Furthermore, cognitive-behavioral therapy delivered remotely ( via digital health platforms telehealth) for both depression and anxiety through enhancing an individual’s awareness of own thoughts, feelings, and experiences and increasing personal resilience, requiring lifestyle changes ( Aminoff et al, 2021 ; Surmai and Duff, 2022 ), hypnotic therapy, prolonged exposure therapy, stress inoculation therapy, group therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing relaxation techniques, and pharmacological interventions are other improved treatment methods for the treatment of mental problems to reduce psychological problems in association with the pandemic ( Cam et al, 2021 ).…”

This study aimed to find the prevalence of stress, anxiety, depression, and PTSD; differences according to demographic variables; and predictors of mental health problems during the second wave of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in Turkey. Differences in exposure to COVID-19 during the first and second waves of the pandemic among students were compared. A total of 754 students from seven universities in different parts of Turkey participated in the survey between November and December 2020. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C) scale measuring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) were used to measure the mental well-being of students. Descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, correlations, and multinomial logistic regression methods were used to analyze the data. The prevalence of high stress, high generalized anxiety (GAD-7 ≥ 10), high depression symptoms (PHQ-9 ≥ 10), and high PTSD in the total sample were 84.2, 36.2, 55.0, and 61.2%, respectively. High perceived stress, moderate generalized anxiety disorder, mild depression symptoms, high severity PTSD, and moderate satisfaction were found among students in Turkey. Religiosity and spirituality have significant negative correlations with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Religiosity level, gender, relationship status, year of study, physical activity, symptoms of coronavirus, death of a close relative, job loss, and economic status are significant parameters for predicting psychological problems of students in Turkey.

Creating suitable interventions will require a better understanding of the magnitude and determinants of insomnia. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of insomnia symptoms among residents of Mettu town during the pandemic lockdown.

Residents who lived in Mettu town at least for six months were included. To determine the prevalence and determinants of insomnia symptoms, both descriptive and inferential analyses were used. The chi-squared test of association and logistic regression was used to identify predictors of insomnia symptoms among residents of Mettu town. We used SPSS version 25 for all statistical analyses. Principal findings The prevalence of depressive symptoms among residents of Mettu town was 52.6%. According to results of multivariable binary logistic regression, being female [AOR = 3.677, 95%CI: 2.124–6.365], being aged between 19 and 40 [AOR = 13.261, 95%CI: 6.953–25.291], being aged above 41 [AOR = 2.627, 95%CI: 1.120–6.159], smoking [AOR = 15.539, 95%CI: 7.961–30.329], satisfaction with information available [AOR = 0.310, 95%CI: 0.168–0.570], fear Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), [AOR = 2.171, 95%CI: 1.262–3.733], feeling alienated from others [AOR = 3.288, 95%CI: 1.897–5.699], having somatic symptoms [AOR = 2.298, 95% CI: 1.360–3.884], having depressive symptoms [AOR = 1.841, 95% CI: 1.073–3.160], and experiencing psychological distress [AOR = 1.962, 95% CI: 1.173–3.281] were significantly associated with insomnia symptoms.
