect to conflict resolution, significant differences were found among the three groups on compromise (r = 0.459,P< 0.01) avoidance (r = 0.224,P< 0.01), interactional reactivity (r= −0.446,P< 0.01), domination (r = −0.223,P< 0.01), and submission (r = −0.491,P< 0.01). No difference was found among the groups on separation (r = −0.07; NS). Conclusion: Individuals who found themselves in strained relationships or breakups during COVID-19 attributed negative outcome in relationship to factors internal to the relationship. Individuals with positive relationship outcomes engaged in positive dyadic coping; conflict resolution strategies employed by them were positive. The limitations, mental health implications and suggestions for further research have been discussed.","PeriodicalId":484047,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of psychiatric nursing","volume":"268 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135401026","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}

Specific remarks- Grading: More than 50% – Monitoring and supervision required 30%–50% – Hospitalization and moderate support required Less than 30% – Intensive care and total support required. TOOL DESCRIPTION Nurses generally plan the nursing care based on the client needs and dependency level. There are several ways to assess the client's dependency for the nursing care requirements. The NCDL assessment tool is a simple attempt to quantify the NCDL. This tool is constructed upon the ability of the client/patient in achieving some important self-care activities. It measures the complete dependency, partial dependency, and/or complete independency of the client in meeting those needs. The scores are assigned accordingly. METHOD OF QUANTIFICATION AND CALCULATION OF PERCENTAGE There are 10 items and each item has three levels of self-care achievement, as mentioned above. Complete dependency has a score of 0, partial dependency has a score of 0.5, and complete independency has a score of 1. The maximum score one can get is 10 and the least minimum score can be 0. The total score is multiplied by 10 to get the percentage. Thus, the percentage can range from 0 to 100. GRADING More than 50% – Monitoring and supervision required 30%–50% – Hospitalization and moderate support required Less than 30% – Intensive care and total support required. SCOPE/APPLICABILITY/USAGE This tool may be used in any kind of setting from primary health care to tertiary care by the nurses or any other health-care professionals. This can be used for making clinical decisions such as admission/discharge, human resource planning, tranfering clients to different wards based on the dependency and educating client and family, etc. This tool has the scope to assess clients with physical and psychosocial problems across the lifespan, where the functioning is affected. Permission to use: Its a free to use tool. People/ professionals can use it with permission and due acknowledgement of author. Financial support and sponsorship Nil. Conflicts of interest There are no conflicts of interest.","PeriodicalId":484047,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of psychiatric nursing","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135401361","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}

However, the stresses of dealing with patients affected by COVID-19 and concern about their own well-being are likely to lead to psychological distress among them. This study looked at depression, anxiety, insomnia, and significant distress among doctors and nurses working in COVID-19 services at a tertiary care facility. Methods: Depression, anxiety, insomnia, and significant distress were assessed through Primary Health Questionnaire-9, generalized anxiety disorder-7 scale, insomnia severity index (ISI), and impact of events scale-revised, respectively, using an online pro forma. Results: A total of 504 participants (53.2% females, 70.8% nurses) provided complete responses. Depression, anxiety, insomnia, and distress symptoms above the threshold were present in 36.7%, 29.6%, 31.9%, and 11.7% of participants, respectively. Single marital status, lack of access to appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), distance to work more than 10 km, and being diagnosed with a mental illness were independent predictors of depression. Lack of access to appropriate PPE and being diagnosed with a mental illness were independent predictors of anxiety. Lack of access to adequate PPE emerged as the only independent predictor of insomnia and significant distress symptoms, respectively. Conclusion: Considerable proportion of health-care professionals posted in COVID-19 care had symptoms of psychological distress. Addressing the concerns of health-care professionals is important and probably needs effective collaboration of mental health-care professionals and administrators.","PeriodicalId":484047,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of psychiatric nursing","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135401029","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}

Its dimensions are far beyond the physical illness as it causes a long-lasting psychological impact on the patient as well as family mental health due to its poor prognosis, low survival rates, and substantial distress due to its treatment modalities. This study aims to assess the level of resilience and perceived social support among cancer patients. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from January 2020 to April 2020. A total of 405 cancer patients were enrolled in this research study who were attending the oncology outpatient department at our institute. The data was collected through planned interviews using Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale and the multidimensional scale of perceived social support to assess the level of resilience and perceived social support among patients. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The findings revealed that the highest level of resilience was shown among the patients who are self-efficient with a mean score of 5.36 ± 1.392 while the respondents obtained the maximum social support from their family with a mean score of 19.37 ± 3.653. It was found that there was a strong positive correlation between resilience and perceived social support, which was statistically significantP< 0.05), whereas no association was found between the level of resilience and perceived social support scores with sociodemographic variables (P < 0.05).
