“…When faced with natural catastrophes, humans use self-regulation in order to reduce pressure since they cannot change the existing environment (Ramaiya et al, 2022). According to the transcript analysis, it can be found that in the COVID-19 pandemic, individually-owned businesses often use four self-regulated strategies, including self-comfort, self-preference, looking forward to the future, and exploring solutions, to reduce pressure.…”

Background: COVID-19 has emerged as a public health crisis with far-reaching implications, impacting not only physical well-being but also precipitating severe mental health challenges. Compared to other occupations, individually-owned businesses in China lack adequate external security measures. However, the mental health challenges they face during this epidemic have not been thoroughly examined. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the mental health of individually-owned businesses in China during the COVID-19 epidemic. Methods: Employing a qualitative research design, 26 individual businesses were selected for semi-structured interviews to investigate their mental health status amidst the pandemic. Results: The results indicated that individually-owned businesses reported experiencing a range of perceived psychological feelings such as helplessness, complaint, fear, and anxiety. Additionally, it was revealed that these businesses relied on social support that included physical, emotional, and informational support to alleviate the negative impact of the pandemic. Self-regulation was also identified as a useful strategy for coping with the challenges faced by these businesses. Conclusion: The mental health of individually-owned businesses in China needs to be concerned, and relevant psychological improvement intervention programs can be formulated from the perspective of social support and self-regulation.

Background Because of wars, conflicts, persecutions, human rights violations, and humanitarian crises, about 84 million people are forcibly displaced around the world; the great majority of them live in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). People living in humanitarian settings are affected by a constellation of stressors that threaten their mental health. Psychosocial interventions for people affected by humanitarian crises may be helpful to promote positive aspects of mental health, such as mental well‐being, psychosocial functioning, coping, and quality of life. Previous reviews have focused on treatment and mixed promotion and prevention interventions. In this review, we focused on promotion of positive aspects of mental health. Objectives To assess the effects of psychosocial interventions aimed at promoting mental health versus control conditions (no intervention, intervention as usual, or waiting list) in people living in LMICs affected by humanitarian crises. Search methods We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, and seven other databases to January 2023. We also searched the World Health Organization's (WHO) International Clinical Trials Registry Platform and ClinicalTrials.gov to identify unpublished or ongoing studies, and checked the reference lists of relevant studies and reviews. Selection criteria Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing psychosocial interventions versus control conditions (no intervention, intervention as usual, or waiting list) to promote positive aspects of mental health in adults and children living in LMICs affected by humanitarian crises. We excluded studies that enrolled participants based on a positive diagnosis of mental disorder (or based on a proxy of scoring above a cut‐off score on a screening measure). Data collection and analysis We used standard Cochrane methods. Our primary outcomes were mental well‐being, functioning, quality of life, resilience, coping, hope, and prosocial behaviour. The secondary outcome was acceptability, defined as the number of participants who dropped out of the trial for any reason. We used GRADE to assess the certainty of evidence for the outcomes of mental well‐being, functioning, and prosocial behaviour. Main results We included 13 RCTs with 7917 participants. Nine RCTs were conducted on children/adolescents, and four on adults. All included interventions were delivered to groups of participants, mainly by paraprofessionals. Paraprofessional is defined as an individual who is not a mental or behavioural health service professional, but works at the first stage of contact with people who are seeking mental health care. Four RCTs were carried out in Lebanon; two in India; and single RCTs in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Jordan, Haiti, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the occupied Palestinian Territories (oPT), Nepal, and Tanzania.

Children and adolescents are more vulnerable to disaster-related trauma. The specific aim of this paper was to review the coping strategies used by children and adolescents in the aftermath of disasters. The relationship of coping methods with psychological consequences were also explored, along with the effectiveness of specific strategies in dealing with traumatic experiences of disasters. A literature search of electronic databases, involving the keywords “coping,” “children” and “adolescents,” and “disaster” was done along with secondary searches of the cross references. It was evident that children and adolescents use a range of coping strategies, and a large proportion of them are helpful, while others could be detrimental to their mental health. Many children and adolescents cope with disaster trauma and are resilient. Facilitation of positive coping methods can be used as an intervention along with other supportive activities and as a part of other psychological interventions. Coping can be supported by family, nonprofessional caregivers, community, and clinicians. There is a research need to develop consensus about the terminologies and culture-specific coping assessments and to explore the short- and long-term effectiveness of interventions focused on coping.
