“…If the students are perceiving continued stress over time, it will not only affect their mental health but physical health as well, as the stress has proven to be one of the major causes of various physical and mental disorders such as hypertension, depression, diabetes, asthma, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases [38][39][40][41]. Hence, the students require proper attention, help, and support from their families and institutions [12].…”

Background Higher education institutions across the world moved to e-learning in response to the disruptions caused by the pandemic. While e-learning has an advantage for students that they can attend to their courses from anywhere at their convenience, yet the sudden disruptive shift to e-learning during the pandemic saw students facing many challenges, which had strong ability to induce mental health issues among the students. This study aimed at examining the impact of COVID-19-induced e-learning on the university students’ stress perceptions in Oman. Results A total of 966 usable responses were received. The results showed that 96.9% (moderate stress = 82.5% and high stress = 14.4%) reported having experienced stress through e-learning during COVID-19. The results further indicated that there was a significant negative correlation between perceived stress and the students’ academic performance. The family support and institutional support were observed to have a significant effect on students’ stress perception. Conclusions Students are away from the physical campuses over a year now, continuing their courses and programs online. The numerous challenges they are facing through e-learning, together with the prevailing uncertainty, have intensified stress among them. The continued stress over time will not only affect their academic performance, but their mental and physical health as well, as the stress has proven to be one of the major causes of various physical and mental disorders. While e-learning seems to emerge as a new normal, the students require proper attention, help, and support from their families and institutions. The institutions should revisit their online courses and program delivery mechanisms, methods, and practices to ensure that students are not over stressed.

“…We know from past work that proactive coping ( Polk et al, 2020 ) and control beliefs ( Neupert et al, 2007 ) are key ingredients for resilient stress responses, representing potential targets for intervention. For instance, Stauder et al (2017 , 2018) found that using coping skills training with employees from work-environments that were stressful, but unchanging, helped reduce stress and improve well-being.…”

et al. 2020

As COVID-19 continues to impact global society, healthcare professionals (HCPs) are at risk for a number of negative well-being outcomes due to their role as care providers. The objective of this study was to better understand the current psychological impact of COVID-19 on HCPs in the United States This study used an online survey tool to collect demographic data and measures of well-being of adults age 18 and older living in the United States between March 20, 2020 and May 14, 2020. Measures included anxiety and stress related to COVID-19, depressive symptoms, current general anxiety, health questions, tiredness, control beliefs, proactive coping, and past and future appraisals of COVID-related stress. The sample included 90 HCPs and 90 age-matched controls (M age = 34.72 years, SD = 9.84, range = 23-67) from 35 states of the United States. A multivariate analysis of variance was performed, using education as a covariate, to identify group differences in the mental and physical health measures. HCPs reported higher levels of depressive symptoms, past and future appraisal of COVID-related stress, concern about their health, tiredness, current general anxiety, and constraint, in addition to lower levels of proactive coping compared to those who were not HCPs (p < 0.001, η 2 = 0.28). Within the context of this pandemic, HCPs were at increased risk for a number of negative well-being outcomes. Potential targets, such as adaptive coping training, for intervention are discussed.

“…15 Furthermore, proactive coping skill development has been shown to help employees from stressful but unchanging work environments to reduce their stress and improve their well-being. [16][17][18] This skill allows you to think of a stressor and prepare your response to it ahead of time rather than reacting in the moment.…”

Objective Identify the frequency and types of mistreatment experienced by residents from patients and their families (P&F) and determine whether the types and frequency varied based on resident gender. Design An anonymous survey was distributed to residents to assess the types of P&F mistreatment toward residents and the association with resident gender. Setting The survey was distributed to the general surgery and urology programs at a large academic medical center in the mid-Atlantic. Participants: 23 of 53 residents (43% response rate) participated in the anonymous survey. Residents: 15 male residents (65%), 8 female residents (35%). Results: 12 of 23 responding residents (52%) indicated they experienced at least one form of mistreatment from P&F. Women were more likely to experience mistreatment (88% vs. 33%), with verbal assault was the most frequent (50% for female residents, 33% for male residents). Patients were more often the source than families (52% vs. 41%); verbal assault or threats of physical harm were the most common (50% for female residents, 33% for male residents). Conclusions Residents experience mistreatment from multiple sources. This paper provides insight into the experiences of surgical residents with mistreatment from their P&F, with differences in frequency of behaviors dependent upon the perpetrator group and resident gender. Patients and their family mistreatments are likely underreported and may be more difficult to prevent. It is important to identify mitigation strategies and ensure resources are available for those residents experiencing mistreatment. A strong culture against mistreatment and providing specific resources may minimize the experience and negative effects of mistreatment.
