Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) may have risk factors of Functional and Behavioral difficulties. Aims: To Determine the parental distress as a result of functional and behavioral difficulties of children with C.P. Methodology: The population was based in Pakistan, cross-sectional survey was conducted in which caregivers of 40 children with CP aged 3-8 Years were involved by online “ Survey System” software and completed the Agitated Behavior Scale(ABS), The Gillette Functional Assessment Questionnaire and Parental Stress Scale to determine the child’s behavior, functional difficulties, and parental distress. Correlation paired 2-tail and Linear regression was used to analyze the data. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 20.Results: The demographic data (Age and Gender),non-significant regression equation f=2 (37), P > 0.01 with an Power calculation r2 = 0.45. Functional difficulties (F.A and L. A), not-significant regression equation was found df=4(35) , P > 0.01 with an Power calculation r2 = 0.07 while, not-significant regression equation was found df=5(34) , P > 0.01 with an Power calculation r2 = 0.03 and findings indicate that parental distress has no statistically significant relationship (|r| n=40, p> 0.05) to Functional Abilities , Locomotors Abilities and Behavior Difficulties. Conclusion and Implications: Evidence shows that psychological, behavioral, emotional, and communication problems are frequent in children with CP. It’s not compulsory to have highly rated parental stress in case of children having any disability and child’s effect agitated behaviors. Effective rehabilitation programs should provide not only sufficient opportunities for the children’s disabilities but also psychological support for the mothers.

背景:脑瘫患儿可能存在功能和行为困难的危险因素。目的:探讨慢性阻塞性睡眠障碍儿童因功能和行为困难而引起的父母痛苦。研究人群来自巴基斯坦，采用“调查系统”软件对40名3-8岁CP患儿的照顾者进行横断面调查，通过躁动行为量表(ABS)、吉列功能评估问卷和父母压力量表来确定儿童的行为、功能困难和父母困扰。采用相关配对双尾和线性回归对数据进行分析。数据采用IBM SPSS 20进行分析。结果:人口学资料(年龄和性别)，无显著回归方程f=2 (37)， P > 0.01, Power计算r2 = 0.45。功能障碍(F.A和L. A)，回归方程df=4(35)， P > 0.01, Power计算r2 = 0.07;回归方程df=5(34)， P > 0.01, Power计算r2 = 0.03，回归方程无统计学意义(|r| n=40, P > 0.05)。结果表明，父母痛苦与功能能力、运动能力和行为困难无统计学意义(|r| n=40, P > 0.05)。结论与启示:有证据表明，CP患儿在心理、行为、情绪和沟通等方面存在较多问题。如果患儿有任何残疾，且有儿童效应激动行为，家长压力并不一定要高。有效的康复方案不仅要为残疾儿童提供充分的机会，还要为母亲提供心理支持。关键词:脑瘫，儿童，应激，行为，父母困扰，功能困难，运动能力

Suicide is more likely in those who suffer from depression, which is a debilitating condition. College students and recent graduates from countries where the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been particularly severe are particularly at risk because of the rigorous lockdown measures they confront and the limited resources they have to deal with it. The study's goal was to determine how much depression, stress and anxiety graduates experienced during lockdown due to the dread of the COVID-19 pandemic virus. A total of 120 graduates (44% females, 56% males) between 20 and 38 years old were surveyed. The sample involved 68% of students from public universities and 32% from private universities. It was found that the average levels of depression, stress, and anxiety were all higher than those considered normal. Fear of COVID was linked to depression, stress, and anxiety in a statistically positive relationship. The dread of COVID and depression are inextricably linked through the mediating role of anxiety and stress. In addition, there was no difference in males' and females' degrees of fear of COVID-19 and depression. The findings of this study illustrate the critical role that fear, stress, and anxiety play in the onset of depressive symptoms and how they might be taken into account in programs aimed at avoiding and treating this disorder. Some general techniques for minimizing stress and fear of COVID-19 are proposed, as are programs geared specifically to regulate and overcome graduate anxiety.

A cancer diagnosis in adolescence can be extremely distressing. It brings with it a number of physical changes which can have a significant impact on body image (BI). The purpose of this review was to examine the concept of BI in adolescent cancer patients (ACPs) and to discuss the role of healthcare professionals (HCPs) in providing psychosocial support. A systematic review of the literature was conducted, and 18 journal articles were included. BI was discussed under the headings: the body reality, the body ideal, the body presentation, coping strategies and social support. Cancer-related physical changes include hair loss, weight changes and scarring. Patients employ a range of coping strategies in response to these changes such as concealment, self-imposed isolation, fatalistic coping strategies and self-love. Social support is an imperative component of BI. Concepts such as a “peer shield” and “testing the waters” can be explored with ACPs by HCPs. Evidence shows that BI should be routinely addressed by HCPs beginning at diagnosis. Five levels of support provided by HCPs were discussed in the context of ACPs.

