Background. Lockdown is recognized as an effective measure in limiting the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) throughout the world. However, recurrent COVID-19 infection and the extension of lockdown have threatened the livelihoods of people, mainly socioeconomic and mental health dimensions. Objective. The present study is aimed at identifying the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on the daily life and mental health of the general population of Nepal. Furthermore, the study identified the predictors of the mental health status of the people during COVID-19 lockdown. Methods. The study was conducted among 354 Nepalese people specifically the breadwinner of the family. Respondents completed the questionnaires related to the sociodemographic characteristics, COVID-19, and its impact on various aspects of life, including mental health via Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 items (DASS-21). Data was collected through the web-based method, Google Forms questionnaire. Respondents were contacted through email and social networks (Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Viber) following a snowball approach. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Logistic regression analysis was done to identify significant demographic, COVID-related, and socioeconomic factors associated with mental health outcomes. Results. Based on DASS-21 scores, the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress was 46.6% (mild: 22.3%, moderate: 16.7%, severe: 6.5%, and extremely severe: 1.1), 42.1% (mild: 10.2%, moderate: 18.6%, severe: 11.6%, and extremely severe: 1.7%), and 39% (mild: 16.7%, moderate: 12.7%, and severe: 9.6%), respectively. Various factors associated with COVID-19, its lockdown measures, and sociodemographic characteristics of the people were identified as the significant predictors of depression, anxiety, and stress among the general population of Nepal. Conclusion. The impact of COVID-19 lockdown on individuals’ work, income, education, living standard, lifestyle, and consequently mental health is significant. The study findings warrant the importance of understanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals’ all aspects of life and timely monitoring and appropriate intervention on risk groups to reduce the severity and chronicity of mental health problems.

背景。封锁被认为是限制新冠肺炎在全球传播的有效措施。然而，反复出现的COVID-19感染和封锁的延长威胁到人们的生计，主要是社会经济和心理健康方面的生计。目标。本研究旨在确定COVID-19封锁对尼泊尔普通民众日常生活和心理健康的影响。此外，该研究还确定了COVID-19封锁期间人们心理健康状况的预测因素。方法。这项研究是在354名尼泊尔人中进行的，特别是家庭的经济支柱。受访者完成了与社会人口统计学特征、COVID-19及其对生活各个方面的影响相关的问卷，包括通过抑郁、焦虑和压力量表21 (DASS-21)项目对心理健康的影响。数据通过基于网络的方法，谷歌表格问卷收集。按照滚雪球的方式，通过电子邮件和社交网络(Facebook、Messenger、WhatsApp和Viber)联系受访者。数据分析采用描述性和推断性统计。进行了Logistic回归分析，以确定与心理健康结果相关的重要人口统计学、covid相关因素和社会经济因素。结果。根据DASS-21评分，抑郁、焦虑和压力的患病率分别为46.6%(轻度:22.3%、中度:16.7%、重度:6.5%、极重度:1.1)、42.1%(轻度:10.2%、中度:18.6%、重度:11.6%、极重度:1.7%)和39%(轻度:16.7%、中度:12.7%、重度:9.6%)。与COVID-19相关的各种因素、封锁措施以及人们的社会人口特征被确定为尼泊尔普通人群抑郁、焦虑和压力的重要预测因素。结论。COVID-19封锁对个人的工作、收入、教育、生活水平、生活方式以及心理健康的影响是巨大的。研究结果表明，了解COVID-19大流行对个人生活各个方面的影响，及时监测和适当干预风险群体，以降低心理健康问题的严重程度和慢性性至关重要。

Resilience plays a pivotal role to offset stress among families of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Although the majority of previous studies investigated resilience in parents, it is unclear what factors contribute to resilience in children. Thus, we aimed to explore resilience experienced by parents of children with ASD and how it affects children’s resilience. We invited 50 parents of a child with ASD, 13 years old or younger, across various Canadian provinces in an online survey. Parental resilience was positively associated with household income and negatively associated with parental stress. Resilience in children with ASD was positively associated with their social participation at home and community. Findings indicate a relationship between resilience in children with ASD and their participation, suggesting new ways to increase resilience in children with ASD by enhancing their participation.

