“…The previously presented effects, together with the levels of anxiety within appropriate limits, indicate that the development of positive psychological states at work, through intervention approaches, had a protective impact on the participating leaders, contributing to bearable and adequate levels of anxiety, as well as preserving mental health and increasing well-being at work. These findings corroborate that personal resources, in addition to contributing to the promotion of well-being at work (Schaufeli et al, 2012), can act as protective factors against anxiety (Almansa et al, 2022). The innovative structure of the intervention program integrated actions to increase social and personal resources from the Job Demand-Resources Model (Schaufeli et al, 2013;Vazquez & Schaufeli, 2020) and the Basic Psychological Needs Theory, supporting the understanding of underlying motivational and well-being factors (Deci & Ryan, 2000;Ryan & Deci, 2017).…”

“…We chose to use a cross-sectional survey ( 29 ) because it is helpful for us to understand the current situation of e-learning, coping styles and personality tendencies among medical students, and to explore the influencing factors of adverse emotions. At the same time, cross-sectional research methods have been used in most studies on e-learning ( 30 , 31 ) or the mental state ( 32 , 33 ) of college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. An anonymous and confidential online questionnaire was administered to medical students from three universities in China.…”
