Background: Restricting community mobility during COVID-19 can potentially trigger anxiety, depression and stress in the community. The study aims to analyze variables associated with the community psychosocial burden (anxiety level) during the co-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Methods: This study collected data (n ¼ 8,031) online. Psychosocial burden was measured based on the anxiety level which include 5 aspects, such as economic, religious, educational, employment, and social issues. Each question used a Likert scale. Six independent were examined, such as age, gender, religion, marital, education, and employement. In the final stage, a multivariate test was performed using a multinomial logistic regression. Results: Someone older experienced less high anxiety. The age group of 20-29 years was 4,330 times likely to experience higher anxiety than the age group of 50 years. While, those in the age group of 40-49 years weer 2,322 times more likely to have higher anxiety than those in the age group of 50 years. Male respondents had lower possibility of medium to high anxiety than females. Respondents with secondary and lower education had 3,117 times possibilities to experience higher anxiety than those with high education level. Conclusion: Four variables affected the psychosocial burden i.e, anxiety level of community in Indonesia. These involved age, gender, education, and employement.

“…This aspect needs further studies. A recent review describes how socio-economic, health and psychosocial factors can be considered important to explain the gender differences in psychological health; in fact, most of the gender-related variance was found in countries where the gender gap is largest [12].…”

Findings Time of isolation, education and gender had a significant effect on anxiety and depression. A marked reduction of health services was observed in all patients with dementia. Message The lockdown registered a particularly negative impact on people with dementia and their caregivers.

“…Two sets of multivariate two-level logistic regression models were included in this study. The first set of multivariate logistic regression models controlled age and sex, as their relationships with mental health status are well established in previous studies [51]. Covariates with p < 0.10 in univariate analysis were adjusted in the second set of multivariate logistic regression models; similar approach was used in many published studies [52,53].…”

Background: Mental health problems are common among older people living with HIV and associated with poorer health outcomes. Social capital is an important determinant of mental health problems but under-studied in this population. This study investigated the association between social capital and mental health problems among older people living with HIV in China. Methods: The study was based on the baseline data of a cohort study investigating mental health among older people living with HIV in Sichuan, China during November 2018 to February 2019. Participants were people living with HIV aged ≥50 years living in Sichuan province. Stratified multi-stage cluster sampling was used to recruit participants from 30 communities/towns; 529 out of 556 participants being approached completed the face-to-face interview. Social capital was measured by two validated health-related social capital scales: the Individual and Family scale and the Community and Society scale. Presence of probable depression (CES-D-10 score ≥ 10) and probable anxiety (GAD-7 score ≥ 5) were used as dependent variables. Two-level logistic regression models were applied to examine the association between social capital and probable depression/anxiety. Results: The prevalence of probable depression and probable anxiety was 25.9% (137/529) and 36.3% (192/529), respectively. After adjusting for significant covariates, the individual/family level of social capital was inversely associated with both probable depression (odds ratios (OR): 0.89, 95% CI: 0.84-0.93, p < 0.001) and probable anxiety (OR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.86-0.95, p < 0.001). The community/society level social capital was associated with probable depression (OR: 0.91, 95% CI: 0.84-0.99, p < 0.001) but not probable anxiety (p > 0.05).
