“…one of the previous researches support this finding, where active coping did not mediate the said relationship (Mosher et al, 2006). This finding is most opposite to the common trend of research where problem-focused coping is considered to be the most effective strategy to be utilized (Zaman and Ali, 2019) and also because any type of coping seems to work in case of health-related adversities. This difference can be explained through the premise that coping strategies differ from culture to culture.…”

“…This finding is not supported by previous research as generally, all types of coping strategies mitigate the negative effects of the pandemic ( Main et al, 2011 ; Dawson and Golijani-Moghaddam, 2020 ). Further, in particular, problem-focused coping is the most effective strategy to be utilized ( Zaman and Ali, 2019 ).…”

“…During COVID, patients suffering from the disease manifest and experience greater behavioral and emotional reactions like anger, anxiety, fear, distress, insomnia, loneliness and boredom ( Shigemura et al, 2020 ; Yaseen et al, 2021 ). One of the most effective strategies to deal with problems in life is a problem-focused coping strategy where problems are confronted through direct actions ( Zaman and Ali, 2019 ). Distress has a positive relationship with coping during COVID ( Sohail and Zafar, 2022 ).…”

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has not only brought the risk of death but has brought unbearable psychological pressures to the people. Mental health of COVID patients is expected to be affected by the continuous spread of the pandemic. This study aims to find the mediating role of coping styles in the relationship between life orientation and psychological distress among COVID recovered patients. It was hypothesized that: life orientation is likely to have a relationship with coping; coping is likely to have a relationship with psychological distress and coping is likely to mediate the relationship between life orientation and psychological distress among patients recovered from COVID. For this purpose, 378 COVID-10 recovered patients’ men (190) and women (188). Urdu translations of the Life Orientation scale revised, Brief Coping Orientation to Problem Experienced (COPE) and Impact of event scales were used to collect data. Results show that emotion-focused and avoidant coping mediate the relationship between life orientation and psychological distress. The research has implications for mental health practitioners and individuals dealing with health-related issues.

“…Instead, problem-focused coping concerns the identification and cost-benefit assessment of alternatives to solve the problem through an action plan. It involves an analytical process focused on the environment that includes strategies related to the interior of the subject ( Zaman and Ali, 2019 ).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has produced alterations in the behaviour and psychological health of people, who have had to learn living under uncertain circumstances escaping their control. This situation has been aggravated in those countries applying strict home confinement rules to try bending their epidemic curve. This is the case of Spain, where the stringent lockdown period was extended over three months. This study aimed at proving a research hypothesis whereby living close to Green Infrastructure (GI) during the confinement period was beneficial for mental health. To this end, La Palma (Canary Islands) and Zaragoza (Peninsular Spain) were taken as case studies, since both locations distributed a questionnaire to address citizenry’s self-reported mental health under strict lockdown conditions. A spatial statistical analysis of the responses collected by these questionnaires revealed that variables such as stress, anger, medication use, alcohol consumption or visits to the doctor significantly decreased if citizens were close to GI, whereas people having very high expectations of enjoying the city after the confinement were positively correlated to proximity of green areas. Although these outcomes are limited by the inferential capacity of correlation analysis, they point out to a sense of relief derived from having visual contact with vegetated landscapes and feeling stimulated about using them for recreation, aesthetical or sporting purposes. The joint consideration of these psychological gains with the social and environmental benefits provided by GI emphasizes the importance of approaching urban regeneration through the design and implementation of interconnected green spaces.

“…realistic manner and deal with their problems in the most effective way. A number of researches stress the advantages of being married over singlehood (Zaman, & Ali, 2019). Dush and Amato (2005) assert that marriage is an institution, endorsed by the legal system, religion, societal norms and has a strong power to provide a sense of identity or social status to people embracing this institution by making marital bond.…”

Marriage has always been central to women’s lives in Pakistan and to remain single is not only considered socially unacceptable but also perceived as non-compliance to the cultural hegemony of the institute of marriage. Pakistan is a country where marriage is considered mandatory and singlehood is viewed as anomalous particularly in the case of women. The present study put light on the experiences of those women who remain unmarried in a traditional society like Pakistan where women are generally seen only as wives and mothers. This study attempted to analyse the perspectives of never-married women with greater emphasis on the issues and challenges faced by them. The primary objective of this paper is to highlight the cultural and psycho-social aspects ofsinglehood and to voice the opinions and ‘lived experiences’ of the never-married female from their perspective. In Pakistani culture, women are generally expected to get married by their mid-twenties. The study was conducted with the help of a qualitative phenomenological approach. It relied on anthropological methods of data collection from twenty never-married women over the age of thirty-five years. Findings revealed that respondents in this study acknowledged their latent desire to be married and having fulfilled lives, however, owing to some tragic socio-familial circumstances, such as financial constraints, the death of father and the responsibility to look after widowed mother and younger siblings, caste-based endogamy, lack of physical attractiveness, failure to find a compatible spouse, were identified as some of the contributory. Regardless of whether the causes for their single status were circumstantial or optional, unmarried women experience criticism, disgrace, loneliness, and feeling of being left out in a patriarchal societal setup where traditional gender role expectations bound women with marriage and motherhood.