The purpose of this non-experimental study (N=228) was to explore the relationship between the big five personality traits, general anxiety, COVID-19 Anxiety, and rumination. An online questionnaire consisting of 4 scales was administered to undergraduate students. Scales assessed participant’s personality traits, general anxiety, COVID-19 Anxiety, and rumination. Hypotheses were tested using Hayes Process Macro (2020). All four of the hypotheses were partially supported. Results indicated that the personality traits of extraversion and neuroticism had a significant influence on rumination and that relationship was either mediated by COVID-19 Anxiety and moderated by general anxiety. Findings also indicated a link between COVID-19 Anxiety and general anxiety on rumination.
本非实验研究(N=228)的目的是探讨五大人格特质、一般焦虑、COVID-19焦虑和反刍之间的关系。对大学生进行了一份由4个量表组成的在线问卷调查。量表评估了参与者的人格特征、一般焦虑、COVID-19焦虑和反刍。使用Hayes Process Macro(2020)对假设进行了检验。所有四种假设都得到了部分支持。结果表明，外向型人格特质和神经质人格特质对反刍行为有显著影响，这种关系可能由新冠肺炎焦虑介导，也可能受到一般焦虑的调节。研究结果还表明，COVID-19焦虑与反刍时的一般焦虑之间存在联系。

The thrust of the study was to investigate the use and prevalent of smartphone addiction among undergraduates of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria as well as examining the influence of psycho-demographic characteristics on students’ smartphone addiction. The survey research design was employed for the study. A sample of 600 undergraduates and six faculties were selected from the university using a multistage sampling technique. An adapted questionnaire titled “Questionnaire on Smartphone Addiction among Undergraduates” (QSAU) was used to collect the data from the participants. The reliability test result of the instrument after trial-tested was 0.71% at a 0.05 level of significance. Percentages, Relative Significance Index (RSI), ranking order, t-test, One-Way Analysis of Variance, and multiple regressions were employed to analyse the data collected. The results showed a high prevalence rate of smartphone addiction among 124(20.7%) undergraduates. Educative information (0.801), charting (0.787) and sports and recreation (0.778) were the frequently information undergraduates sourced from their smartphones. Again, the results showed a significant influence of personality characteristics (F(5,546) = 51.870, p < 0.05); sex (the t-test = 0. -2.612; df = 598, p > 0.05) age (F(2,596) = 9.533; p < 0.05), students’ level (F(4,594); = 57.209, p < 0.05) and smartphone addiction among the students. Finally, the result showed that all variables contributed 65.3%. This indicated psycho-demographic variables greatly contributed to students’ smartphone addiction (R2 = 0.653; F = 57.209, p < 0.05). The study concluded psycho-demographic variables predisposed undergraduates to smartphone addiction.

This article highlights key empirical and conceptual progress in understanding of predictors of marital satisfaction. The article brings together studies in this area summarizing the key findings, and then focuses on comparison of marital satisfaction predictors across individualistic and collectivist cultures. The researches on marital relationships currently addresses the concepts like satisfaction, marital success, consensus, companionship, adjustment, quality or some concepts relevant to satisfaction of marital life. All the common and different predictors of marital satisfaction are identified and compared with the existing body of literature in individualistic and collectivistic cultures. Although there are some conflicting findings that hinder drawing of conclusive evidence, we found predictors of marital satisfaction among that are shared between individualistic and collectivist cultures. Hence some universal predictors of marital happiness are highlighted through cultural comparison. After this review the future researchers and counselors will be well aware of cross cultural predictors of marital satisfaction which will help them in future conductance of researches and couple’s counseling.

COVID-19 and the resulting social and economic lockdown has reportedly given rise to mental health issues globally. Existing literature suggests some groups experience higher psychological distress during pandemics than others. This systematic literature review highlights risk and protective factors that make these groups more vulnerable to psychological distress during an epidemic. We focus on trauma symptoms, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression studied in clinical science literature between 2010 and 2020, focusing on the SARS, MERS, Ebola, H1N1 and Zika virus epidemics, and draw parallels with COVID-19. Since out of the 29 selected studies, most included in this review focus on symptoms rather than risk factors, this paper determines these factors by identifying comparative statistics noted in findings. Gender, age, location, economic factors, information access, media exposure, being infected or knowing an infected person, and stigma around infection are risk factors isolated for negative psychological outcomes. Protective factors identified are religion, social support, and strong leadership. A missing focus on minority and underserved populations across cultures was noted. We recommend that media exposure be regulated and trauma screening at primary healthcare level be used to identify at-risk individuals. Additionally, interventions should incorporate preventative measures against mental health problems for high-risk populations, including educational programs de-stigmatizing infection.

In January 2020, the World Health Organization declared a public health emergency and announced a new coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which would later go on to be declared as a pandemic, changing the global sphere and placing the economies of almost all countries under heavy stress. The airline industry, that had just begun recovering after facing crises one after another in the last two decades, from early 2000 due to 9/11, to the global financial crisis later, is now oce again facing an enormous challenge of closed borders and greater lockdowns due to the pandemic. Borders are closed, with very few planes are in the air, while the rest are grounded. The purpose of this paper is to give a conceptual understanding of the current pandemic situation and its consequences on the airline industry. The paper takes a unique perspective of human resource management (HRM) that is rarely used in the airline industry.

This investigation aims to scrutinize prevalence of Post-Traumatic Stress (PTSD) symptoms in recovered patients of COVID-19. The study implemented a quantitative approach through circulation of an online google survey with nonprobability purposive convenient sampling strategy. The chosen assessment measure of PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) was administered on 200 participants on 07th day of recovery during period of observation. In addition, Regression statistical analysis was performed for data analysis and results indicated a moderate prevalence of PSTD symptoms in females as compared to Male. Overall proneness towards PTSD is calculated as 45.6% among the respondents (R-square = 0.456). Thorough consideration of ethical parameters is enforced by several procedures comprising informed consent, right to withdraw, disposal of data, and confidentiality. The current study would act as a basis for future researches to reduce the prevalence of psychological issues that patients face during this period of pandemic and would help in catering suitable interventions for the patients.