在自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童的家庭中，恢复力在抵消压力方面起着关键作用。尽管之前的大多数研究调查了父母的弹性，但尚不清楚是什么因素促成了儿童的弹性。因此，我们的目的是探讨自闭症儿童父母的心理弹性，以及它如何影响儿童的心理弹性。我们邀请了50位自闭症儿童的父母，年龄在13岁或以下，他们来自加拿大各省，进行了一项在线调查。父母心理弹性与家庭收入呈正相关，与父母压力负相关。自闭症儿童的复原力与他们在家庭和社区的社会参与呈正相关。研究结果表明，自闭症儿童的弹性与其参与之间存在关系，这为通过增强自闭症儿童的参与来提高自闭症儿童的弹性提供了新的途径。

Objectives. Literacy and stigma of suicide among doctors affect health-service delivery for persons with suicidal behavior. However, no attempt has been identified to assess those among physicians in Bangladesh. We aimed to determine the level and associated factors of suicide literacy and stigma toward suicide among physicians in Bangladesh. Methods. We collected data from 203 physicians in February 2022 by Google Forms. We used the Bangla literacy of suicide scale (LOSS-B) and the Bangla stigma of suicide scale (SOSS-B) to assess the literacy and stigma of suicide. The instrument also included questions for collecting sociodemographic variables and assessing suicidal behavior. Results. The mean age of the physicians was 34.17 ± 7.86 (range 23–66) years, 109 (53.7%) were females, 150 (73.9%) were married, and 181 (89.2%) were Muslim. The mean LOSS-B score was 5.9 ± 1.96 (range 1-10). Suicide literacy was higher in singles ( p = 0.013 ), doctors with a family history of suicide ( p = 0.018 ), a history of suicidal thought in lifetime ( p ≤ 0.001 ), and in the last year ( p = 0.03 ). Muslims ( p = 0.017 ) and city dwellers ( p = 0.021 ) had higher scores in the stigma subscale of SOSS-B whilst respondents with history of mental illness had a significantly lower level of stigma ( p ≤ 0.006 ). The stigma and isolation subscales were positively correlated indicating a higher value stigma creates higher isolation ( p ≤ 0.001 ). No relationship between suicide literacy and suicide stigma was identified among the physicians. Conclusions. Suicide literacy among the physicians of Bangladesh is low albeit higher than the level among the students. Appropriate programs should be designed to improve the status quo because physicians play fundamental roles as health-service providers as well as gatekeepers in suicide prevention.

目标。医生对自杀的认知和耻辱感影响了向有自杀行为的人提供保健服务。然而，没有人试图对孟加拉国的医生进行评估。我们的目的是确定自杀素养水平和相关因素以及孟加拉国医生对自杀的耻辱感。方法。我们在2022年2月通过谷歌表格收集了203名医生的数据。我们使用孟加拉语自杀识字率量表(LOSS-B)和孟加拉语自杀污名量表(SOSS-B)来评估自杀识字率和污名。该工具还包括收集社会人口变量和评估自杀行为的问题。结果。医师平均年龄34.17±7.86岁(23 ~ 66岁)，女性109人(53.7%)，已婚150人(73.9%)，穆斯林181人(89.2%)。平均LOSS-B评分为5.9±1.96(范围1-10)。自杀素养在单身(p = 0.013)、有自杀家族史(p = 0.018)、一生中有过自杀念头(p≤0.001)和去年有过自杀念头(p = 0.03)的医生中较高。穆斯林(p = 0.017)和城市居民(p = 0.021)在耻感量表上得分较高，而有精神病史的被调查者在耻感量表上得分较低(p≤0.006)。柱头与隔离度亚量表呈正相关，表明柱头值越高，隔离度越高(p≤0.001)。在医生中没有发现自杀知识和自杀耻辱之间的关系。结论。孟加拉国医生的自杀知识水平较低，尽管高于学生的水平。应该设计适当的方案来改善现状，因为医生在预防自杀方面扮演着卫生服务提供者和看门人的基本角色。

