“…With regards to Hypothesis 1, students' poor mental health and negative affect were negatively related to perceived social support and inclusion of others in the self, while positive affect was negatively related. These findings are in line with previous research indicating that social support and interpersonal closeness are important environmental resources that relate closely to mental health (Holt-Lunstad et al, 2010;Reis & Aron, 2008;Reis et al, 2000;Tambağ et al, 2018) and can also affect people's psychological condition (Ao et al, 2020;Halperin Ben Zvi et al, 2021).…”

The aim of the study was to examine the perceived social support and inclusion of others in the self as predictors of students’ mental health and affect during COVID-19 lockdown. One hundred and thirty-seven university students from Greece participated in a cross-sectional study completing a number of self-report online questionnaires such as the General Health Questionnaire, the Job Affect Scale, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support and the Inclusion of Others in the Self scale. Results indicated that perceived social support and inclusion of others in the self were negatively correlated with students' mental health status and negative affect and positively correlated with positive affect. Moreover, perceived social support from family and inclusion of others in the self were predictors of students’ mental health and positive affect. The present findings highlight the importance of family support and interpersonal closeness in students’ mental health during pandemic. The practical applications and limitations of the research study are discussed.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a significant health concern associated with several risk factors. This study aims to assess the prevalence of PPD and its related factors in a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, specifically King Khalid University Hospital (KKUH). MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted of 187 females aged 18 to 50 years old who gave birth at KKUH. Data were collected from the same participants at two stages using the same questionnaire, which consisted of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and demographic questions. In the first stage, the participants were selected randomly. The second stage included participants who scored less than 9 on the EPDS in the first stage and were asked to retake the questionnaire four weeks later. ResultsThe prevalence of PPD found in this study was 50.3%, which is higher than in other studies that have been conducted in the country. Furthermore, factors such as sleep disturbances (p = 0.005), loss of interest in daily activities (p = 0.031), mood swings (p = 0.021), frequent bouts of sadness (p < 0.0001), and frustration or worry (p < 0.0001) were all found to significantly increase the risk of PPD. ConclusionThis study demonstrates a high prevalence of PPD in women who delivered at KKUH. More studies with a more rigorous methodology are warranted.
