“…Finally, a slightly significant positive correlation was found between anxiety related to COVID-19 and pandemic fatigue, which is consistent with previous studies [ 39 ]. Previous studies on the psychological impacts of the pandemic have suggested that feelings of stress and anxiety related to the virus were common [ 40 ].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a heavy impact on daily life, leading to physical and psychosocial consequences. Nowadays, clinicians and health researchers are particularly interested in describing and facing the long-term effects of COVID-19, also known as “long-COVID syndrome”. Pandemic fatigue has been defined as a cluster of demotivation, tiredness, and psychological effects that emerge gradually over time after the infection or through the adoption of the recommended measures to combat it. In this study, we report the findings of a large survey conducted in South America involving 1448 participants (mean age: 33.9 ± 11.2 years old) from Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, Peru, and Paraguay. An online survey was launched through the common social media based on a specific assessment aimed to detect the prevalence of pandemic fatigue and associated factors. Socio-demographic characteristics, medical, and personal information were collected; the Pandemic Fatigue Scale (PFS) and the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) were also administered. We found mid-levels of pandemic fatigue among respondents (21.7 ± 7.95 score at PFS) as well as significant anxiety related to the COVID-19 pandemic (1.56 ± 2.76 score at CAS). In addition, pandemic fatigue was significantly associated with the experience of the loss of a relative/friend due to COVID-19, anxiety related to the infection, and reliance on social media as a primary source of information on the pandemic. Vaccination significantly reduced the levels of fatigue among respondents. Our findings may add to the international debate regarding the long-term health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and strategies to manage them in the general population of South America.

“…The current systematic review and meta-analysis sought to investigate the correlates and psychometric properties of the C-19ASS. The C-19ASS exhibited a consistent factor structure and acceptable reliability in Brazilian (Coelho et al, 2022), Chinese (Xin et al, 2022), Greek (Seydavi et al, Unpublished), Indonesian (Muthiah et al, 2022), Iranian (Akbari, Seydavi, et al, 2021), Italian (Mansueto et al, 2022), Saudi Arabian (Alhakami et al, 2023), Turkish (Obu ca et al, Unpublished) and US (Nikčevi c & Spada, 2020) populations. In addition, it has been studied concerning a vast array of variables, as described above, which makes it a promising tool for assessing COVID-19-pandemic-related psychopathology.…”

“…The current study sought to investigate the psychometric properties of the C‐19ASS through a meta‐analysis/systematic review. The measure has been broadly welcomed, leading to its use in Brazilian (Coelho et al, 2022), Chinese (Xin et al, 2022), Greek (Seydavi et al, 2023), Indonesian (Muthiah et al, 2022), Iranian (Akbari, Seydavi, et al, 2021), Italian (Mansueto et al, 2022), Saudi Arabian (Alhakami et al, 2023), Turkish (Obuća et al, Unpublished) and US (Nikčević & Spada, 2020) populations. Generally, good psychometric properties were reported across these different populations.…”

Coronavirus disease‐19 (COVID‐19) has led to the demise of millions of people worldwide; additionally, it has resulted in a significant economic and mental health burden. Since the onset of the COVID‐19 pandemic, various measures have been constructed to evaluate pandemic‐related fear and anxiety. The COVID‐19 Anxiety Syndrome Scale (C‐19ASS) is a promising measure that assesses coping strategies (e.g., avoidance, checking, worrying and threat monitoring), termed ‘COVID‐19 Anxiety Syndrome’, in response to COVID‐19 fear and anxiety. The measure has been broadly welcomed, leading to its use in Brazil (Portuguese), China, Greece, Indonesia, the Philippines, Iran (Farsi), Italy, Saudi Arabia (Arabic), Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. To gain a better understanding of the relevance of the COVID‐19 Anxiety Syndrome, we conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis to explore the psychological correlates and psychometric properties of the C‐19ASS. Through the analysis of a total of 17,789 individuals (age range 19–70; female = 33%–85%), the C‐19ASS demonstrated a consistent factor structure, measurement invariance across gender and acceptable reliabilities. Furthermore, a significant association with COVID‐19 anxiety, depressive symptoms, generalized anxiety, health anxiety, psychological distress and functional impairment (work and social adjustment) during the COVID‐19 pandemic was observed. When considering the Big Five personality traits, the C‐19ASS and its subscales were only significantly and negatively associated with extraversion; only the total score on the measure was associated with neuroticism. The observed effect sizes ranged from very small to medium. Given that all included studies (K = 24) were cross‐sectional, and due to the nature of the COVID‐19 Anxiety Syndrome, which may well persist after the pandemic ends, it is recommended to continue screening society for the persistence of this syndrome.

“…Older age, wider pulse pressure, male sex, low rank, non-metropolitan location, alcohol consumption and smoking are associated with increased risk of MetS in this study, which was consistent with the findings of previous studies. 15,19,35,[47][48][49][50] Male police officers had significantly increased odds of metabolic syndrome.…”

Objective: The prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) in Thai police officers is unknown. This study aims to accurately determine the prevalence of MetS in this population compared to the Thai general population. Materials and Methods: We conducted a population-based cross-sectional study of 107,933 Thai police officers during the 2012 annual Police Health Care Center check-up. Metabolic syndrome was defined using the harmonized criteria of six international expert groups. Results: The prevalence of MetS among Thai police officers was 39.24%, with a higher prevalence among males compared to female police officers (40.9% male and 14.3% female). The prevalence was higher in male police officers (40.65% versus 23.80%, P<0.001), whereas it was lower in female officers (16.30% versus 31.59%, P<0.001) when compared to the general population. High blood pressure was the most common abnormal metabolic component in both genders (male 67.4 % female 33.3%). Whereas observation of low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) in males (11.6%) and high fasting plasma glucose (FG) in females (16.3%). The adjusted odds ratio for MetS increased with age, wide pulse pressure, male gender, lower rank, alcohol drinking, and being in a non-metropolitan city. Conclusion: The prevalence of MetS is higher among Thai police officers compared to the general Thai population. These findings underscore the need for effective preventive measures and continuous monitoring to reduce the risk and burden of cardiovascular diseases.