Objectives. Assessment of suicide cognition would help to measure the enduring suicide risk and to predict the risk of a suicide attempt. However, no previous attempt was identified to validate the suicide cognition scale in Bangla. We aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Brief Suicide Cognitions Scale (BSCS) in Bangla. Methods. We conducted this validation study among 529 medical and university students. We collected the responses by Google Forms with the translated version of BSCS from 20 August to 20 October 2022. We assessed internal consistency form of reliability, face validity, content validity, construct validity, concurrent validity, and discriminant validity. Results. The mean age of the respondents was 23.32 ± 1.73 years; 52.5% were males, 92% were single, 75% were undergraduate students, 40.24% were studying in medical schools, 18.53% had a chronic illness, 9.45% had a mental illness, 4.16% had a family history of suicide, and 11.15% had previous nonfatal attempts. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.84, and factor analysis revealed unidimensional construct with six items with a good model fit. The BSCS showed acceptable convergent and discriminant validity. Conclusion. This study assessed the psychometric properties of Bangla BSCS among students which found acceptable reliability and validity. Further studies could test the validation especially among clinical samples to assess the predictive validity of the instrument.

目标。评估自杀认知有助于衡量持久自杀风险和预测自杀企图的风险。然而，在孟加拉，自杀认知量表尚未被证实。我们的目的是评估孟加拉简易自杀认知量表(BSCS)的心理测量特性。方法。我们对529名医科大学生和大学生进行了验证性研究。我们在2022年8月20日至10月20日期间，通过谷歌表格和BSCS的翻译版本收集了回复。我们评估了内部一致性形式的信度、面效度、内容效度、构念效度、并发效度和区别效度。结果。受访者平均年龄23.32±1.73岁;男性占52.5%，单身占92%，大学生占75%，医学院学生占40.24%，有慢性疾病者占18.53%，有精神疾病者占9.45%，有自杀家族史者占4.16%，有非致命企图者占11.15%。Cronbach’s alpha值为0.84，因子分析显示有6个项目的单维结构，模型拟合良好。BSCS具有良好的收敛效度和判别效度。结论。本研究对孟加拉语BSCS在学生中的心理测量特性进行了评估，得到了可接受的信度和效度。进一步的研究可以检验有效性，特别是在临床样本中评估该仪器的预测有效性。

Objectives. Parenting is the general child-rearing practice that has both long- and short-term impacts on the physical, emotional, mental, and social development of the children. We aims at seeing the relationship between parenting style and suicidal behaviors. Methods. A search was conducted in Medline, Embase, and PsychINFO to identify the articles assessing the relationship between different types of parenting styles and suicidal behavior. We included 32 articles in the review published from inception to search date. Results. Among the 32 studies, 27 studies used a cross-sectional study design, 17 were published between 2011 and 2020, and most of the studies included respondents with ages between 9 and 21 years. A wide variety of the used instruments to assess suicidal behavior, and parenting style was noted. Eight studies revealed that authoritarian parenting style is one of the predictors of suicidal behavior, while one study reported the authoritarian parenting style as a resilient factor. Both dominating and flexible parenting styles were associated with higher suicidal behavior, and two studies reported that the permissive style is a contributing factor to suicidal ideation among participants. Conclusion. This review identified the supportive notion that authoritarian parenting style has an association with suicidal behavior in adolescence, and later life. However, a prudential judgment is warranted due to the heterogeneity of study methods, population, contexts, and measurement tools.

