“…Security is not only an individual's perception and assessment of the security of their environment, including public order, interpersonal relationships, social support, and resources, but also their feelings of their own physical and psychological stability [16][17][18][19][20][21] . An adequate sense of security can help individuals improve social adaptability, maintain emotional stability, enhance a sense of control, improve and develop self-awareness, and establish close relationships, which is of great signi cance to relieve the mental and physical condition caused by death anxiety 22,23 .…”

With the widespread use of the Internet and social media, youth groups are suffering deaths with increasing frequency. Studies have shown that self-esteem and a sense of security can reduce death anxiety, but a detailed explanation of the relationship is still lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the interrelationship and potential pathways of death anxiety, self-esteem, and security in young people. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Shenzhen and Shaoguan, Guangdong Province, China, to collect general data, death anxiety scores, self-esteem scores, and security scores. A total of 623 valid questionnaires were collected from November to May 20232024. The results showed that both self-esteem and a sense of security could significantly predict death anxiety in reverse. Moreover, the sense of security engagement mediated the relationship between self-esteem and death anxiety. Although there is a high level of death anxiety in young people, measures to enhance self-esteem and a sense of security can help alleviate anxiety and promote physical and mental health.

The Ventanillas de Salud (VDS – “Health Windows”) are a culturally sensitive outreach program within the 49 Mexican Consulates in the United States that provides information and health care navigation support to underserved and uninsured Mexican immigrants. During the COVID-19 pandemic the VDS rapidly transitioned to remote operations adding new services. Based on the EquIR implementation framework, this qualitative study investigates how adaptations to improve emergency preparedness were performed. We conducted motivational interviews with three actors – six VDS coordinators, eight partner organizations, and ten VDS users– in two VDS, Los Angeles and New York, to document specific needs of the target population and identify implementation processes to adapt and continue operating. The VDS adapted their model by adding new services for emerging needs, by switching service provision modalities, and by expanding the network of partner organizations. According to the VDS staff, these adaptations increased their topics, depth, reach, and diversified their users. Users had mostly positive opinions about the VDS adaptation, although they highlighted some heterogeneity across service provision. The VDS is a public health intervention able to serve a marginalized population and its implementation offers valuable lessons to complement health systems and to improve preparedness and resiliency for future crises.

Aging is an imperative issue in Korean society, and a healthy life is important for a better quality of life for older adults. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate the determinants of subjective health and depression in middle-aged and elderly Korean individuals. This study used three attributes as the determinants of subjective health and depression, including the curve linear effect of medical expenses and eating-out expenses and the linear impact of regular exercise. We utilized the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLOSA) to determine the associations between five attributes: subjective health, depression, medical expenses, eating-out expenses, and regular exercise. Research panel data were employed as the data source. The study period was between 2018 and 2020. This research implemented various multiple linear panel regression econometric analysis instruments: ordinary least squares, random effects, and fixed effects. The mean age of survey participants was 72.10 years, and 35 percent of participants were female. The number of observations for data analysis was 7197. The results revealed that medical and eating-out expenses had a curved linear effect on subjective health and depression. Moreover, regular exercise positively affected subjective health and resulted in less depression. These findings may inform policy decisions that promote regular exercise and manage medical and eating-out expenses, thereby enhancing subjective health and mitigating depression.
