“…According to some studies, shift workers have also been linked to other side effects, such as depression, sleep deprivation, lack of concentration, and an increased frequency of certain cancers, including breast cancer ( 13 ). Sleep is a natural state of mind and body corresponding to reduced muscle activities and interactions with surroundings ( 14 ). A person's sleep duration determines sleep quality based on the sleep pattern.…”

Approximately 21% of the workers in developing and developed countries are shift laborers. The laborer's work shifts can affect personal life and sleep standards, adversely impacting laborers and their manage. This study assesses the impact of various shift plans (seven evenings/7 days, fixed-night or fixed-day, and backup shifts) on shift laborers, considering four shift schedules. Most laborers were on rotational shifts, whereas others were on a permanent day, permanent night, and standby shifts. In a cross-sectional study, 45 development laborers from the National Construction firm were enlisted. Bio-wearable sensors were provided to monitor sleep. Participants were approached and asked to complete a survey bundle comprising the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS). Differences in sleep models were estimated using a Fitbit watch at various shift schedules. The average age of laborers who participated in the study was 37.5 years, and their average experience in the construction company was 6.5 years. The average total sleep time was 346 ± 46 min. The rotational shift laborers yielded the minimum total sleep time compared to the average PSQI and ESS scores of 7.66 ± 1.3 and 6.94 ± 3.4, respectively. Fifteen shift laborers (33.33%) were affected by a sleeping disorder in the present experimental investigation, and 30 participants had inadequate standards of sleep based on the PSQI scores. Poor sleep quality and duration among construction shift laborers decrease productivity at work. Additional studies are expected to assess sleep-related issues affecting construction shift laborers.

“…The present study examined internal consistency (through Cronbach's alphas and Omega coefficients) and test-retest reliability to demonstrate that the Persian-C19P-S had good stability (via ICC coefficients). For the C19P-S and all of its subscales, all Cronbach's alpha and Omega coefficients were higher than 0.70, demonstrating good reliability and similar to reported results of the original scale (0.95) [13], Korean (0.93) [41], Portuguese (0.92) [42], Turkish (0.92) [49], Indonesian (0.90) [43], Arabic (0.92) [40], United States (0.71-0.79) [9], European countries (0.93) [11], Nigeria (0.89) [44], and Japanese (90) [45]. Also, test-retest reliability coefficients calculated by ICC coefficients were higher than 0.70 for the scale and its subscales, confirming the good stability of the scale.…”

Background During various infectious pandemics, phobia or panic has been suggested as one of the most common mental disorders. The current study reports on the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the COVID‐19 Phobia Scale (C19P-S) in Iran. Methods The forward–backward translation procedure was applied to translate the English version of the C19P-S into Persian. Then, content and face validity, structural validity (exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses), convergent and discriminant validity, concurrent validity, reliability, and stability were performed to evaluate the Persian version. Results In all, 660 people participated in the study. The mean age of patients was 35.55 (SD = 12.24) years. Exploratory factor analysis confirmed a four-factor structure for the scale. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that almost all fitness indices for the model were satisfactory (RMSEA = 0.06, CFI = 0.96, TLI = 0.96, IFI = 0.97). The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for the questionnaire were 0.95 and 0.96, respectively. Conclusion The Persian version of C19P-S showed good psychometric properties and a good fit for the four-factor structure. It can now be used to assess panic disorder in therapeutic settings and identify candidates needing clinical intervention.

“…As a result of the study, a moderate positive correlation was found between age and the total loneliness score; however, no significant correlation was found between the total coronaphobia score and age (13). Karaaslan et al in a study in which they investigated the potential risk factors associated with coronaphobia in adults, no significant correlation was found between the C19P-S scores and age (14). In a study examining the level of coronaphobia and related factors of 736 nurses working in health centers treating patients with COVID-19 in the Philippines, a positive correlation was found between the age of the nurses and their coronavirus anxiety levels (15).…”

“…Single patients' C19P-S psychosomatic subgroup scores were sig-nificantly higher than those of married patients (17). In a study investigating coronaphobia risk factors in adult patients, female sex, being married, having a chronic illness, staying at home, and accompanying sleep disorders were associated with high coronaphobia scores (14). Abdelghani et al investigated the factors affecting the level of coronaphobia among physicians.…”