目标。养育子女是一般的养育子女的做法，对孩子的身体、情感、精神和社会发展有长期和短期的影响。我们旨在了解父母教养方式与自杀行为之间的关系。方法。在Medline, Embase和PsychINFO进行了搜索，以确定评估不同类型的养育方式与自杀行为之间关系的文章。我们纳入了从开始到检索日期发表的32篇文章。结果。在32项研究中，27项研究采用了横断面研究设计，17项研究发表于2011年至2020年之间，大多数研究的受访者年龄在9至21岁之间。评估自杀行为和父母教养方式的工具种类繁多。八项研究表明，专制的父母教养方式是自杀行为的预测因素之一，而一项研究报告专制的父母教养方式是一个弹性因素。支配型和灵活型的教养方式都与较高的自杀行为有关，两项研究报告称，纵容型的教养方式是参与者产生自杀意念的一个因素。结论。这篇综述确认了一种支持性的观点，即专制的父母教养方式与青春期和以后的生活中的自杀行为有关。然而，由于研究方法、人口、背景和测量工具的异质性，谨慎的判断是必要的。

Background. Healthcare workers (HCWs) are a vulnerable group to psychological distress (PD) because they are subjected to strict working conditions, and the nature of the work implies a heavy level of emotional involvement. Objective. This study is aimed at determining psychological distress among healthcare workers with chronic diseases during the COVID-19 crisis. Methods. This was a quantitative cross-sectional correlation study. An online self-administered questionnaire was completed from July 2021 to October 2021 by a convenience sample of 302 HCWs at two primary healthcare centers in Saudi Arabia. The Kessler psychological distress scale was used to assess psychological distress among HCWs. Results. The prevalence of HCWs who contracted COVID-19 was 59.9%. The overall mean score of K10 was 4.38 ( SD = 0.706 ). The majority of HCWs that had the highest percentage of a very high level of distress were female (66.2%), between the ages of 30 and 40 years (35.1%), had more than 10 years of work experience (48.0%), and were nurses (49.7%), married (61.6%), and infected with COVID-19 (59.9%). There was a significant association between the age, working experience, and PD scores of the HCWs P value < 0.05. A significant correlation between each of the variables of (heart disease, high blood pressure, lung disease, diabetes, ulcer, anemia, depression, and back pain) and PD whereas the P value < 0.05 and the R value < 0.3. Conclusion. HCWs with associated comorbidities have been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. There was a very high level of PD among the studied population. HCWs with hypertension and back pain were the most affected by psychological distress, and emotional distress could be exacerbated if the HCWs contracted COVID-19.

背景。医护人员是一个易受心理困扰的群体，因为他们的工作条件严格，而且工作的性质意味着大量的情感投入。目标。本研究旨在确定COVID-19危机期间慢性病医护人员的心理困扰。方法。这是一项定量的横断面相关性研究。2021年7月至2021年10月，沙特阿拉伯两个初级卫生保健中心的302名卫生保健员完成了一份在线自我管理问卷。采用Kessler心理困扰量表评估医护人员的心理困扰。结果。感染COVID-19的卫生保健人员患病率为59.9%。K10总分平均为4.38分(SD = 0.706)。极度痛苦比例最高的卫生保健人员大多数是女性(66.2%)，年龄在30至40岁之间(35.1%)，有10年以上的工作经验(48.0%)，护士(49.7%)，已婚(61.6%)和感染COVID-19(59.9%)。HCWs的年龄、工作经验与PD评分有显著相关，P值< 0.05。各变量(心脏病、高血压、肺病、糖尿病、溃疡、贫血、抑郁、背痛)与PD有显著相关，P值< 0.05,R值< 0.3。结论。患有相关合并症的卫生保健工作者受到COVID-19大流行的严重影响。在研究人群中PD的水平非常高。患有高血压和背痛的医护人员受心理困扰的影响最大，如果感染COVID-19，他们的情绪困扰可能会加剧。

Objectives: This study aimed to test and validate the two-factors measurement model of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI). Specifically, this paper reported construct, convergent and divergent validities of the internalizing-externalizing MCMI model of adult psychopathology using a psychiatric sample from a developing society, the Republic of Yemen. Methods: MCMI was distributed among 232 outpatients from the Hospital of Taiz City and two private psychiatry clinics in Yemen; data were collected using structured interviews in four months. The Maximum Likelihood (ML) was used in Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and the Confirmatory Factory Analysis (CFA) to explore and confirm the latent underlying MCMI and verifying evidence of convergent and discriminate validity. Results: The CFA results indicated that MCMI was a good fit for the internalizing-externalizing model of adult psychopathology. The results of the CFA confirmed that evidence of convergent and discriminant validity characterized MCMI with the internalizing and externalizing model. Conclusion: The adult psychopathology of internalizing and externalizing is a valid model by MCMI with ten personality disorders and eight clinical syndromes. Thus, practical clinical implications are suggested.

