“…Despite its important contribution, the association between COR theory and the COVID-19 pandemic has been studied only to a limited extent [18][19][20][21]. The physical health, economic and socio-psychological consequences of COVID-19 inevitably result in multiple forms of loss of resources (e.g., loss of a loved one, health, financial stability, job, social connection and sense of security), which may increase the likelihood of developing traumatic symptoms and psychological distress [9].…”

Objectives: The Conservation of Resources (COR) theory suggests that stress results from threatened or actual loss of resources following significant life events. This study used COR theory as the framework to explore the reflection of loss of resources during the COVID-19 pandemic on psychological distress and resilience, in an adult Jewish Israeli population.Methods: We examined the association between background variables, stress, loneliness, concern, COVID-19-related post traumatic symptoms (PTS), resilience factors and COR via an online survey among 2,000 adults during April 2020.Results: Positive relationships were identified between resource loss and PTS (r = 0.66, p < 0.01), and between resource gain and resilience (r = 0.30, p < 0.01). Psychological variables were significantly associated with PTS and explained 62.7% of the variance, F (20, 1,413) = 118.58, p < 0.001.Conclusion: Loss of resources, stress, loneliness and concern were found to be risk factors for distress and PTS, whereas resilience factors played a protective role. We thus recommend using the COR theory to explore COVID-19 effects elsewhere.

Background: From all the sports around the world, basketball is certainly such popular that it attracts people who loves to watch it, as well as people who loves to play it. Due to the form of this sport, it is very likely to get an injury while playing it. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to determine the most repeated types of injuries that might occur to the basketball players, how many basketball players get injured during their professional career, what the convalescence after the injury looked like, and how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced the group of professional basketball players of the EBL (Energa Basket Liga), 1LM and 2LM. Material and methods: Data collected from a survey sent to 19 basketball players in February 2021. Results: Most of the basketball players who took part in the examination at some point during their career suffered from an injury, at least one. The part of the body that was affected the most was the lower limb. As the players stated, the injuries that they had were the reason of a long absence in the game. For most of the time the convalescence process consisted of co-operation with the physiotherapist. The mental health of the players was disparately affected by the ensuing injury. As well the COVID-19 pandemic influenced the interviewees’ contracts, and most of the times, their mental health’s condition. Among the players who were tested positive with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, each one developed some kind of signs of the infection. Conclusion: Each of the examined players during their professional career at least once suffered form an injury that influenced their physical health, and sometimes also mental health condition. In general, the pandemic period affected badly not only in a sphere of mental health, but also social life elements, such as ability to work out and prepare to the season.

“…Further, scholars have recently begun to focus on the mental health of specific groups, most prominently healthcare workers ( 4 , 8 – 11 ), but also students ( 12 ), hospitality workers ( 13 ), footballers ( 14 ), etc. However, this research again studies non-country-level predictors and, critically, there is hardly any research focused on the specific group of managers ( 15 ).…”

BackgroundThere is limited research focusing on publicly available statistics on the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic as predictors of mental health across countries. Managers are at risk of suffering from mental disorders during the pandemic because they face particular hardship.ObjectiveWe aim to predict mental disorder (anxiety and depression) symptoms of managers across countries using country-level COVID-19 statistics.MethodsA two-wave online survey of 406 managers from 26 countries was performed in May and July 2020. We used logistic panel regression models for our main analyses and performed robustness checks using ordinary least squares regressions. In the sample, 26.5% of managers reached the cut-off levels for anxiety (General Anxiety Disorder-7; GAD-7) and 43.5% did so for depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9; PHQ-9) symptoms.FindingsWe found that cumulative COVID-19 statistics (e.g., cumulative cases, cumulative cases per million, cumulative deaths, and cumulative deaths per million) predicted managers' anxiety and depression symptoms positively, whereas daily COVID-19 statistics (daily new cases, smoothed daily new cases, daily new deaths, smoothed daily new deaths, daily new cases per million, and smoothed daily new cases per million) predicted anxiety and depression symptoms negatively. In addition, the reproduction rate was a positive predictor, while stringency of governmental lockdown measures was a negative predictor. Individually, we found that the cumulative count of deaths is the most suitable single predictor of both anxiety and depression symptoms.ConclusionsCumulative COVID-19 statistics predicted managers' anxiety and depression symptoms positively, while non-cumulative daily COVID-19 statistics predicted anxiety and depression symptoms negatively. Cumulative count of deaths is the most suitable single predictor of both anxiety and depression symptoms. Reproduction rate was a positive predictor, while stringency of governmental lockdown measures was a negative predictor.