目的:本研究旨在检验和验证百万临床多轴量表(MCMI)的双因素测量模型。具体而言，本文报告了内在化-外在化成人精神病理学MCMI模型的构建、收敛和发散效度，使用了一个来自发展中社会也门共和国的精神病学样本。方法:对也门塔伊兹市医院和2家私立精神科诊所的232名门诊患者进行MCMI调查;数据是在四个月内通过结构化访谈收集的。在探索性因子分析(EFA)和验证性工厂分析(CFA)中使用最大似然(ML)来探索和确认潜在的MCMI，并验证收敛效度和区别效度的证据。结果:CFA结果表明MCMI符合成人精神病理学的内化-外化模型。CFA的结果证实了收敛效度和判别效度的证据，表明MCMI具有内化和外化模型的特征。结论:内化和外化的成人精神病理是MCMI对10种人格障碍和8种临床证候的有效模型。因此，提出了实际的临床意义。

Purpose: This paper aims to explore the relevant literature available regarding the use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a mode of treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD); to evaluate the evidence to support the use of rTMS as a treatment option for OCD.

Design/methodology/approach: The authors electronically conducted data search in five research databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, Psych INFO, SCOPUS and EMBASE) using all identified keywords and index terms across all the databases to identify empirical studies and randomized controlled trials. The authors included articles published with randomized control designs, which aimed at the treatment of OCD with rTMS. Only full-text published articles written in English were reviewed. Review articles on treatment for conditions other than OCD were excluded. The Covidence software was used to manage and streamline the review.

Findings: Despite the inconsistencies in the published literature, the application of rTMS over the supplementary motor area and the orbitofrontal cortex has proven to be promising in efficacy and tolerability compared with other target regions such as the prefrontal cortex for the treatment of OCD. Despite the diversity in terms of the outcomes and clinical variability of the studies under review, rTMS appears to be a promising treatment intervention for OCD.

Research limitations/implications: The authors of this scoping review acknowledge several limitations. First, the search strategy considered only studies published in English and the results are up to date as the last day of the electronic data search of December 10, 2020. Though every effort was made to identify all relevant studies for the purposes of this review per the eligibility criteria, the authors still may have missed some relevant studies, especially those published in other languages.

Originality/value: This review brought to bare the varying literature on the application of rTMS and what is considered gaps in the knowledge in this area in an attempt to evaluate and provide information on the potential therapeutic effects of rTMS for OCD.

目的：探讨重复经颅磁刺激（rTMS）治疗强迫症（OCD）的相关文献；评估支持rTMS作为强迫症治疗选择的证据。设计/方法/方法：作者在五个研究数据库（MEDLINE， CINAHL, Psych INFO， SCOPUS和EMBASE）中进行电子数据检索，使用所有数据库中的所有识别关键词和索引术语来识别实证研究和随机对照试验。作者收录了采用随机对照设计的文章，旨在用rTMS治疗强迫症。只审查了以英文撰写的全文发表的文章。关于强迫症以外疾病治疗的综述文章被排除在外。使用冠状病毒软件来管理和简化审查。研究结果：尽管已发表的文献存在不一致之处，但与其他靶区如前额皮质相比，rTMS在辅助运动区和眶额皮质上的应用在治疗强迫症的疗效和耐受性上都是有希望的。尽管这些研究的结果和临床变异性存在差异，但rTMS似乎是一种有希望的强迫症治疗干预措施。研究局限性/启示：本综述的作者承认一些局限性。首先，检索策略仅考虑以英文发表的研究，并且结果在2020年12月10日电子数据检索的最后一天是最新的。尽管我们已尽一切努力根据入选标准确定所有相关研究，但作者仍可能遗漏了一些相关研究，特别是那些以其他语言发表的研究。原创性/价值：本综述揭示了关于rTMS应用的不同文献，以及该领域知识的空白，试图评估和提供rTMS对强迫症的潜在治疗效果的信息。

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of burnout syndrome and its associated factors among medical students at Jazan University, Jazan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Design/methodology/approach: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 440 randomly selected medical students at Jazan University. The questionnaire used for this study was based on the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory.

Findings: The overall prevalence of burnout was estimated at 60.2% (95% CI 55.6-64.8). The prevalence was higher for females (64.1%) than for males (56.2%) but without statistically significant differences (p > 0.05). On average, the students scored the highest averages in the personal burnout category, followed by the study-related and client-related burnout categories. In the multivariate analysis, a lower age (beta = -3.17, p = 0.026), female (beta = -0.896, p = 0.016), and having better burnout knowledge (beta = 0.710, p = 0.025) predict significantly higher personal burnout.

Practical implications: It is necessary to implement strategies to reduce the incidence of burnout among medical students for the sake of a better quality of life for future doctors.

Originality/value: There is a high prevalence of burnout among Jazan's medical students.

目的:本研究的目的是评估沙特阿拉伯王国吉赞大学医学生中职业倦怠综合征的患病率及其相关因素。设计/方法/方法:在吉赞大学随机抽取440名医科学生进行横断面调查。本研究使用的问卷基于哥本哈根倦怠量表。研究结果:倦怠的总体患病率估计为60.2% (95% CI 55.6-64.8)。女性患病率(64.1%)高于男性(56.2%)，但差异无统计学意义(p > 0.05)。平均而言，学生在个人倦怠类别中得分最高，其次是学习相关和客户相关的倦怠类别。在多变量分析中，年龄越低(beta = -3.17, p = 0.026)、女性越低(beta = -0.896, p = 0.016)、倦怠知识越丰富(beta = 0.710, p = 0.025)的个体倦怠程度越高。现实意义:为了提高未来医生的生活质量，有必要实施降低医学生职业倦怠发生率的策略。原创性/价值:在吉赞的医学生中，职业倦怠的发生率很高。

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to discover if there is a correlation between scores on the Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Cognitive and Physical Functioning Questionnaire (CPFQ) scores of 43 patients with major depression.

Design/methodology/approach: In total, 43 adult patients with major depression were evaluated during their regularly scheduled outpatient appointment in a mental health clinic.

Findings: There was an R² value of 0.6544 between the patients' scores, a moderate-to-strong correlation which matches other observations that cognitive impairment increases in conjunction with severity of depression. This correlation lends further clinical support to the legitimacy of using the CPFQ as a simpler alternative to traditional neuropsychological testing, with further testing of the correlation between CPFQ and traditional neuropsychological testing results being a worthwhile potential field of study.

Originality/value: Cognitive dysfunction is a frequent comorbidity in patients with depression, but while there is a brief and effective self- assessment for depression, the BDI, in common use, there is no equivalent test for cognitive dysfunction, and physicians are forced to rely on less accessible methods of neuropsychological testing.

目的:探讨43例重度抑郁症患者的贝克抑郁量表(BDI)得分与认知与身体功能问卷(CPFQ)得分之间是否存在相关性。设计/方法/方法:共有43名患有重度抑郁症的成年患者在心理健康诊所的定期门诊预约期间接受评估。研究结果:患者得分之间的R2值为0.6544，与其他观察结果相吻合，认知障碍与抑郁症的严重程度相关。这种相关性为使用CPFQ作为传统神经心理测试更简单的替代方法的合法性提供了进一步的临床支持，进一步测试CPFQ和传统神经心理测试结果之间的相关性是一个有价值的潜在研究领域。独创性/价值:认知功能障碍是抑郁症患者常见的合并症，但是，虽然有一种简单有效的抑郁症自我评估，即BDI，在普遍使用中，没有等效的认知功能障碍测试，医生被迫依赖于不易获得的神经心理测试方法。
